About
We transform engineering practice by integrating modeling, simulation, AI, and lifecycle data to build smarter, resilient systems.
Our mission
Our mission is to transform how engineering is practiced by integrating modelling, simulation, data analytics, and lifecycle data across the entire system development process. We aim to:
Advance Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to ensure cohesive modeling from design through to decommissioning.
Promote digital thread, enabling seamless data connectivity across all engineering stages.
Drive digital twin & AI adoption to enhance system performance, predictive analytics, and decision-making.
Foster workforce excellence through training, standards adoption, and community collaboration.
We support government, academia, and industry in accelerating innovation, bolstering digital resilience, and delivering capability rapidly and reliably.
