Interim DoDI 5000.02
As we design increasingly complex systems it has become evident that the digital data used in creating them is also vital in fielding and sustainment. This is reflected in the revised Interim DoDI 5000.02 which gives guidance to acquire appropriate data with the design. Read More.
Model Based Enterprise (MBE) is a digital tapestry which has been optimized around a core set of annotated product models enabling rapid, seamless, and affordable deployment of products from concept to disposal
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) controls products, technologies and services designated as a defense article under the U.S. Munitions List, as well as inherently military technologies and model based enterprise.
MBE Standards recently released MIL-STD-31000A defines a TDP and outlines modifications to support a lifecycle productivity transformation and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) ASME Y14.41 standard.
To determine where your company currently stands on its Model Based Enterprise (MBE) journey an assessment can be performed using the MBE Capabilities Index. As stated earlier this index is intended to define levels of MBE capability.
