Three challenges Challenge 1 : Federating Models / Simulations => MBSE Consistency Safety, security, .. multi-physical How do we know that multiple models are describing the same system? How do we know that simulations operate in a consistent context / environment ? What about scenario relevance ? Challenge 2 : Eliciting, expressing, comparing candidate solutions How do we accelerate impact analysis and decision making?

7 Challenge 3 : Multi-criteria decision making What is a better architecture? What does mean Value across stakeholders? Identifying and weighting criteria? Key Breakthroughs : collaboration across stakeholders, continuous activities during system development (agility, feedback) This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in part or disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of Thales - Thales 2014 All rights reserved. 12 THALES PROPRIETARY Land & Air Systems Tomorrow (2020 2030) : Capability driven 9 8 7 4 5 6 2 3 1 Single Service Component Equipment Composed Services Composed Systems Super systems System of Systems up to Eco-system (Co-Existence) Stand alone Autonomous Interconnected Integrated Collaborating Interacting Sharing Multi customer Interaction System scale This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in part or disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of Thales - Thales 2014 All rights reserved.

8 13 THALES PROPRIETARY Land & Air Systems Tomorrow (2020 2030) : Two main challenges System Definition unstableness Unstable problem space, unstable solution space, unstable stakeholders space. Systems in System-of-systems context Obsolete deliveries due to very long cycles on technical as well as on functional and operational sides Key directions to address these challenges : - collaboration to deliver value on a step by step basis - incremental approach, design for evolutions System Testing incompleteness and operation unstableness Full testing becoming non achievable Some testing not achievable in the real world at reasonable cost / schedule Lessons learnt from system operation will bring needs to be satisfied in short loops This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in part or disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of Thales - Thales 2014 All rights reserved.
