Effective modeling and integration are critical SE capabilities. The goal of this paper is to explore the capabilities of SysML to model and control HIL. The SysML model of a weapon system was created. With help of standards (SCXML, fUML), SysML can be made executable and used for simulation purposes. While SysML was selected to provide a digital model of the weapon system, a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 development kit was selected to create a mockup of a physical system.
