Through the virtual barrier: virtual prototyping and analysis with model-based systems engineering

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Vision 2025 states that advancing Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) beyond its current state of practice should include full integration with other engineering models, representation of different characteristics of a system with different models, and utilization of immersive technologies for efficient shared human understanding of systems. Accomplishing these goals would address frequent weak communication links between system users and system developers and facilitate the development of systems that are adaptable to changing operational environments. A literature review performed identified video game engines as a technology that can enable the accomplishment of INCOSE's goals, and a framework is proposed that augments the functionality and capabilities of model-based systems engineering with this technology. The initial framework prototype developed for a ground vehicle is described. This research is directly applicable to many issues that have been present in system development programs across the United States government.
