Technical Requirement

This document outlines the technical requirements for a tailored, private five-day CAMEO training course for up to 20 Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) Government employees. The training aims to enhance mission customer tasking by increasing the number of modeling-proficient analysts through customized baseline training. The course will cover advanced SysML concepts with hands-on exercises and culminate in a two-day Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Lab. The training is intended to be delivered off-site at the University of Mary Washington/Dahlgren Campus. The requirement may extend for multiple years, with a base year and two option years.

• A five-day course focusing on SysML, starting with blocks, including practical hands-on exercises after each module.

• Designed for individuals with a strong systems engineering background and existing SysML/CAMEO knowledge.

• Does not cover the MagicGrid framework.

• Culminates in a 2-day MBSE Lab.

• Custom-developed course material based on provided use cases, datasets, and models.

• Basic topics include Block Definition Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, State Machine Diagrams, Requirements Diagrams, Tailored Use Case Diagrams, Constraints and Parametric Diagrams, Cross Cutting Relationships and Model Analysis, and Developing Concept, Logical, and Physical Models.

• Specific use-case examples for training include creating stereotypes, using sub-system blocks, matching blocks to requirements, sending messages between systems, identifying interfaces, creating simulations with GUIs, modeling organizational structure, customizing classification tools, and integrating external simulation tools.

• Vendor must procure the training room, computer systems/licensing, and a fully configured training environment.
