Objective

With the increasing diversification of application requirements for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), traditional design methods centered on text-based documentation have revealed numerous limitations in practice, such as scattered design documents, difficulty in maintenance, and low iteration efficiency among systems. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a novel overall design methodology.

Method

In this study, the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodology was incorporated into the design process of UUVs and integrated with traditional design approaches to establish a model-driven design and verification framework. Using the M-Design collaborative research platform, graphical system modeling language (SysML) was employed to construct a comprehensive system model, including the requirements model, logical architecture model, and physical architecture model, thereby forming an integrated design framework. To further validate the feasibility of the framework, multi-system co-simulation technology was adopted, and a distributed simulation platform was developed to perform performance simulation and verification for typical mission scenarios of UUVs. Based on these efforts, a conceptual scheme for an agile design and verification prototype system has been proposed to support agile development requirements.

Results

The results demonstrate that the model-based design methodology can significantly improve the design efficiency and verification capability of UUVs, enabling a closed-loop development process from requirements definition to design implementation.

Conclusion

The proposed design methodology provides effective guidance for the design and specification verification of various manned and unmanned underwater platforms.
