Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an emerging paradigm for improving the practice of systems engineering, in which integrated sets of digital system models serve as the focal point for knowledge management, technical communication, and data interchange. Adoption of MBSE by Government prime contractors has grown significantly, often motivated by the drive for improved efficiency from the commercial elements of their businesses. Interest in adopting MBSE on the Government side of that interface has also grown, motivated not only by desire for improved efficiency but also by the need for a better approach for managing the complexity of those Government mission enterprises. This roadmap was created as an initial attempt at establishing a shared vision to drive discussions among the Government acquisition community—and the associated community of prime contractors, systems engineering and integration (SE&I) contractors, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC)—to drive investment and collaboration to improve the state of the practice of MBSE within this community.
