System Of Systems Modeling for Urban Air Mobility Concept

The exploration of Systems of Systems (SoS) modeling using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an ongoing area of research, wherein researchers are actively investigating various frameworks and languages suitable for initiating SoS modeling. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) represents a novel approach to urban transportation, integrating multiple systems and stakeholders to enable on-demand, environment friendly, efficient, and sustainable air travel within cities. International organizations have dedicated significant efforts to develop a comprehensive Concept of Operation (ConOps) for UAM, aiming to define the UAM ecosystem and identify the supporting systems. While previous research was focused on defining the Urban Air System (UAS) using Systems Modeling Language (SysML), there remains a gap in capturing the ConOps for UAM as a System of Systems (SoS) using SysML. This study seeks to address this gap by utilizing the MagicGrid Framework for SoS modeling. © 2024 by BlueKei Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Permission granted to INCOSE to publish and use.
