Digital Engineering

Discover how NextGen can accelerate your software development with secure, user-focused solutions.

Digital Engineering Ecosystem

Built on a flexible, future-ready foundation, this solution accelerates innovation through seamless model integration and open, interoperable architectures. It enables teams to collaborate more effectively, adapt quickly to evolving requirements, and build tailored digital capabilities that drive efficiency and mission success.

  • Best of breed platform engineering practices
  • Integrate with software factories as needed
  • Model interoperability across MBSE, M&S, and CAD
  • Develops tailored capabilities & integration

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

We apply SysML, UML, and DODAF frameworks to develop dynamic, mission-driven system models. With automated design specifications, trade studies, and requirement traceability, we ensure faster, more accurate system development.

  • Mission-driven ontologies – SysML/UML
  • Enterprise architecture – DODAF, SysML
  • Kill web with dynamic mission vignettes
  • Algorithms & macros with Cameo API
  • Auto generation of design specifications
  • Automated simulation-based trade studies
  • Automated requirement traceability
  • Architecture, functional/interface design

Modeling & Simulation (M&S)

Our advanced M&S capabilities—including digital twins—inform decisions across the lifecycle of major weapons and mission systems. From weather and communications to RF, EW, and CAD/CAE, our models optimize performance, reduce risk, and enhance mission success.Our advanced M&S capabilities—including digital twins—inform decisions across the lifecycle of major weapons and mission systems.
