Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group Releases a Report that Evaluates the SysML v2 Standard

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Oct. 23, 2025 - PRLog -- The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) has released a critical new report published by its Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) project team. The report, MBSE Data Interoperability Specification Report: Evaluation of the SysML v2 Standard, is the culmination of a year-long investigation into the new SysML v2 standard as a potential solution for enabling better MBSE collaboration between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers.

The report shares the results of that investigation, including:

• An overview of SysML v2, which highlights the significant changes since SysML v1.
• A benefit and gap analysis, which includes a verification matrix summarizing the desired capabilities addressed by the new standard.
• An understanding of different options for implementation within a set of collaborating organizations.
• Considerations external to the SysML v2 standard that must be planned for as part of a rollout.
• Rollout recommendations for A&D organizations and MBSE solution providers.
• Recommendations for the Object Management Group (OMG) for future updates to the SysML v2 standard to address the gaps.

The study findings were encouraging, and the A&D industry is expected to be highly interested in rolling out SysML v2. However, the identified gaps need to be addressed in future SysMLv2.x releases before widespread adoption is expected to occur. It is also expected to take some time before the commonly used frameworks transition to the new standard.

According to James Roche, CIMdata's Aerospace & Defense Practice Director, "The Aerospace & Defense community is excited about SysML v2 because it brings new hope for collaborative Model-Based Systems Engineering that avoids vendor lock. The AD PAG MBSE working group has completed an investigation to help foster adoption and rollout in the Aerospace & Defense community. Valuable insights contained in the project report include: benefits/incentives for adoption, options for rollout across OEMs and suppliers, and proposals to OMG and SysML v2 solution providers that would accelerate widespread adoption."
