At Raytheon Systems Company, Fullerton Operations, systems and software engineering have taken the approach that programs need a ‘tool thread’, which supports model‐based development with connectivity across all engineering phases. The study group has conducted an extensive analysis, examining many tools for each of the system engineering domains — requirements management (RM), systems architecting (SA), system software development (SW), and system integration and test (I&T). This analysis scored not only the performance of the tool in the applicable engineering domain and its support to model‐based development, but also scored a tool's interfaces to other tools. This analysis is a practical tool selection approach supporting the three tenets of simulation‐based acquisition: integrated engineering environment, iterative acquisition process, and evolved acquisition culture.
