The Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Development Plan (MDP) describes the contractor’s technical approach and proposed plan for the conduct, management, and control of the integrated MBSE effort. It reflects the scope, purpose, and life cycle phase(s) of the program. The MDP provides insight into: the contractor’s processes to be followed for model development and maintenance; the tools to be used; the framework and methodology to be used; the approach to be followed for each activity; the reporting and review artifacts; the linkage to lower level designs and design artifacts; and the project schedule, resources, and progress monitoring and tracking. It supports the system engineering activities; therefore, a program’s MDP is expected to be consistent with its Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP). Additional guidance on the content of the MDP is available in Aerospace Technical Report, ATR-2020-02088, Guidance for Model Based Systems Engineering Development Plan (Copies of the report can be obtained from: SSC/ZAE, 483 N.
