A top-down systems engineering process is defined in this paper. This process is driven by customer requirements and results in vehicle products that meet those requirements. The role and benefits of computer-based methods, e.g. computer-aided engineering (CAE), in effectively implementing this process is delineated. An approach that integrates function product requirements with physical realization, i.e. math-based synthesis, is introduced. Synthesis and analysis are shown to be key to define, design, and validate vehicles, vehicle subsystems and components, and to meet physical and functional requirements simultaneously. This involves the utilization of mathematical models at a variety of levels. Examples of using synthesis and analysis in vehicle development process are shown. The approach presented leads to shorter product development cycle at reduced cost, less prototype hardware builds, and superior quality for customers.
