Up to now, the reliability achieved by COTS components was largely sufficient for avionics, in terms of failure rate as well as time to failure. With the implementation of new and more integrated tech....
Improving the verification and certification process of the high lift system by introduction of virtual testing is one of the approaches to counter the challenges related to testing of future aircraft....
In the development process, the test phase is considered the most important challenge for designers of safety critical avionic systems found in modern helicopters. Indeed, these Test Systems often ope....
One of the current trends in aircraft system design is a shift from federated/centralized architectures towards a more distributed approach. The increased use of distributed processing in critical rea....
The present work aims at the reduction of transmission delay at the level of AFDX ES (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet End-Systems). To this end, two approaches, namely Network Calculus and resp....
A significant step is achieved on the flight control actuation system toward the more electrical aircraft through the Airbus A380, A400M and the A350 development phase ongoing. The A380/A400M/A350 fea....
The Coriolis Vibrating Gyros technologies are now reaching a good level of maturity for a wide range of applications including the most demanding aerospace ones. Those applications include stabilizati....
In the frame of the COVADIS project (flight control with distributed intelligence and systems integration) supported by the DPAC and where Airbus and Sagem are partners, an electromechanical actuator ....
The design of complex integrated systems and avionics architectures relies on the system architect's capability to manage key system interfaces, and share computing and networking resources. The capab....
Use of airborne high resolution digital sensor imagery is ever increasing. Color HDTV, infrared cameras and radar are examples of such sensors. And they are becoming increasingly used for mission purp....
First generation of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), currently onboard in aircraft type Airbus A380, A400M, or designed for Airbus A350, and whose principle was initially to introduce some common pr....
The SCARLETT European Research Project has the goal to define, develop and validate the concepts of the next generation of IMA (IMA2G). Enhanced File Management capability is central to support next g....
Simulation of avionics equipment is essential due to the complex nature of its development and integration process. Throughout the development process, executable component models are used to demonstr....
Development for the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) platform is complex owing to the variety of equipment, vendors and non-uniform tools. The development should be simplified by a model-based harmon....
This article deals with performance verifications applied to architecture models of real-time embedded systems. We focus on models that can be verified with the real-time scheduling theory. To perform....
The ARINC 661 standard [1] defines a Cockpit Display System (CDS) interface intended for all types of aircrafts installations. This paper presents an integrated solution based on Commercial Off-The-Sh....
This paper presents the SCADE System™ product line for systems modeling and generation based on the SysML standard and the Eclipse Papyrus open source technology. SCADE System has been developed in th....
The System Architecture Virtual Integration (SAVI) program is a collaboration of industry, government, and academic organizations within the Aerospace Vehicle System Institute (AVSI) with the goal of ....
As a result of recommendation from the Augustine Panel, the direction for Human Space Flight has been altered from the original plan referred to as Constellation. NASA's Human Exploration Framework Te....
The NASA Robotic Lunar Lander Development Project is a joint effort between NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) to create a new ge....
