Abstract
The primary purpose of this research was to determine benefits, limitations, and challenges involved in implementing a model-based product line engineering (MBPLE) approach to architecting, designing, and managing product variants of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Seasparrow Missile System (NSSMS) Program. A Systems Modeling Language architecture of the current NSSMS was developed in Cameo Enterprise Architecture with a solution space model representing the NSSMS domain architecture to a level of abstraction that captures NSSMS missiles, launchers, and fire control subsystems as the NSSMS product line variation points. Then, additional application architectures were drafted to show traceability to/from the domain architecture. Finally, the Evolved Seasparrow Missile Block I and Block II commonality was assessed, and additional NSSMS architecture variation points identified. This research provided a MBPLE architecture of the NSSMS for comparison to current stakeholder NSSMS architecture models, and the impacts of applying MBPLE methods to current NSSMS Program roles and responsibilities are discussed.
