Abstract Sandia National Laboratories is developing and applying an Integrated Phase Gate (IPG) project structure to execute critical programs such as nuclear weapon Life Extension Projects (LEP) that require the utmost attention to reliability, function and other stakeholder requirements including safety and security. This emphasis on project rigor reflects a new directive from the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) to develop robust processes in order to ensure that the nation's nuclear deterrence will be effective and available for decades to come. To this end, Sandia's Advanced and Exploratory Systems Department is developing a SysML model of an integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment with the intent of providing project teams with direct access to program templates, requirements, tools (both program and technical) and related databases. This paper will describe the current state and future direction of the integrated PLM environment SysML model.
