Preparing for SysML v2: What It Means for Your Organization

The U.S. Department of Defense, through its Undersecretary for Research and Engineering, has identified that SysML v2 will impact up to 25% of the engineering workforce, signaling the need for organizations to start planning now.

​​​​​​​Meanwhile, the reality is that tens of thousands of SysML v1 models remain in active use across current programs, along with numerous integrations and toolchains based on the v1 standard.

This session will cover what it means to prepare for SysML v2 adoption, including:

• Current Status and Direction of SysML v2: An executive-level overview of where SysML v2 stands today and what to expect over the next 12–24 months.
• Adoption and Migration Considerations: Strategic guidance on when and how to transition from SysML v1, including co-existence strategies and risk mitigation.
• Corporate Migration Planning: Key tasks, timelines, and milestones for a phased migration, aligned with DoD recommendations and industry best practices.
• SysML v1 vs. v2: Key Differences: Understand the critical distinctions in language structure, expressiveness, and tooling—and what these mean for modelers, tool vendors, and program managers.
• Sample Use Case Scenario: A practical example showing how a current SysML v1-based project can begin transitioning towards a SysML v2-based future while maintaining continuity.
