Summary:

MBSE and architecture frameworks were created to help systems engineers cope with the complexity of systems and systems of systems (SoS). Using these modeling languages, systems engineers can define the system, its context, connecting systems, internal components and behaviors, constraints, how the system changes over time, et cetera However, when dealing with a family of systems or a product line of systems, one needs to understand the system variability, common components and behavior across the product line. This can decrease costs for development, maintenance, supply chains, and shorten development lifecycles. Product Line Engineering (PLE) is the engineering and management of a group of related products using a shared set of assets and a means of design and manufacturing. PLE can include system and software assets and involves all aspects of engineering including electrical, electronic, mechanical, chemical, et cetera Model-based Product Line Engineering combines the best of MBSE and PLE. Using an example system from Star Wars, this paper will describe MB-PLE, the process for creating product lines, and the benefits of this approach as applicable to the military ground vehicle domain. Finally, it will show how the adoption of MB-PLE provides analysis of alternatives for candidate architectures
