As we continue to apply Systems Engineering and Model Based Approaches to the acquisition of complex and closely coupled systems, the ability to map, analyse and manage the interfaces across all the component elements of a capability presents a significant challenge. This paper provides an overview of the application of a Model Based Systems Engineering Approach to a case study, supported by the Whole‐of‐System Analytical Framework (WSAF), to manage the integration and acceptance of the Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) and its application to a case study in the United Kingdom (UK) defence acquisition domain. The approach seeks to provide the ability to conduct analysis of DLOD elements down to a significant level of granularity, including the inter‐ and intra‐DLOD dependencies. The aim being to provide a comprehensive, consistent and systematic view of the DLODs across a complex and disparate stakeholder landscape. This supports the ability to manage the integration and acceptance of the DLODs which, when successfully effected, deliver military capability.
