Model-Based Systems Engineering

CACI’s Systems Engineering approach embraces MBSE to streamline execution of SE lifecycle phases. CACI’s branded model-based SE approach, Model-Driven Design and Implementation (MDDI SE), addresses our customers' evolving System of Systems needs from the concept development phase to system transition and retirement. Our MDDI SE methodology encapsulates patterns, tools, and artifacts to efficiently deliver reliable systems to customers. MDDI SE provides a digital repository for optimum visibility and gives program Execution Teams and stakeholders streamlined access to information needed for effective decision-making. Our approach enables rapid delivery of Modular, Open System Architecture (MOSA) solutions that fulfill user-driven requirements. A key aspect of our approach is to enable tracking of mission concerns: why, what, how, where, who, when.

Adopting DoD Digital Engineering best practices for incremental development has enabled us to establish a digital thread that connects all lifecycle team activities around a collaborative, authoritative data repository. Our “plug-and-play” MOSA-driven architecture approach helps deliver capabilities, major interfaces, major platforms, and major components that are inherently agile, interoperable (both internally and externally), cost-effective, and modular.

Speaker Bio:
Mr. Tim Anderson has a BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas. His previous roles include working within MBSE vendor-space. He maintained multiple roles at No Magic, Inc., the vendor of such MBSE tools as Cameo EA and MagicDraw. He performed software development, technical support, as well as client consultation/training.
Currently, Mr. Anderson works within CACI’s MBSE group (Model-driven Design and Implementation). He works across DoD and Federal clients to address System of Systems complexities using a model-driven approach. This entails integration across life-cycle phases and integration of a myriad of systems engineering applications including Came EA, DOORs, and Jira.
