This paper describes the Microcosm program established by DSTO and UniSA to research and to promote good systems engineering and systems integration practice. The initial focus of the Microcosm project is research into the application of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in complex systems engineering and systems integration programs. The paper outlines what Microcosm seeks to achieve with particular focus on the high‐level architecture of the Stage 1 solution. The paper concludes by describing the Stage 1 implementation of the Microcosm ‘ sandpit ’ including the information management environment, the simulation, modelling and control environment, and the physical systems including unmanned ground vehicles, sensors, communications infrastructure and effectors.
