MBSE and the digital transformation of Mercury’s engineering ecosystem

MBSE and the digital transformation of Mercury’s engineering ecosystem

From the electronification of platforms to the use of artificial intelligence to cloud-connected command and control, there is a digital shift occurring in the defense industry. Discover more about a major pillar of that transformation — model-based systems engineering (MBSE) — and explore why it’s fast becoming a development requirement for Department of Defense (DOD) communication, vehicle and weapon systems programs.

Taking commercial technology to new heights

Taking commercial technology to new heights

The demand for in-orbit processing capabilities is expanding, but the physical size of the average satellite platform is shrinking. This, combined with a space economy that’s heating up, has resulted in a rapidly increasing demand for low-cost microelectronics and chip-scale technology capable of standing up to the rigors of space. Meeting this need will require an evolution in the production of space-bound electronics, which comes with traditionally high costs and lengthy development times.
