description Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has gained significant attention from both industry and academia as an effective approach to managing product complexity. Despite its progress, current MBSE concepts, tools, languages, and methodologies face notable challenges in industrial applications, particularly in addressing design variability, ensuring model consistency, and enhancing operational efficiency. Based on the authors’ industry observations and literature analysis, this paper identifies the primary limitations of traditional MBSE, and introduces MBSE 2.0, a next-generation evolution characterized by comprehensive, integrated, and intelligent features. Key enabling technologies, such as model governance, integrated design methods, and AI-enhanced system design, are explored in detail. Additionally, several preliminary explorations were introduced under the guidance of the MBSE 2.0 philosophy. This study introduces the MBSE 2.0 concept to stimulate discussion and guide future efforts in academia and industry, emphasizing key advancements and highlighting several key and pressing perspectives to alleviate current limitations in industrial practice.
