NDIA Vendor Opportunity
1 NDIA Vendor Opportunity – Innoslate®
This document captures the responses to the specific questions are as part of the NDIA Vendor
Opportunity at the 2018 NDIA Systems Engineering Division Conference in Tampa, FL. SPEC Innovations
has been following the Digital Thread/Digital Twin initiative by DASD(SE) since its inception. The link
below shows an Innoslate® project which captured the Digital Thread Posters presented at the AIAA
SciTech Conference in January 2018. These posters has previously been shown at the 2017 NDIA SE
Division Conference. We have been analyzing these posters to determine how best to implement this
vision.

2 SPEC Innovations and Innoslate Background
Systems and Proposal Engineering Company, dba SPEC Innovations, is a woman-owned small business,
located in Manassas, VA (outside Washington, DC). It was founded in 1993. The company has worked on
major architecture and systems engineering projects for the DoD, DOE, and other government and
commercial organizations. Our website is www.specinnovations.com.
We began development of Innoslate in 2010, when we found it difficult to do the work we need to do
with the limited tools available at the time. Innoslate was first released in 2012 and is currently in
version 4.0 as a full lifecycle tool, with integrated Systems Engineering and Program Management
capabilities. It uses the open standard, Lifecycle Modeling Language (LML), as it's open ontology. It
currently supports users around the world. Innoslate is also available on NIPRNET, SIPRNET, and C2S, as
well as behind your own firewalls. You can learn more about Innoslate by going to our
website www.innoslate.com.
3 Demonstrate how the tool supports Digital Engineering. How does the
tool:
3.1 Support the development, integration, and/or curation of models?
Innoslate provides modeling capabilities across many languages/frameworks, including SysML, LML,
some UML, and some IDEF. It also provides the capability to create documents, with diagrams from the
tool embedded in the document and updated as those diagrams are updated.
