Abstract :
The generic unified systems engineering metamodel (GUSEM) has pointed the way forward in regard of a generic method of designing single systems, systems of systems, and indeed complete platforms, for military or commercial fields. This paper develops an extended GUSEM based model which is effective from the operational analysis and operational requirements levels within the battlefield scenario, through customer requirements, and down through all levels to the manufacturing (drawings) datapacks of individual systems. (which provide links into testing). Typically these systems would be: ships radar, navigation equipment, EW system, missile system, fire control system, etc. and the same for aircraft. Communications would also be addressed. The term “battlefield” may be considered applicable to commercial environments in addition to military
