DoN Seeking Innovation & Speed to Deploy


Unclassified

MBSE & CBT&E Approach

• Objective is to field capability faster and cheaper.

• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has proven to:

– Shorten development time.

– Provide greater clarity on requirements and interfaces.

– Enhance collaboration.

– Provide digital thread continuity.

– Enable real-time change promulgation.

• Capabilities Based Test & Evaluation (CBT&E) will:

– Provide a mission focus.

– Enable verification earlier in the development cycle.

– Identify design flaws earlier.

Prize Challenges Approach

• Objectives of the prize challenges approach:

– Identify Payload Adaptor that: (2QFY20 Submittals)

• Standardize physical container designs

• Facilitates rapid loading and unloading

– Identify Architecture that: (2QFY20 Submittals)

• Supports current and future bandwidth requirements for Payloads & Avionics

• Complies with Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA)

• Inform Program Requirements

– Identify Aircraft Approaches that: (4QFY21 Submittals)

• Meet MUX requirements for Payloads and Architecture

• Provide Minimal Viable Product (MVP) Prototypes in FY26 based on

OPTEVFOR Quick Reaction Assessment (QRA) and NAVAIR Flight Clearance

(FC)

Starter Model Overview

8

• The model is replacing paper document-based specifications.

• Payload capability requirements are provided via the starter

model (Cameo Enterprise Architecture V19.0.)

• Table 1 provides a starter model requirements map.

• Table 2 provides the framework for participant-provided

information (design and capability).

• Performance parameters will be extracted from the model to

evaluate designs.
