This steps will capture the different Satellite Navigation solutions, existing (GNSS, SBAS) or in development (LEO PNT, 5G / 6G.
and package them in term of components which can be instantiated in an MBSE modeler.
3)Architecture definition
This step aims at defining in the MBSE modeler candidate architectures for Satellite Navigation SoS which can be then assessed from a Multi-Criterion Optimisation point of view.
4) Multi-Criterion Optimisation
This step aims at building the gateways with different domains, while the MBSE architecture definition allows to manage in configuration the architecture
