Digital Engineering Solutions

Modernizing mission capabilities at the speed of need

Advanced and integrated enterprise capabilities are more mission-critical than ever—and bringing them online can be incredibly complex. As potential adversaries pursue cutting-edge capabilities, they face fewer regulations and take greater risks. Digital engineering-enabled mission systems engineering is a way to modernize fast, efficiently, and with the end user in mind.

It isn’t a frontier anymore

Complex, integrated hardware and software systems for satellites, aircraft, and C5ISR systems are critical to the work of sailors, soldiers, airmen, agents, officers, and first responders. Yet, as technology accelerates, acquisition timelines for mission systems extend too long, resulting in deployed operational systems that become outdated almost immediately.

Deloitte’s Digital Engineering offering helps government organizations define, design, develop, acquire, deploy, and sustain capabilities. We combine traditional systems engineering capabilities with our strengths in modernization, strategy, and risk analysis. This allows us to create innovative digital engineering concepts and pinpoint leading practices that achieve mission success to improve national security and the safety of our operators.

Specialty areas

Digital Ecosystem

As clients mandate Digital Engineering solutions (per DoDI 5000.97) and organizations focus on data-driven decision-making, many are “levelling up” with decision-driven modeling to streamline engineering activities and digitally transform to a Model-Based Enterprise. The Model-Based Enterprise is captured in a System of Systems Architecture model to deliver the right capabilities to meet the mission by aligning and standardizing services, interfaces, and data exchanges. This approach enables modularity and scalability to rapidly deliver value through outcome-based Digital Threads.

MBSE

Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), enabled by the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), transforms processes across a digital enterprise. It reduces complexity and the need for paperwork, creating a digital representation of a system, all while accommodating tightening budgets and schedules. Our use of a common “system model,” accessible by all stakeholders, enables support analysis and assessment throughout the life cycle while offering the potential to transform the engineering process.

C5ISR

C5ISR is a network of platforms, sensors, communication nodes, and decision aids that effectively connects operators with Mission Systems. The capability provides critical decision-making intelligence and allows security forces to sense, share, collaborate and act with greater speed and assurance. Our capabilities and strategic alliances positions Deloitte to effectively deliver these large-scale mission critical efforts.

HSI

Deloitte’s Human Systems Integration capability focuses intently on the development of requirements that integrate humans into comprehensive technical systems. In doing so, HSI provides specific measurements for human optimization across numerous domain spaces. This technical approach blends cognitive psychology and engineering practices. Through technical analysis and requirements development in seven interrelated domains (human factors, manpower, personnel, training, health and safety, survivability, and habitability), we help realize full system potential and add value to the areas of innovation, analytics, user experience, and engineering.

A different approach for different results

Digital Engineering allows government organizations to deploy mission solutions faster and more efficiently. But there’s more to it than that. Unique to our method, we focus on the whole ecosystem of the acquisition and development lifecycle—from culture to organization transformation to policy.

We continuously invest in technology and solutions to make our systems engineering tools and processes more effective and efficient. Our cutting-edge digital engineering offerings, which utilize digital engineering approaches, are tailored to an organization’s specific requirements to field new mission-critical capabilities faster and with reduced costs.

Looking beyond our offerings, our people are our greatest differentiator. Our culture and track record attract top talent, and our DE community is continually expanding as we develop our perspectives through a diverse set of practitioners with competencies in technology, strategy, and human capital. Based on decades of experience in the defense sector, our ties to past and present industry experts allow us to draw from tacit knowledge that educate our people and drive our mission-tailored solutions. Our people bring their fluency in industry-leading tools to all aspects of their work.

Digital Engineering can help shorten timelines and create higher confidence that systems will satisfy the needs they’re designed to fulfill.
