2022 Digital Enterprise Workshop

Digital Heli via GrabCADThe VFS Redstone Chapter hosted a successful, an all-day kickoff Digital Enterprise Workshop in Huntsville, Alabama on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022. This initiative was in support of innovating aviation acquisition by the US Army by leveraging the digital engineering infrastructure for model-based systems engineering (MBSE).

A Long-Term Objective for Model Based Acquisition

  • Evolve our current system acquisition process from event- and document-based to model-based
  • Moves the engineering discipline from its current state of stove-piped models and data sources toward a future Digital Engineering Ecosystem
  • Improvement resides chiefly in two areas: 1) mission, enterprise architecture, and requirements modeling by the government; and 2) full system development by industry in a digital model
  • Both gov’t and industry need: right info, right time, right format
