MBSE

Combining deep domain knowledge and practical experience with cutting-edge modeling tools and proven methodologies

Enhancing efficiency and scalability

JHNA applies tailored MBSE approaches to complex defense system challenges byintegrating requirements, structure, behavior, and interfaces into a unified model environment.

Our team of subject matter experts combines deep domain knowledge and practical experience with cutting-edge modeling tools and proven methodologies to deliver robust, innovative solutions. By creating reusable content libraries and improving traceability, we not only enhance efficiency but also establish a foundation for future scalability and adaptability.

How do we APPROACH MBSE?

JHNA’s MBSE approach provides meaningful system insights at every stage of the lifecycle, empowering informed decision-making and ensuring optimal system performance. We also emphasize collaboration with stakeholders, using MBSE to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams, fostering clear communication and alignment. This ensures that our solutions meet mission-critical needs, reduce risks, and uphold the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Our Approach Includes: 
  • Enterprise Modeling Strategy: Development and maintenance of shared libraries to support reuse across programs, reducing duplication of effort and aligning teams on a common model baseline.
  • Integrated Requirement Modeling: Modeling system requirements in a centralized, traceable structure to enable change impact analysis and reduce dependency on document-based processes.
  • Interface Modeling & Visualization: Using diagrams such as Internal Block Diagrams (IBDs) and traceable tables to clarify interfaces and ensure accurate, accessible information across teams.
  • Rapid Response Modeling: We use fast-turn analysis and decision support using scalable models to reflect system-wide impacts from single requirement changes—critical for Agile development environments.
Our Key Features, Benefits, & Applications
Traceability
  • Our ability to create and maintain relationships across different areas of systems engineering means that no aspect of the system is overlooked. Bidirectional traceability allows our engineers to assess how changes in one area impact other areas.
Defining a System
  • We provide a methodology to define a system in detail, using models to capture all aspects of the system, and link requirements directly to structure and behavior, fostering a seamless path from design to implementation.
  • We allow for early verification and validation of system designs, using simulations to test and refine before physical construction or deployment. This identifies potential issues earlier in the lifecycle.
Improving Communication
  • We maintain a single, unified source of truth for system design and nomenclature, and enhance knowledge transfer by creating a digital, interactive representation of the system, preserving the design rationale and decision-making processes for future reference.
Reusability
  • Facilitates the reuse of MBSE models for similar projects, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with a new start, while supporting modular design approaches.
OUR PROVEN IMPACT
  • Streamlined Cross-Program Reuse
  • Requirement Ripple Effect Analysis in Minutes
