UAF (Unified Architecture Framework) Based MBSE (UBM) Method to build a System of Systems Model
Lalitha Abhaya
Abstract
Abstract The system model is defined as the main source of truth for systems engineering. Current MBSE methods are focused mainly on single systems. As per the literature, we lack the MBSE methods to develop the system models of System of Systems (SoS). Systems engineers use architecture frameworks for this purpose, but the huge number of views included within an architecture framework makes it difficult to select the appropriate views and expert knowledge is required to tailor the framework. The UAF (Unified Architecture Framework) Based MBSE (UBM) method described within this paper addresses this issue. This method uses a selected subset from the UAF domain model and defines a step by step procedure to construct the system model for a complex, System of Systems in a military domain.
