Optimizing Systems Engineering Begins with Digital Transformation – The Future of Systems Engineering Ep. 4
Thanks to the introduction of new technologies and tools, paths to make systems engineering in aerospace and beyond more holistic are now open. Yet, some companies are still slow to adopt these kinds of approaches to systems engineering. Why is that, and what do companies need to ensure they get their return-on-investment?
In this episode of Taking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is back with Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy for Siemens, to conclude their exploration of the future of systems engineering. The key to building holistic systems engineering strategies, they say, lies in building a strong foundation in digital transformation.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why some companies struggle to adopt systems engineering strategies
The risks of not optimizing systems engineering across the product lifecycle
How the comprehensive digital twin provides the foundation for holistic systems engineering
How systems engineering affects all engineers in a project
Learn how Siemens technology can help your organization improve cross domain collaboration, visibility and integration here.

Upgrading Aerospace System Architectures with AI and SysML v2 – The Future of Systems Engineering Ep. 3
To tackle rising complexity and keep new aircraft and spacecraft safe to fly, systems engineering strategies aerospace and defense needs to evolve. To ensure the successful integration of new software and electronics, they need to enable more cross-domain integration and collaboration between engineering domains. Fortunately, artificial intelligence and SysML v2 are the technologies that can bring this goal to fruition.
In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine, is joined again by Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy for Siemens, to continue their discussion of the future of systems engineering in A&D. Together, they hone in on the role of AI and SysML v2 in updating systems engineering and companies’ system architectures to meet the challenges facing the industry today.
In this episode, you will learn:
The importance of systems engineering to ensuring product safety
Where AI can improve systems engineering and engineers’ workflows
How SysML v2 is different from SysML v1
The benefits SysML v2 brings to A&D companies and their system architectures

The Rise of Software-Defined Aerospace – The Future of Systems Engineering Ep. 2
Software-defined products have been on the rise across industries, and aerospace and defense is no exception. Aircraft, rockets, and satellites today are integrated with cutting edge electronics and software, introducing a multitude of new functions and considerations. To account for them all, systems engineering in aerospace must become more holistic and allow for more interoperability between domains.
In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined again by Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy for Siemens. They continue their conversation from last time, discussing how new software-defined aircraft and spacecraft drive the need for holistic systems engineering, as well as what other industries can learn from the A&D industry’s experiences with systems engineering.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why systems engineering must change to accommodate software-defined aerospace products
Other factors in the space sector that necessitate holistic systems engineering
The merits of Tang
What systems engineering can look like in other industries and how they can learn from aerospace
Learn how Siemens technology can help your organization improve cross-domain collaboration, visibility and integration here.
Talking Aerospace Today would also like express condolences for the recent passing of Jim Lovell, commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which is heavily discussed in this series of episodes, and acknowledge his many contributions to manned spaceflight.
