Object Management Group Approves Final Adoption of the SysML V2 Specification
Enables Next-Generation Systems Modeling
BOSTON, MA – July 21, 2025 – Today, the international technology standards organization Object Management Group® (OMG®) announced it approved the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) version 2.0 specification for final adoption along with the Kernel Modeling Language (KerML) specification version 1.0 that provides the semantic and syntactic foundation for SysML v2, and the Systems Modeling Application Programming Interface (API) and Services specification version 1.0 that enables SysML v2 models to interoperate with other models and tools.
"The effort to bring SysML v2 is the cumulative work of many OMG members over the last seven years. The result is a full-blown major release of the most widely used systems engineering standard," said Bill Hoffman, Chairman and CEO of OMG.
The specifications enable next-generation systems modeling with improved precision, expressiveness, consistency, usability, interoperability, and extensibility over SysML version 1. SysML v2 enables the modeling of increasingly complex systems as part of the evolving practice of model-based systems engineering. "This is an essential contribution to our strategic ambition to evolve systems engineering to a fully model-based discipline," said Ralf Hartmann, president of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).
The OMG Systems Modeling Community (SMC) is a vibrant community of users, tool vendors, and academia collaborating with INCOSE to develop practices to facilitate the transition from current practice to model-based systems engineering (MBSE) with SysML v2. "To take advantage of the rich features of the language and API, organizations are encouraged to develop a transition strategy and plan to adopt these technologies and leverage these practices," said Chris Scheiber, Chief Engineer at Lockheed Martin.
"SysML v2 includes concepts for modeling systems with deeply nested hierarchies of structure, behavior, requirements, and cross-cutting relationships. It also enables systems engineers to specify analysis and verification cases to ensure the systems of interest satisfy their requirements," said Sanford Friedenthal, Co-Chair of the Systems Modeling Community (SMC).
SysML v2 provides complementary textual and graphical representations of the underlying model, facilitating improved system understanding. A standard API and associated set of services to navigate, query, and update the model enables interoperability with other tools and software applications throughout the life cycle of system development. "The SMC is also developing a gold standard reference implementation and conformance test suite to evaluate tool conformance to the specifications," said Ed Seidewitz, Co-Chair of the Systems Modeling Community.
The SysML v2 specification is available on the OMG SysML specification page, and the reference implementation is available from the OMG® Systems Modeling Community. Refer to the SysML v2 website for additional information.
OMG specifications address middleware, modeling, and vertical domain frameworks. All OMG specifications are available from the website.
