The Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) approach focuses on building an architecture model which is portable to different platforms, re‐usable and interoperable among different domain models. This allows integrating the Human Machine Interface (HMI) model or the Human Factors domain model with the System architecture model seamlessly. MBSE ensures the separation of user specifications from the way the system utilises the capabilities/technologies of the target application platform. Thus a Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the HMI is developed, mapping the end‐user/operator specifications. This model is then transformed to Platform Specific Model (PSM) meeting the requirements/technologies of the specific platform using rapid prototyping. This paper discusses the generation of HMI Prototype from a PIM for a Naval Combat Management System (CMS) using the application codenamed ModVis. It also addresses the advantages of an early Verification and Validation (V&V) of the system model and visualisation of a preliminary prototype of the system early in the project life cycle.
