Description

Principles of systems engineering (SE) possess great influence. Frameworks are generated to execute and incorporate such principles. Framework can have various architectural constructs and simultaneously consist of diverse concepts. Concepts like modularity, scalability, integration, and the balance between performance, cost, and risk are guided by SE principles as well as the manufacturability of designed systems due to the migration from mass customization to mass personalization resulting in increased complexity, and as a result need to be guided and gives rise to modularity. However, principles are not enough for effective system design and understanding. There is a need for a framework. The purpose of this complex mixed methods case study design is to explore, understand, and develop a framework for End-to-End (E2E) Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to contribute to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). The objective is to develop an E2E MBSE Framework and then apply the MBSE methodology to solar sail technology as a Proof of Concept (POC). Solar sail technology is a complex system because it is assembled in one domain (earth) and deployed in another domain (space). The rationale for the modeling language of choice for this research, simulation, existing SE and MBSE frameworks that exist, and their corresponding gaps are discussed. There are national security implications and need for embedment of safety critical designs. Startups, institutions, academia, industry, military, and space defense stand to benefit from the framework. The framework successfully takes users from one end of the SE V to the other end.
