Abstract In today's strategic defense environment, the rapid deployment and sustainment of aircraft fleet operations are critical to maintaining mission readiness. These operations require the optimization of multiple factors, including mission intensity, equipment configuration and reliability, spare parts logistics, maintenance quality, and personnel availability. INCOSE “Vision 2035” emphasizes the growing need for system resilience in the face of increasing complexity and highlights the evolving role of systems engineering in addressing sustainment and operational challenges through a holistic life cycle perspective. This paper introduces a framework and case study leveraging System of Systems (SoS) modeling and simulation to enhance sustainment and support readiness for aircraft fleet operations. By integrating Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), System Modeling Language (SysML), model execution, and stochastic simulations, the study demonstrates advanced “what‐if” analyses to optimize logistics flows across geographically dispersed partners. Additionally, the incorporation of real‐time data from logistics, maintenance and repair operations enhances virtual models, enabling efficient resource management and ensuring sustained mission readiness under diverse operational conditions.

Abstract Systems Engineering as a profession is failing to keep pace with the rapidly changing world situation, and we need to embrace enterprise transformation as a way to address these challenges. Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) processes and methods can provide the ways and means that are essential for helping us manage increasing complexity, as well as improve the quality and timeliness of key decisions regarding enterprise capabilities, and adjust the portfolios of programs, projects, systems, services, and organizations that underpin those capabilities. Enabling the cost‐effective and timely resolution of strategic and operational capability gaps and shortfalls will ensure more efficient use of limited time and resources and it will increase the likelihood of achieving enterprise goals and objectives. An ESE‐enabled enterprise is better able to conduct trades across competing concerns about strategy, policy, capability, operations, and implementation, in a similar way that traditional SE practice performs tradeoff analyses among the functions, performance, physical parameters and structure to help realize more effective systems. This approach will result in more robust business and mission analyses, more balanced plans and deliveries, and more highly integrated collections of systems, products, and services to rapidly meet evolving enterprise objectives. This paper explores the nature of Enterprise Systems Engineering, the various roles that ESE can play in enterprise transformation, and the value and application of Enterprise Architecture at the Enterprise level.

Abstract In the rapidly evolving domain of defense systems, operational success increasingly relies on the integration of complex subsystems to meet mission objectives. Defense organizations have embraced digital engineering and model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) to manage this complexity, focusing on modeling and simulation for comprehensive system assessments. However, challenges persist due to the lack of seamless interoperability between mission‐level models, system models, and high‐fidelity simulations. This often results in a disjointed toolchain and manual workarounds that hinder continuous verification and validation. This paper proposes a framework to connect mission models in Cameo (MagicDraw) with system models in MathWorks ® System Composer ™ and simulations in Simulink ® , enabling end‐to‐end traceability and real‐time feedback on system configurations.

ABSTRACT In contrast to the traditional compliance‐based approach to protecting space systems using the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), a trustworthy secure systems engineering approach as described in the NIST Special Publication 800‐160 is proposed as a viable and effective alternative. This paper discusses the issues and concerns with the traditional approach to cybersecurity and how engineering‐based approaches measurably improve security, allowing a greater return on investment for mission critical operational environments like those that support space missions. The paper will show that there are several facets to the cybersecurity problem that go beyond the technical to include culture, process, and policy, and explain why a change in strategy and approach is necessary to address the modern sophisticated cyber adversary operating in a world of highly complex and evolving systems. Insights from a project where a NIST SP 800‐160‐based engineering approach was applied to secure a space mission will be discussed. The early lessons not only illuminate the benefits of security systems engineering, but also the effect of culture, policy and process on building resilience into mission critical systems.

ABSTRACT The INCOSE Systems Security Working Group completed a 2‐year project to create a Guide to Security Needs and Requirements targeting both the systems engineering practitioner and the systems security practitioner to help them collaboratively define security needs and requirements that result in a secure system in operation. Starting with a set of anti‐patterns for security requirements, we identified existing tactics that have not produced secure systems in the operational environment. The team then identified an approach to perform needs‐oriented, loss‐driven, capability‐based analysis across the systems engineering activities. The result is a set of need statements capturing the stakeholder expectations concerning security and a set of functional requirements defining what the system must do to address those needs. Defining security as a functional requirement helps us design a system that can prepare for, defend against, and recover from adversity to achieve and sustain mission success.

ABSTRACT The decision analysis data model (DADM) formalizes an architecture for decision making in engineering. This article describes a DADM implementation called the armaments interoperability and integration framework (IoIF). IoIF is a configurable software framework that supports engineering analysis and decision‐making. IoIF uses linked data to facilitate data interoperability across mission, system, and discipline‐specific models. At its core is a semantic representation of a system and a formalized model of the system analysis process. This can be applied to decision analysis as described by DADM. Using IoIF and linked front ends, a user can incorporate engineering analyses into analytic workflows to aid in decision making.

ABSTRACT CubeSat missions are increasingly adopted by NewSpace actors despite their limited resources and fast‐paced development cycles, often leading to high failure rates. Traditional systems engineering standards such as ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and ECSS‐E‐ST‐10C are rarely applied because they are considered too complex for very small entities (VSEs). This paper introduces the CubeSat systems engineering framework (CuSEF), a lightweight yet rigorous framework tailored for CubeSat class IV/V missions. CuSEF adapts ISO 29110 as a structural foundation and incorporates selected ECSS requirements to ensure mission reliability. The framework combines a simplified lifecycle model with model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) practices and leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate tasks such as requirements drafting and test case generation. Early application of CuSEF demonstrates improvements in cost, schedule, and robustness without compromising agility. Future work includes large‐scale validation across diverse CubeSat teams and enhanced integration of digital continuity and AI‐driven design optimization.

Abstract Through this grounded theory study, the authors present the model for advancing professions (MAP) through advocacy, which identifies how counseling‐related professional organizations develop, implement, assess, and sustain public policy and advocacy initiatives, grounded in 11 participants’ experiences across six professional associations. Although previous models supported the work of individual advocacy within the field of counseling, the MAP through advocacy provides a clear and robust associational infrastructure and a set of best practices to guide counseling organizations in public policy and advocacy initiatives that advance the profession. Implications for the counseling profession and how the model can inform and enhance the mission of the ACA, and its divisions, regions, and state organizations are discussed.

Abstract The field of child and adolescent mental health research is currently undergoing important shifts. In line with its mission to support accessible child mental health science for all, JCPP Advances has included 12 studies in its June 2025 issue, eight of which are presented in this editorial. These articles reflect how recent changes are influencing research in the field. These include the adoption of transdiagnostic frameworks to better understand shared mechanisms across diagnostic categories, and the growing use of participatory research to involve children, young people, and families in the design of assessments and interventions. The highlighted papers examine emotion regulation in autism, longitudinal pathways to psychopathology, the role of family dynamics and prosocial behaviours, and the development of accessible, inclusive tools and interventions. Together, they showcase how the field is evolving to become more developmentally informed, inclusive, and responsive to the real‐world needs of young people and their support networks.
