5. NDIA Systems Engineering M&S Committee – Subcommittees and Interactions Status • M&S Professional Certification – Systems Engineering Inputs • A few committee members interacting on an individual basis • NCOIC Interactions • Initial contacts established • USAF Acquisition M&S IPT Interactions • Initial contacts established with Lt Col John Simeoni (SAF/AQRE) • DoD CREATE Program (Physics-Based Modeling) • Initial meeting on getting industry interactions, 16 August 2010 • Life-Cycle Cost Modeling Subcommittee • Currently refining charter, and working toward a short report / point paper by the end of the year. • Current members: Chris Price (Raytheon), Jerry Cothran (Lockheed Martin), Charlie Stirk (Cost Vision), Danielle Anderson (Raytheon), Andreas Tolk (Old Dominion University) • Looking for more members

7. Model-Based Engineering Subcommittee Charter • Assess and promote Model Based Engineering (MBE) practices in support of the DOD capability acquisition life cycle* • Define Model Based Engineering (MBE) • Define how MBE is related to M&S • Identify the potential benefits of MBE • Identify the potential limitations of MBE • Identify how MBE practices can be used in capability acquisition with a primary focus on Systems Engineering • Identify MBE approaches to assess and mitigate risks throughout the capability acquisition life cycle • Identify the issues and challenges with using MBE practices across the capability acquisition life cycle • Identify where/how existing policy, guidance and contracting mechanisms support/hinder Model Based collaboration across program/capability boundaries • Provide recommendations: • For changes in policy, guidance, and contracting mechanisms that could further support Model Based collaboration • For near-term opportunities to leverage MBE in capability acquisition • For areas of MBE research & development that may have high potential pay-off * - Acquisition Life Cycle: All phases of the capabilities life cycle including research, development, Test & Evaluation, production, deployment, operations and support, as well as evolution of deployed systems in response to changes in their environment over time.

9. MBE Definition • Model-based engineering (MBE): An approach to engineering that uses models as an integral part of the technical baseline that includes the requirements, analysis, design, implementation, and verification of a capability, system, and/or product throughout the acquisition life cycle. • Model: A physical, mathematical, or otherwise logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process. (DoD 5000.59 -M 1998) • Preferred MBE Practices: • Models are scoped to purpose/objectives • Models are appropriate to the context (e.g. application domain, life cycle phase) • The models represent the technical baseline that is delivered to customers, suppliers, and partners • Models are integrated or interoperable across domains and across the lifecycle • Core to MBE is the integration of descriptive/design models with the computational models.

10. MBE Subcommittee Status and Schedule • Working sessions on 14-15 June, 22 July, 16-17 August • Four sub-teams created to work different aspects of problem • Scheduled telephone tag-ups every two weeks, online collaboration via SharePoint site • Have defined / now refining elements of MBE “to-be” state and benefits, aligned with acquisition life cycle phases • Outline of final report developed • Presentation of interim results at NDIA SE Conference • Final report (annotated slide package) to be delivered in December
