Re-Creatable and Tailorable Cloud-based Digital Engineering Environment “Digital Engineering Toolbox� Solution

Many Air Force engineers are limited in access to the optimal tools to complete their jobs. Digital Engineering has ability to provide access to the tools required to develop and maintain weapon systems. What is needed is a repeatable and extensible cost-effective method to reach and provide tools and methods (Model-Based Systems Engineering) for data storage of engineering data (Digital Twin) that is capable of being tracked, updated, and interacted with by multiple parties both in the DoD and in the contractor community (Digital Thread). The USAF Digital Engineering (DE) Ecosystem Cloud-Based DE Infrastructure project demonstrated the feasibility of conducting digital engineering in a cloud environment using COTS tools. Sabel proposes to expand on that work and create repeatable and extensible versions of the cloud deployable digital engineering environment that have been built to the most frequent / probably software tools that USAF organizations can install with minimal support to stand-up a “Engineering Toolbox�. During the Phase I, Sabel proposes to validate the product-market fit between the proposed solution and a potential USAF stakeholder and create an instance of the DEE consisting of a digital document storage, search tool, and the universal engineering storefront hosted in a DoD compliant cloud.
