Digital Data Packages: Making the Digital Thread Work

MBSE;Digital Engineering;Digital Thread;Technical Data Package

The digital thread promises essential traceability, but done poorly, the digital thread becomes an overwhelming tangle. A digital data package (DDP) reconceptualizes yesterday’s technical data package in the context of digital engineering encapsulating work into a black box transformation from requirements to specification. This presentation establishes the role of the DDP, the definition of a core DDP between systems architecture and detailed design, and its traceability to digital engineering.
