Aerospace & Defense

Demanding complex design challenges are commonly found in Aerospace and Defense applications. Companies need to ensure that they remain competitive but also deliver quality products, on time, trouble-free and within budget to meet the complex challenges within the mission critical, safety, security and certification requirements that must be met, Aerospace and defense programs are rapidly adopting the OMG SysML™ and UML based Model-Driven Development (MDD) for systems and software engineering.

Furthermore, specifying complex Architecture Framework products, DoDAF, MoDAF and its variants are used, with all these approaches enabling engineers to graphically model their system or application to aide in communication, linking in requirements to ensure traceability, simulate the model to catch defects early and then automatically generate documentation, code and test vectors to automate their process. Collaboration management solutions are being used to manage the process and ensure effective communication between design teams and across company boundaries and time zones.
