Areas of Expertise

KBR’s approach guides engineers, program managers, logisticians, cybersecurity, financial, contracting and other functional specialists to optimize acquisition, modernization, and sustainment outcomes, improving affordability, expediting capability delivery and decreasing risk.

Digital Maturity Assessments:

KBR uses industry and DoD benchmarks to assess digital maturity based on INCOSE-developed maturity models and DoD digital engineering strategies and guidance. KBR conducts detailed customer surveys and maturity assessments to identify and mitigate gaps.

Tailored Digital Engineering Training:

KBR designs and delivers tailored short courses derived from its DoD training experience, packaged in two 20-hour-long offerings. KBR integrates model-based systems engineering (MBSE) commercial tools and practices with relevant DoD weapon system acquisition and engineering processes. Hands-on training takes place in KBR’s MBSE training facility in Dayton, Ohio, and can be conducted onsite or virtually.

Digital Strategy Development:

KBR develops and delivers strategies to move DoD organizations from document-centric processes to digital models and data architectures. Tailored strategies address business processes, including cost estimating and risk management, and systems engineering artifacts, including digital twin, digital system models, integrated data environments, and advanced modeling and simulation toolsets.

Digital Engineering Implementation and Execution:

KBR uses validated MBSE practices and SysML-based toolsets, including the Dassault Cameo, Ansys Systems Tool Kit and ModelCenter, Phoenix, Moxie, and others to develop comprehensive concepts, designs, and cloud-based data ecosystems. KBR validates its models for accuracy, completeness, trust and reusability to become the authoritative source of truth from concept to disposal.
