This paper describes how modeling and simulation tools may be used to support the different phases of the System Engineering process. It is based on the experience acquired by THOMSON‐CSF/NCS‐France in Naval Combat Systems design and development. Modeling and simulation tools cover studies and analysis at different levels of the System Engineering process: Throughout the proposal phase: Tactical and operational level where a simulation tool is used to assess the performance and effectiveness of a Combat System, Throughout the program phase : System requirement analysis level, System design to consolidate the performance of system hardware and software architecture. This paper shows how the authors use the technico‐operational simulation tool 1 TACSIT to assess the performance of a Naval Combat System and the 2 SESworkbench™ tool to assess a system architecture design. Two examples based on real projects illustrate the benefits of modeling and simulation.
