In a decisive step toward next-generation aerospace development, the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has launched a comprehensive program to implement Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative marks a major shift from document-driven methods to a fully integrated, digital, model-based framework that will strengthen system design, improve traceability, and create a unified digital engineering thread across the program.The MBSE rollout comes on the heels of the AMCA program\u2019s Critical Design Review (CDR), with the goal of building smarter, more interconnected systems at both system and subsystem levels. Tools such as IBM Rational DOORS, Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB\/Simulink, and AMESim will form the backbone of this transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is structured around five milestones over 12 months, each tied to deliverables and phased payments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Assessment & Planning (Month 1): Establish baselines, generate MBSE strategies, and define the digital thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Architecture & Integration (Months 1\u20136): Develop validated models and initiate subsystem requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Modeling & Reports (Months 6\u20138): Generate traceability matrices, architecture reports, and verification mappings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Digital Thread & Verification (Months 8\u201310): Implement digital thread workflows and refine interoperability use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Final Review & Handover (Months 10\u201312): Deliver adoption roadmap, training, and full MBSE repository transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rollout will be a joint effort between ADA and an industry partner, with clearly defined roles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. ADA will provide infrastructure, domain experts, and engineering staff for hands on modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The Vendor will deploy MBSE experts, integrate advanced tools, create customized templates, and ensure milestones are achieved on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Training and knowledge transfer are built into the plan, ensuring ADA\u2019s engineering teams become self reliant in MBSE practices for future programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To participate, the industry partner must demonstrate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. 5+ years of MBSE experience in aerospace\/defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Prior execution of at least one MBSE project at system level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Certified MBSE professionals aligned with INCOSE standards (ISO\/IEC\/IEEE 15288).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Proven expertise in SysML tools like Cameo and Catia Magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By embedding MBSE into the AMCA program, ADA is future-proofing India\u2019s aerospace design ecosystem. The initiative ensures complete traceability from requirements to verification, integrates digital workflows, and provides a living repository of system knowledge. MBSE will allow ADA to integrate knowledge, decisions, and artifacts seamlessly into one digital thread, ensuring speed, accuracy, and scalability for India\u2019s future air combat platforms<\/p>\n\n\n\n
