Abstract: There are many challenges to delivering the next generation of Defense systems. The complexity of systems and the constant evolution of threats requires greater agility than ever before. Budgetary constraints drive the need for predictable delivery and informed decision making, maximizing capability and availability within an affordability envelope. The increasing complexity of the environment will therefore mandate interoperability with other Defense systems and collaboration throughout the supply chain. For many Defense organizations, adopting a Model-Based approach across the acquisition lifecycle has been vital to program success and part of a dramatic transformation in terms of thinking, culture, and ways of working. In this webinar, we’ll show how a Model-Based Acquisition approach enables a step change in capability while assuring value for money and schedule predictability.
