The defense industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with increasing systems complexity. While working to overcome these challenges, even more importance will be put on systems engineers, as they facilitate successful system realization.The investigation provides insights into roles and competencies in the Norwegian defense industry and compares these findings with a similar study conducted within high-tech industries in the Netherlands. This comparison reveals similarities between the two countries. Furthermore, this study suggests that factors such as rapid growth, a young workforce, a broad variety of role titles, and organizational restructuring contribute to the difficulty in defining the role. To provide input in strengthening the role definition, this study compares current competency levels with the knowledge areas of the π-shaped model. It proposes developing a collective understanding of systems engineering to strengthen role definition and enhance competencies in areas such as life cycles and finance.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"31-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, achieving and sustaining this alignment can be challenging when generational and cultural differences shape how engineers communicate, interpret leadership, and collaborate in multidisciplinary environments. This paper examines how systems engineering leaders can foster shared understanding amid these generational and cultural dynamics. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates a global survey of nearly 200 systems engineers, semi-structured interviews with senior technical leaders, and interactive workshops with members of INCOSE's Technical Leadership Institute (TLI), the study explores how cultural norms and generational expectations influence collaboration, communication styles, and perceptions of leadership. The analysis is structured around four themes: foundational mindset, role of the leader, team dynamics, and technical conflict. Findings show that while cultural and generational diversity can create friction, they also enrich problem-solving and innovation when guided by inclusive leadership and psychological safety. The paper presents actionable guidance for leaders to align diverse perspectives, manage conflict constructively, and strengthen trust and collaboration across global teams. Limitations and future research opportunities are discussed.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"285-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aided Requirement Specification: A Case Study in the Aerospace Domain 辅助需求规范：航空航天领域的案例研究

{"title":"Aided Requirement Specification: A Case Study in the Aerospace Domain","authors":"Beatrice Melani, Antonello Diglio, Davide Fabbroni","doi":"10.1002/iis2.70130","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/iis2.70130","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents a method and a supporting tool designed to bridge the architecture definition process (and related visual modeling tools) with key requirements-related activities, particularly specification and validation. The method is based on a previous publication (Melani, Diglio, and Fabbroni, 2025) that presents the theoretical background supporting the method and the tool, but without providing a large-scale example to substantiate the method or to compare the new approach with existing ones. The proposed method creates a more integrated and consistent MBSE workflow, reducing possible mistakes and misalignments between the functional architecture and the requirements. In addition, validation checks such as syntactic correctness, consistency, and coverage checks help refine the set of requirements and ensure that it reflects the intended behavior of the system by alerting the user of missing scenarios and conflicting constraints. The case study chosen for this paper concerns part of the development of a Flight Control System (FCS) in Leonardo Helicopters Division. The comparison between the new approach and the document-based one is carried out on four core functions of FCS development: automatic altitude control, horizontal speed control (airspeed), heading control and control of horizontal position in hover. The comparison highlights how a structured and formal method for the writing and validation of requirements can sensibly improve the quality of the requirement set. In fact, sets of requirements produced using the method and the accompanying Aided Requirements Specification tool (ARS) are more structured than their document-based counterpart, more consistent and complete. The ability to perform an early validation on the requirements helps avoid costly reworkings that are unavoidable in those situations in which issues related to erroneous or incomplete requirements are spotted through testing during the design phase of the project.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"271-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Persistent misalignment between mission intent, enterprise behaviour, and system development arises from fragmented incentives, siloed optimisation, and contractual boundaries that restrict iteration and limit the ability to act on new insight.This paper introduces Mission and Business Engineering (MBE) as a meta-discipline for addressing these challenges. MBE integrates mission logic, enterprise structure, and system behaviour within an Architecture of Intent grounded in Fit–Form–Function. By treating the mission enterprise itself as a system-of-interest, MBE provides modelling constructs, decision mechanisms, and alignment structures for sustaining coherence across organisational boundaries, life cycles, and evolving mission contexts.The paper diagnoses systemic sources of mission–enterprise misalignment, explains why existing discipline-specific approaches are insufficient, presents the MBE meta-architecture and its three structural pillars, and outlines an illustrative implementation pathway. The result is a framework that complements, but extends beyond, ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and the DoD Mission Engineering Guide by helping practitioners engineer mission-coherent enterprises capable of delivering effective outcomes in complex environments.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"86-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper advances transdisciplinarity (TD) from an abstract concept to a guide for its practical application within systems engineering (SE). Drawing from systems science, general systemology and current SE practice, we 1) propose a guide that provides an epistemological and methodological bridge necessary to address the growing complexity of socio-technical systems, 2) examine the foundations of SE as an inherently transdisciplinary endeavor, 3) explore how General Systems Transdisciplinarity (GSTD) unifies systemic theories and methodologies, and 4) propose a framework that links the purpose, values and techniques of SE to transdisciplinary knowledge production. Finally, we discuss how adopting a “transdisciplinary attitude” — characterized by collaboration and purposeful learning — can transform SE education, workforce development, and leadership growth. By embracing our proposed framework and identifying the nature of the complex problem and the needed solution, we expect SEs to achieve elegant, sustainable solutions to complex problems while advancing the scientific foundation of SE practice and research.","PeriodicalId":100663,"journal":{"name":"INCOSE International Symposium","volume":"36 1","pages":"140-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148943326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
