The design of a MBSE enabled ecodesign approach: case of application at a Dutch radar system developer

ABSTRACT:

As environmental sustainability pushes organisations to integrate sustainable system design into engineering workflows, there remains a gap in translating high-level environmental objectives into actionable design practices. This research addresses the integration gap by developing a Model-Based Systems Engineering enabled ecodesign approach tailored for early-stage product design at a Dutch radar system developer. A ten-step methodology integrates carbon footprint analysis with MBSE functional data to identify architectural hotspots, enabling data-driven decisions within existing workflows.
