This paper provides a brief executive level description of Model Based Systems Engineering, (MBSE). It introduces the seven abstract core engineering steps that can be used to describe the engineering process and make the process tailorable. A representative set of tools is described that can span the engineering work. The MBSE process, with a tool set is described, as a means to automate the search of the application solution space for feasible or near optimal systems solutions. The approach applies to distributed and real‐time systems. A by‐product of the approach is an automated ability to reuse systems specifications and systems designs. A simple example is provided to show how the optimization works. It shows how modeling and automation augment inspired engineering but do not substitute for it. Substantial work is needed in information standards for systems, tools integration, and search procedures.
