As Model Based System Engineering methodology becomes THE standard approach for system engineering, it is applied for large programs development based on complex industrial organizations.
The purpose of this paper is to present the various rules and mechanisms supporting this model interoperability across industries and agencies in terms of:
• Modelling structuration (or multi-layer)
• Data object in a tools agnostic’s representation (data model)
• Data Format and recommended standard interfaces
• Centralized configuration control mechanisms
This solution is implemented at Airbus level within the MBSE framework initiative to provide a company-wide flexible and configurable solution supporting the entire Airbus program portfolio (e.g. satellite, helicopter, commercial/military aircraft, drone or ground segment). It is under deployment on several programs, in particular for Future Combat Air System (FCAS), which is a key instrument in ensuring future European autonomy and sovereignty in defence & security.
