The Netherlands has a strong presence in the high‐tech equipment industry sector with world‐wide renowned organizations. Systems engineering is a key capability that is well‐established in this sector. The industry now sees model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) as indispensable to bringing systems engineering capabilities to the next level. Despite this, MBSE is not a fully established practice in this sector as in other industries. ESI has initiated a study to understand the background of the sector's interest in MBSE, the challenges to address with MBSE, experiences with, and fit of current MBSE methodologies versus the characteristics of this sector. This article reports on the results of this study. It highlights innovation in MBSE to address the needs and characteristics of the high‐tech equipment industry.
