For MBDA, the goal of MBPLE is to reduce development time and cost without compromising product quality. A key component of the MBDA end-to-end model-based engineering methodology, which is based on a model-based approach and covers the entire product development from start to finish (end-to-end, is the MBPLE approach. Regarding the implementation of MBPLE at MBDA, various tools such as PTC pure::variants, IBM Rhapsody, and open-source Capella are used for MBSE. This chapter demonstrates how product line engineering techniques and strategies can work in synergy with MBSE. The importance of variation points, constraints, and the information model for an effective implementation of MBPLE is also highlighted. References Capella ( 2024 ).
