Real MBSE: Synthesizing Solutions for Mission Success

Building the right system means more than meeting requirements; it’s about making the best possible decisions with the resources, constraints, and technologies available. Explore how systems engineers can synthesize optimal solutions using a bottom-up approach that leverages commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, performance trade studies, and model-based analysis. In Part 4 of our 7-Part Real MBSE webinar series, Dr. Steven Dam focused on Chapter 6 of his book, Real MBSE, “Synthesis.” Learn how to translate functional and performance requirements into feasible system solutions, bridging the gap between “what” the system must do and “how” it will do it. See how MBSE supports the use of commercial components to save time, reduce cost, and improve reliability while maintaining traceability. Explore how system components and subsystems can be modeled, evaluated, and integrated to identify the best configurations for mission objectives. Discover how trade studies, simulations, and risk assessments inform better engineering and management decisions within a digital ecosystem.
