Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Delivering Clarity and Control to Complex Systems

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a disciplined approach to system development that replaces traditional document-based methods with robust, digital system models. These models serve as the single source of truth for requirements, interfaces, behaviors, structures and parametrics (RIBS-P).

At ITZ, MBSE isn’t just a tool we use, it’s how we think. We integrate MBSE from the earliest stages of system concept and architecture through development and sustainment, ensuring traceability, interoperability, and mission alignment at every step. By applying object-oriented modeling languages like SysML, UML, and BPMN and following frameworks such as DoDAF and UAF, our team helps government and defense organizations increase clarity, reduce risk, and streamline complex program execution.

ITZ Solutions Include

  • Full-lifecycle MBSE implementation and integration tailored to complex systems across government, defense, and industry.
  • SysML and UML modeling in Cameo, Rhapsody, Sparx EA
  • DoDAF, UAF, and UPDM framework compliance
  • OOSEM-driven systems architecture development
  • Model-based documentation, configuration control, and integration
  • Tailored training for internal government teams adopting MBSE
  • Advanced approaches that enable novel solutions to complex system design challenges

Mission Relevance

From defense programs to government modernization initiatives, MBSE helps organizations align system requirements with strategic outcomes. Our MBSE-driven approach improves design quality, reduces rework, provides a visual representation of complex systems, and enables early-stage risk identification, all while supporting full lifecycle traceability.
