SysML v2 in Aerospace & Defense: Enabling the Next Era of Engineering Execution

As Aerospace & Defense systems become increasingly complex, engineering organizations must move beyond disconnected documents and siloed workflows toward connected, semantically precise, and decision-ready engineering knowledge.

This executive e-book explores how SysML v2 is reshaping Model-Based Systems Engineering through semantic precision, interoperability, automation, and AI-augmented reasoning — enabling faster, more confident engineering decisions across the enterprise

Organizations that operationalize engineering knowledge as shared decision infrastructure will improve decision velocity, reduce architectural risk, and sustain competitive advantage in an increasingly complex digital engineering landscape.

• Why SysML v2 represents a major evolution in Model-Based Systems Engineering
• The shift from document-centric engineering toward semantically precise, machine-readable models
• How SysML v2 enables interoperability, automation, and AI-augmented engineering workflows
• The growing importance of digital continuity, lifecycle coherence, and cross-domain collaboration
• Risks associated with delaying digital engineering and SysML v2 adoption
• Practical considerations for transitioning from SysML v1 to SysML v2
• How Dassault Systèmes supports enterprise-scale SysML v2 transformation and adoption
