This paper builds on previously published work on SysML model federation in support of SoS architecting, extending that methodology to address the unique challenges of development in the presence of MLS policies. The paper describes a federation approach spanning classified networks, method to allow an individual system model to be divided across classification levels, and a relationship based classification profile openly published for use.
