Model-Based Systems Engineering
Orchestrate the technical content and scope of your program throughout the entire lifecycle
Aerospace systems engineering is becoming increasingly complex as innovation accelerates. Moreover, organizations face growing pressure to deliver solutions faster and at lower cost, creating a significant paradox. As a result, product integration issues often slow development and drive up expenses, ultimately leading to a continuous cycle of testing and rework.
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is redefining how aerospace and defense organizations design, integrate, and deliver today’s most advanced systems. From next-generation aircraft and spacecraft to defense platforms and mission systems, MBSE enables engineering teams to manage growing complexity through a unified, model-centric approach.
By replacing disconnected documents with interconnected digital models, MBSE creates a single source of truth for requirements, design, simulation, and validation across every discipline—mechanical, electrical, software, and systems. This ensures that every subsystem is aligned with mission objectives, safety requirements, and performance targets from concept through sustainment.
Through MBSE, aerospace and defense organizations can:
-
Accelerate development cycles with early modeling, simulation, and architecture trade studies
-
Enhance mission assurance and safety through continuous verification and validation
-
Strengthen collaboration across engineering teams, suppliers, and government partners with a shared digital thread
-
Reduce cost and rework by identifying design risks before physical testing
-
Support compliance and certification by maintaining full traceability from requirements to verification
As aerospace and defense systems become more software-driven and connected, MBSE provides the digital foundation to integrate complex technologies within a secure, traceable framework.
Siemens MBSE solutions empower aerospace and defense teams to deliver safer, high-performance systems faster and with greater innovation.
