When Is a Project Complex Enough to Justify Systems Engineering or MBSE?

Systems engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) are often discussed as best practices that should be applied everywhere. In reality, they introduce structure, rigor, and overhead that only deliver clear value once a project crosses specific complexity thresholds. The real question is not whether systems engineering is “good practice,” but when informal engineering intuition and […]
Reducing Delivery Risk in Space, Defence, and Aerospace Using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Space, defence, and aerospace programs are inherently complex. They combine hardware, software, operations, safety, security, and regulatory constraints, often across multiple teams, suppliers, and countries. The challenge is not just building advanced technology — it is making sure everything works together, reliably, the first time. This is where systems engineering, and more specifically Model-Based Systems […]
How to Avoid Last-Minute Surprises by Choosing the Right QA Framework for Mission-Critical Systems

Building systems for defense, aerospace, space, or advanced automotive platforms is never simple. These systems are complex by nature, often safety-critical, and usually developed under tight schedules and evolving customer expectations. Yet many programs don’t fail because of poor engineering. They struggle because quality assurance is treated as something to “deal with later.” Many programs […]
