Description: 

Systems Engineering has become Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in which models are used at all phases of development. To complete the digital thread from concept to disposal, models will be required for the acquisition phase.

This presentation will describe the activities of the Object Management Group (OMG) MBAcq User Group, which is a group with participation from OMG, INCOSE, Armed Services, OUSD, DoD CIO, NDIA, DAU, FFRDCs and many industry suppliers working together to create the standards and guidance to successfully deploy MBAcq to the larger community. 

Please join us for an important discussion on how MBAcq impacts programs now and in the future.  There will be a Q&A portion to the webinar.
