Ansys and BAE Systems advance digital engineering across US DoD
9th May 2024 | In News | By Michael Tyrrell
Ansys has announced it is working with BAE Systems to accelerate the adoption of digital engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) across the US Department of Defense (DoD).
Aligned with recent DoD guideline 5000.97, Ansys will help BAE Systems customers move away from manual processes and toward modernising system design, delivery, and operation through an MBSE approach.
BAE Systems delivers a comprehensive range of products and services for defence, intelligence, and civilian systems, including electronic systems, security solutions, and more. The company is working with Ansys to build efficient simulation processes and data management for system development, testing, evaluation, and sustainment of DoD programmes through its Mission Advantage technology partnership programme. Ansys will provide strategic bid support, architecture engineering, and go-to-market acceleration for sensitive digital engineering applications.
The Ansys strategic partnership will play a central role in the analysis, testing, and development of next-generation digital engineering environments to rapidly assess interoperability and new technology capabilities in the important areas of: AI and autonomy, integrated network system-of-systems, human-machine interfaces, and integrated sensing.
“Together, we are a force multiplier to bring digital mission engineering to the DoD,” said Daniel Perkins, director of strategy and technology partnerships for BAE Systems’ Intelligence & Security sector. “BAE Systems recognises Ansys as the leader in simulation and we are excited to grow this strategic partnership.”
“Ansys solutions play a pivotal role for defence communities to act swiftly on high priority programmes,” said Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at Ansys. “A robust digital engineering ecosystem is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. By joining the Mission Advantage programme, Ansys solidifies its commitment to the advancement of digital engineering across diverse industries and supporting the next generation of innovation.”
