Transforming Acquisition for Commercial Aerospace & Defense – a Model-Based Approach

The evolving business and technical challenges associated with the future of Aerospace and Defense systems require the implementation of innovative practices, tools, and technologies. Responding to the current challenges and industry circumstances facing Aerospace and Defense systems will require a transformation in the acquisition process, with digitally collaborative ways of working between DoD, Aerospace and Defense firms, and their suppliers. Traditional document-centric approaches are being abandoned in favor of connected and trusted, single-source-of-truth models that provide a “virtual twin” and “systems of systems” capabilities. 

For many Aerospace and Defense organizations, adopting a Model-Based Digital Enterprise has been vital to program success and part of a dramatic transformation of thinking, culture, and ways of working. 

Join our topic experts to discuss the advantages of a model-based approach and the business benefits included. We’ll address four key challenges in Model-based Acquisition

1. Integrating Innovation: Bringing together expertise and enabling an organization to work as one enterprise
2. Optimizing Capability: Affording the ability to decide on the best solution
3. Improving Outcomes: Using the same connectivity to manage the complexity of execution
4. Maintaining Capability: Maintaining a dominant capability by assuming an embedded approach to systems engineering and technology insertion with the Digital Twin
