How the OMG’s New RAAML Spec Will Improve Safety and Reliability
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is gaining popularity in organizations creating complex systems where it is crucial to collaborate in a multi-disciplinary environment. Being one of the key MBSE components, SysML, an open-source system modeling language, has a good foundation for capturing requirements, architecture, constraints, views, and viewpoints. The new RAAML Beta Version 1.0 specification defines extensions to SysML needed to support safety and reliability analysis. Read more →

New Open-Architecture Specification for Space and Ground Software-Defined Radios
Many space projects either use hardware radios, which cannot be modified once deployed, or software-defined radios (SDRs) with an architecture that depends on the radio provider and involves significant effort to add new applications. Software-based SDRs enable advanced operations that reduce mission life-cycle costs for space or ground platforms. Object Management Group (OMG) members just released a beta version of the Space Telecommunications Interface (STI) specification, which establishes an open architecture specification for space and ground SDRs and is based upon OMG’s Systems Modeling Language (SysML).
