MBSE Enablers for Agile Systems Engineering — Reuse, Modular Systems & Product Lines

Aug 2026 · INSIGHT · 0 citations · 2 references

Abstract

The INCOSE future of systems engineering (FuSE) initiative is a collaborative effort to realize the Systems Engineering Vision 2035 , pivoting from traditional, process‐driven methods to a more agile approach working with the different engineering and systems engineering disciplines, It focuses on addressing complex societal challenges through holistic, sustainable, and AI‐enabled systems engineering, creating actionable roadmaps. The The Agile Systems and Systems Engineering working group has identified eight strategic aspects, two of which are the following: ▪ Shared‐knowledge management – facilitated communication, collaboration, and knowledge curation ▪ Adaptable modular architectures – composable and reconfigurable designs from evolving variations of reusable assets Model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) has progressed to the point that it is now ubiquitous in systems engineering. It is therefore logical that MBSE be used together with systems engineering agility in order to leverage its benefits. This article will examine how the OMG Reusable Asset Specification (RAS), the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), product line engineering (PLE) used as part of MBSE, and agile can address these strategic aspects to enable systems engineering agility.

Developing reuse logic into product configuration: the operational approach for circularity

The transition to circular manufacturing challenges product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, which remain optimized for linear workflows and lack integration of reuse logic. This study investigates how returned components can be systematically reintegrated into product configuration to support circularity....
