No longer optional for programs, digital engineering is central to accelerated fielding and adaptation of defense systems and capabilities against new, sophisticated and rapidly evolving threats. DE is now a necessity for how engineering activities are carried out, complex systems information is communicated, and computable data is leveraged, and SAIC has the prowess and experience to integrate DE to the maximum extent that your program requires.
SAIC is a respected industry leader in digital engineering. We were part of DOD's yearslong DE strategy formulation, and over the last few years we have proactively invested in enterprise infrastructure, resources and capabilities like our award-winning ReadyOne DE ecosystem. The groundwork we have laid for DE lets you start taking advantage of its broad-spectrum capabilities and benefits immediately.
SAIC's proven capabilities and solutions enable defense programs to meet DOD's mandate for DE compliance, mission effectiveness

The Phases of Successful Digital Engineering
DE Tools Federation (digital thread backbone)
RAPIDLY deployable DE ECosystem (REadyONE)
Digital Twin
Sustainment / model-based product support
Production and manufacturing
MOdeling, Simulation, analysis and prototyping
ENGINEERING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
Digital Architectures and Requirements ENgineering (DARE)
DE TOOLS FEDERATION
(DIGITAL THREAD BACKBONE)
The hub-and-spoke approach to connecting and managing data between systems development, engineering, manufacturing, production and sustainment maintains an authoritative source of truth for all program stakeholders and aligns activities to reduce ambiguity and errors. We enable an “any tool, any digital thread” approach that connects program data and preferred engineering and product lifecycle management applications, including commercially available tools.
RAPIDLY Deployable DE Ecosystem (ReadyOne)
ReadyOne provides digital engineering users anytime, anywhere, any-device access, via the web, to their applications and workloads hosted in our secure, cloud-based ecosystem. ReadyOne takes only days to stand up and is ready to use right away. A tailored set of engineering and product lifecycle management applications is integrated into a tool chain to make a complete pass through the systems program lifecycle.
Digital Twin
Digital twin ties real-world data to modeling and simulation artifacts to validate performance and continually monitor it, ensuring more accurate systems program decisions. Digital twin can also simulate future systems performance using the real-world data to inform maintenance and sustainment expectations or make systems optimization adjustments.
Sustainment / Model-based Product Support
Integrating maintenance and sustainment with the design process addresses the largest cost component of the systems lifecycle. Our model-based product support leverages design data to accelerate implementation of spares and maintenance activities as well as identification of needed upgrades to optimize systems performance.
Production
and Manufacturing
Digitally-driven production and manufacturing improves quality and consistency by connecting and aligning design data with manufacturing data as part of the model-centric approach. The digital thread extends to the production floor, linking traditional disconnected processes and data between engineering and production and reducing confusion and errors.
Modeling, Simulation, Analysis and Prototyping
Reducing development costs as well as timelines and risk, we use extended reality tools (augmented-, virtual- and mixed-reality) to visualize systems and complex interactions and iterate digitally instead of physically. We help improve stakeholder understanding of their systems and weed out design gaps and errors in optimizing solution performance.
ENGINEERING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
Enabling faster time-to-solution, our digital engineering approach efficiently executes the design process and matures designs with rapid computational iterations and trade studies. It connects models across the electrical/electronic, mechanical and software domains, as well as with the overall systems model, to ensure alignment with requirements.
DIGITAL ARCHITECTURES AND REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING (DARE)
DARE is a full digital solution for systems architectures and requirements creation as well as management, merging requirements from across the systems development program into an authoritative-source-of-truth data model. Accelerating timelines and reducing risks, it uses digital model-based systems engineering for rapid experimentation and iteration and is connected with downstream artifacts and systems development processes.
Transformation
Digital transformation and the benefits of digital engineering require an understanding of where you are and where you need to go. SAIC's digital engineers evaluate your unique situation and understand your readiness before developing a customized roadmap to transform your organization.
Ecosystem
Now that you have a roadmap, SAIC's digital engineers help you to architect, provision, install, configure and manage the right tools that fit your needs. With our ReadyOne DE ecosystem, we'll help you quickly stand up a tailored and digitally integrated set of engineering applications that includes best-of-breed offerings from the commercial market.
Execution
Once the ecosystem is in place, with tools and an environment, SAIC will help you do the DE work. We wrap your program in hyper care with systems development best practices and integrated processes via an authoritative-source-of-truth digital thread to ensure we consistently deliver the right systems outcomes for mission success.
Knowledge Management
SAIC trains and upskills your workforce at any stage of the digital transformation journey and captures data being collected for easy sharing, putting actionable information in the right place at the right time and in the right format for the right people.
SAIC DIGITAL ENGINEERING TRANSFORMS COMPLEX SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION FOR SUCCESS
Enforce Model-centric Design, Development and Sustainment

A model-based approach allow us to digitally represent systems from the time they are conceived all the way through the lifecycle to disposal. This provides opportunities to rapidly and efficiently experiment, prototype and take risks (virtually) early and often to make the best decisions possible.
SAIC Delivers
SAIC gives engineering organizations a model-centric systems lifecycle solution, from digital architecture and requirements engineering through our DARE offering, to engineering design and development, modeling and simulation, and on to verification and validation. In addition to performing additive manufacturing from the 3D data model using model-based definition, systems requirements and data are leveraged in our model-based product support in the sustainment phase. We have earned considerable industry credibility for our model-based systems engineering with our widely adopted Digital Engineering Validation Tool, which contains a style guide and validation rules to conduct consistent and mistake-free system modeling.
Collaborate through an Authoritative Source of Truth throughout the Product Lifecycle
