Leidos will then deploy their work in the digital engineering ecosystem for the Mayhem team to utilize. The students will support the project by assembling elements of the MBSE environment. “Not only does this benefit the program directly, but it also creates a pipeline of incredible talent with real world experience for the defense industrial complex.” “The students will gain firsthand experience experimenting with DE/MBSE tools aiding in development of the virtual ecosystem that will ultimately be transitioned to a Leidos environment for implementation on the Mayhem program. “The University of Michigan will be a critical component to the Mayhem strategy,” operations manager for the Leidos Innovation Center Artie Mabbett said in a statement. The U-M students will contribute to the program by gaining experience via the school’s Model-Based Systems Engineering lab. The project will work on developing an air-breathing hypersonic weapons system. Technology company Leidos has announced it has added U-M as a partner on the $334 million Mayhem program awarded by the U.S.

ANN ARBOR – University of Michigan students in the school’s Aerospace Engineering program will soon be getting real-time experience on a multimillion dollar national defense project.
