本美国宇航局技术手册为建立美国宇航局数字工程采办框架提供了指导，该框架包括数据需求描述（DRD）和工作说明书（SOW）的合同语言，以支持数字工程环境（DEE）。DEE将使机构概念化、设计、开发、交付、运营和维持系统的方式现代化。DEE将有助于实现协同数字工程，同时将利益相关者与权威的分散数据源和模型无缝地集成到跨组织和学科的支持生命周期活动的概念到处置。 数字工程是一种集成的数字方法，它利用产品和系统数据的权威来源，以及跨所有产品相关学科协作的相关模型，支持从概念化到处置（前阶段A到F）的生命周期活动。DEE支持互联数据、人员、流程和技术，用于存储、访问、分析和可视化不断变化的系统数据和模型，以满足企业范围内利益相关者的需求。它提供了信息参考主题，如基于模型的定义（MBD）（带注释的三维CAD模型）、基于模型的分析（MBA）、基于模型的系统工程（MBSE）、模型- 基于企业（MBE）（帮助制造商在整个制造/支持企业中集成系统、服务、产品、过程和物流模型）、产品数据和生命周期管理（PDLM）以及通用指南，以适应实现数字工程产品/数据采集需求所需的方法，最大限度地提高模型表示。本NASA技术手册取代了NASA-HDBK-0008《NASA产品数据和生命周期管理（PDLM）手册》。美国宇航局认可。

This NASA Technical Handbook provides guidance for establishing NASA's digital engineering acquisition framework that includes Data Requirements Descriptions (DRDs) and contractual language for the Statement of Work (SOW) in support of a digital engineering environment (DEE). A DEE will modernize how the Agency conceptualizes, designs, develops, delivers, operates, and sustains systems. A DEE will help enable collaborative digital engineering while integrating stakeholders with authoritative decentralized sources of data and models seamlessly across organizations and disciplines supporting life-cycle activities from concept through disposal. Digital engineering is the integrated digital approach that utilizes authoritative sources for product and system data and associated models collaboratively across all product-involved disciplines supporting life-cycle activities from conceptualization through disposal (Pre-Phase A through F). A DEE enables the interconnected data, people, processes, and technology used to store, access, analyze, and visualize evolving systems' data and models to address the needs of enterprise-wide stakeholders. It provides information referencing topics such as model-based definitions (MBD) (annotated 3D CAD models), model-based analyses (MBA), model-based systems engineering (MBSE), model-based enterprise (MBE) (aiding manufacturers to integrate system, service, product, process, and logistics models across the manufacturing/support enterprise), product data and life-cycle management (PDLM), and general guidance to adapt the methods needed to implement digital engineering product/data acquisition requirements maximizing model representations. This NASA Technical Handbook supersedes NASA-HDBK-0008, NASA Product Data and Life-Cycle Management (PDLM) Handbook. NASA Endorsed.
