The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) hosts an annual event where military leaders and industry showcase unmanned systems technology. Previously, the event relied on manual, paper-based processes for organizing mission data and coordinating vendors, leading to miscommunication, data loss, and inefficiencies. To address these issues, AUVSI implemented the cloud-based MBSE tool, Innoslate, as a unified event management platform. Key features include: Centralized Data Repository: Vendors and organizers store schedules, test suites, and documents in one secure location. Standardized Ontology: A predefined structure ensures consistency across data. Cross-Project Integration: A master project centralizes vendor activities, with controlled visibility and real-time updates. Enhanced Visualization: Asset Diagrams let vendors create digital ConOps visuals for clarity and validation. Each vendor accesses their specific project, ensuring cloud security and intellectual property protection. Organizers use a master project to manage vendor data updated in real time. The customizable dashboard consolidates schedules, vendor details, and key documents. By centralizing data and streamlining processes, Innoslate minimized errors, improved decision-making, and ensured effective demonstrations. This implementation highlights the transformative impact of Systems Engineering tools on event management.
