From Microwave Journal

Mission engineering is evolving to become a more analytical and data-driven approach to break down and evaluate increasingly complex missions. Closing mission gaps requires stakeholders across government and industry to effectively collaborate, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) can provide a common framework for the underlying architecture composition, simulation, analysis, and design needs. The MathWorks toolchain can provide an integration platform or complement existing solutions to bridge the gap between mission modeling and MBSE.
Through the lens of a search and rescue mission, several key areas where MBSE can complement mission engineering analyses will be highlighted. We will illustrate modeling of a satellite communications system at multiple levels of fidelity with architecture variants. We will perform a trade space analysis by assembling a dynamic simulation of platforms executing a defined mission. We will show how to import pre-existing platform models to improve confidence in simulation accuracy and analysis results. End-to-end mission modeling will be further enabled through scenario visualization in Unreal, orchestrated by executable architecture models.
Highlights
- Leveraging mission engineering and simulation for requirements development and trade space exploration
- Orchestrating mission simulations through activity diagrams
- Modeling RF systems at multiple levels of fidelity
- Scenario visualization with Unreal and Cesium
