Concurrent Design Facility

A Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) is a collaborative workspace where multidisciplinary teams work together simultaneously on a project, such as designing a spacecraft or complex system. Instead of working in isolated parts and then combining them later, team members from different fields share ideas, models, and data in real-time. This approach speeds up the development process, identifies potential issues early, and improves overall design quality. Think of it as a shared workshop where experts collaborate closely to create innovative, efficient, and reliable solutions more quickly than traditional sequential methods.
