Abstract

The research motivation for model-based system-of-sestems Engineering (MBSoSE) is summarized. The current research progress and primary application areas of MBSoSE are reviewed, and the MBSoSE future development requirement is prospected. Secondly, the mainstream of techniques for current MBSoSE research and application are introduced from two aspects, the SoS architecture modeling and the SoSE process modeling. Finally, a research framework for multi-swarm intelligent SoSE is proposed under the background of intelligent unmanned combat application. The research requirement of MBSoSE is analyzed in detail, the research conception and developing strategy are presented from the viewpoint of both system-of-systems facet and swarm facet.
