A growing number of organizations, including leading aerospace and defense (A&D) companies, are implementing model-based systems engineering (MBSE), a practice developing and exploiting a set of related system models that help define, design, and document a system under development – and reaping the benefits of not only increased productivity, agility, and efficiency, but also time and cost savings.

MBSE is a relatively new technology. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how Development Assurance may be applied in an MBSE based development program. ...The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how Development Assurance may be applied in an MBSE based development program. This will be performed by utilizing the example in Appendix E of ARP4754B and showing an example of the Development Assurance activities and artifacts in an MBSE context. ...This will be performed by utilizing the example in Appendix E of ARP4754B and showing an example of the Development Assurance activities and artifacts in an MBSE context.

Radiation-Tolerant FPGAs Solve Spacecraft Design Challenges Thermal Management for Directed Energy Weapons New Diamond Super-Material Enhances Aircraft Survivability Development of a Secure Private Neural Network Capability From DC to Daylight - How Innovations in Microwave Absorbers Shield the Warfighter Army Advances Materials for New Low-Profile Antenna Directed-Energy System to Defeat Small Unmanned Aircraft System Swarms New weapons technology is needed to combat the proliferation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), miniaturization of sensor technology, and advancement of UAS swarm logic that will enable swarms of sUAS to threaten US airbases by the 2025 timeframe.

To ensure safe aircraft takeoffs and landings, one of the most vital areas to inspect for possible fatigue cracking and heat damage is the wheel bead seat. Comprehensive examination of this critical area, where the rubber edge of a tire contacts the wheel, requires having the right wheel inspection equipment on hand for the job – and not all maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities do.
