In addition, this approach complements the International Council on Systems Engineering's (INCOSE) Space Systems Working Group's (SSWG) efforts to develop a CubeSat Reference Model. This approach could be applied to other satellite development efforts but the emphasis here is on CubeSats because of their historically high mission failure rate and the rapid growth in the number of these missions over the last few years. This paper describes an eight-step approach for defining the behaviors of CubeSats that begins with mission requirements and ends with a functional architecture modeled as an activity hierarchy using the Object Management Group's (OMG) Systems Modeling Language (SysML). Finally, model-based systems engineering approach is proven to be effective compared with the traditional systems engineering methods for complex systems in aviation and defence industries.

Requirement management, system architecture management and model-based systems engineering processes are explained and applied of the case study. In the case study, the design of the helicopter automatic flight control system was realized by applying model-based design processes with integration of tools. In this paper, a model-based systems engineering approach is applied with a case study and the approach is found to be more efficient. In solving such problems, traditional systems engineering approach cannot provide an efficient solution.

Multidisciplinary study brings problems such as defining complex systems, ensuring communication between stakeholders, and common language among different design teams. Successfully performing a multidisciplinary complex system is one of the most challenging tasks of systems engineering. Systems engineering is the most important branch of engineering in interdisciplinary study.
