How to Engineer a System of Systems Using CORE

Establishing the framework for affordability is key in applying model-based systems engineering. Legacy systems are increasingly challenging to maintain in light of obsolescence, and Mission Systems Engineering objectives provide a direct on-ramp to system lifecycle affordability through modularity and competition.

Application of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) enables program offices to completely establish clear subsystem boundaries, capabilities, performance, and physical characteristics. MBSE will also enable straightforward technology insertion (New Missions), and obsolescence mitigation (Sustainment). MBSE provides the methodology and infrastructure to achieve the objectives. A secondary MBSE benefit is to enable program offices to compete subsystem upgrades and replacements that include small business participation. Competition at the subsystem level for major procurement items allows the government to compete acquisitions at the subsystem level, leading to improved capability at a better price.
