Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

1 Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is radically changing how Systems are developed and modernized, enabling greater visibility of distributed technology infrastructure and predictions of risk, performance and cost. A digital twin created by MBSE is a powerful tool for architecting or remediating Systems -of- Systems where complex interdependencies exacerbate the challenges of identifying risk levels and establishing viable project plans and Twin Technology The MBSE approach is centered on the creation of a digital twin proxy of your system components, data, network, interfaces, requirements and operations.

2 The digital twin provides a validated model you can count on to streamline your Engineering processes from change management through installation, test and troubleshooting for your fielded complex Advanced AnalyticsG2 OPS provides consulting, training and digital twin creation services, with engagements ranging from introductory training and opportunity workshops to turnkey digital twin model creation and tuning. Typical deliverables include: Performance Modeling and a model of a mission s KeyPerformance Parameters (KPP) to mapsystem and interface requirements and usesimulation tools to predict KPP performanceand optimize to their requirements.

3 Baseline/Change Management. Models LifeCycle Inventories (LCI) of infrastructure toautomate Engineering Change Request(ECR) processes to reduce administrativelabor and accurately predict cost, scheduleand performance of changes from the designbaseline. Interface- based Integration RiskManagement. Automates interfacemanagement through architecture-managedinterface requirements. Key LCI processesare supported by auto-producing interfacemanagement plans (IMP). Thread Optimization. Models tactical threadreliability, analyzing for single point of failureand assessing thread-level missionperformance in response to primary,secondary and tertiary system failures.

4 Acquisition Requirements contractor specificationswhich, when coupled with operationaland architecture information, improveunderstanding of requirements to improvecost and schedule performance. Test Automation. Models system states,allowing for parameter variances for morecomplete test coverage, auto generates testmatrices based on interface risk, models KPPrequirements and auto generates technicaldata Systems Engineering (MBSE)Arlington | Virginia Beach | San Diego | | | Automated Technical Certification PackageGeneration.

5 Creates a complete technicalcertification package from the MBSE model ,ready for weapons, safety and missioncertification. Automated Sustainment Support. A fullset of digital twin documentation is createdfor maintenance, training, provisioning andlogistics. Secure Distributed Access. Ensures secureaccess to the MBSE model throughout anenterprise, including model checkout/check-in, advanced analytics hosting and Cyber Risk Management G2 OPS uses MBSE to enhance system integrity and cybersecurity by overlaying vulnerabilities against mission and operational context.

6 This guides prioritizations for mitigations based on operational impact and criticality to mission, including the ability to: mission- based risk impact toproactively prioritize risk mitigations prior toany mission impact. For example, our modelsrecognized WannaCry s impact in March 2017when the vulnerability was first published withhigh risk ratings, well before the exploit wasgenerally deployed in May Generate attack graphs and calculateexploit likelihood. Calculate risk based onarchitectural context, or threat surface,providing a sophisticated vulnerabilityanalysis capability that predicts the likelihoodcyber vulnerabilities will reduce Increase impact visibility for criticalcomponents, attributing risks and vulnerabilitiesto multiple critical mission threads or capability equips leaders with mission- based prioritization for modernization planninglinked to operational Identify obsolescence exposure and supplychain risk.

7 Systematically evaluate vendor andsupplier risks in terms of individual or overallmission to enable remediation prioritizationbased on mission support Integrate discovery scan outputs and otherrisk assessment data with mission ACAS and other RMF-related vulnerabilityand risk assessment output and overlaymission priorities to improve comprehensionand awareness of impact and | Virginia Beach | San Diego | | | creation and use of the digital twin typically includes the following Baseline definition and capture.

8 G2 OPS helps define an organization s IT and cyber architecture including the physical (comms, mechanical & electrical), logical (software & data) and operational (requirements & processes) Baseline processes include setting up configuration controls, developing baseline documentation, managing interfaces and providing lifecycle support to manage platform variations over Impact assessments. Starting from the established baseline, G2 OPS provides Unified Risk Management services and can analyze accurate simulations of system model change impacts.

9 Actual or planned changes to the baseline can be accurately modeled to evaluate modernization options, conduct tradeoff analyses, simulate per-formance of future designs and assess the strength of cybersecurity measures.
