Overview

A five-day, practice-based workshop that takes participants through ISO 15288-aligned systems engineering on a defence system, using MBSE to integrate operational, functional and physical models with end-to-end traceability. Public editions use a military-vehicle design thread.

About this course

A five-day Systems Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) workshop to develop systems engineers who can apply a disciplined, end-to-end process on complex defence programs. Using ISO 15288-aligned processes, participants progress through operational analysis and mission engineering, functional analysis, requirements development, design synthesis and verification and validation, using MBSE techniques to connect the work and maintain traceability.

Workshops produce an integrated set of products: a Systems Engineering Management Plan, an Operational Concept Document (OCD), a Performance Specification (PSPEC), functional and physical architectures, interface control documentation, and a Verification Program Plan with a Verification Cross Reference Matrix (VCRM). EIT runs it for organisations onsite, live online or in hybrid form, and as public courses (for example in Detroit) where the workshop thread is the conceptual design of a next-generation armoured fighting vehicle.

Course facilitators may include

Who should attend

  • Systems engineers
  • Capability developers
  • Business analysts
  • Project managers
  • Consultants

Learning outcomes

  • Formulate a systems engineering management plan for a defined defence system.
  • Construct an operational model from stakeholder needs and scenarios, and derive operational requirements and an OCD.
  • Develop functional models, derive functional and technical requirements and establish traceability.
  • Synthesise a physical architecture and evaluate design alternatives and trade-offs.
  • Apply requirements and configuration management to control technical baselines.
  • Apply MBSE to develop integrated operational, functional and physical models.
