MBSE Definition
“Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is the formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases.”
INCOSE SE Vision 2020 (INCOSE-TP ), Sept 2007
MBSE is SE

The MBE to-be state leverages MBE across the acquisition life cycle to enhance affordability, shorten delivery time, and reduce risk. In the to-be state, the models become an integral part of the technical baseline, and evolve throughout the programs life cycle. The current state is characterized by gaps between domain silos and lifecycle development phase hand-offs that are often the source of errors until later in the development process when they are more expensive to fix.  The future state of MBE seeks to reduce these errors though seamless integration of model data across domains and across the lifecycle by aligning shared model properties and assumptions. Different engineering disciplines concurrently operate on different facets of the system and/or product design, such that the impact of a change in one model can be readily assessed in another model. Engineering and programmatic knowledge is shared through a common technical baseline. The models developed by each discipline evolve in maturity throughout the life cycle, and are not thrown away and redeveloped as the program transitions from one phase of development to another. This includes the up-front mission analysis models, the system requirements and architecture models, the detailed hardware and software design models, and the detailed simulation models used to assess and verify all aspects of the system as it evolves. Early validation of requirements including those for manufacturing and support, and efficient development of a fully integrated technical baseline result in significant improvement to the development process.
The collaborative foundation provides a means to share the information from the model registry across the extended enterprise of customers, teammates and suppliers. The foundation includes the modeling standards that enable information exchange, the model registry that enables ready access to the different models, and a trusted environment which enforces protection of intellectual property and secure access to sensitive and classified data. The collaborative environment also enables reuse from one program to another to enable sharing across a family of products and system of systems.
The MBE to-be state includes a workforce that is skilled in the use of the matured modeling methods and tools, an infrastructure that supports this capability, and policies that enable it.
