Abstract

We report on our experience with enhancing the data-management component in the avionics software of the NH90 helicopter at Airbus Helicopters. We describe challenges regarding the evolution of avionics software by means of real-world evolution scenarios that arise in industrial practice. A key role plays a legally-binding certification process, called qualification, which is responsible for most of the development effort and cost. To reduce effort and cost, we propose a novel generative approach to develop qualifiable avionics software by combining model-based and product-line technology. Using this approach, we have already generated code that is running on the NH90 helicopter and that is in the process of replacing the current system code. Based on an interview with two professional developers at Airbus and an analysis of the software repository of the NH90, we systematically compare our approach with established development approaches in the avionics domain, in terms of implementation and qualification effort.

生成合格的航空电子软件:经验报告(E)

我们报告了我们在空中客车直升机NH90直升机航空电子软件中增强数据管理组件的经验。我们通过工业实践中出现的真实世界的发展场景来描述有关航空电子软件发展的挑战。一个关键的角色是具有法律约束力的认证过程，称为资格认证，它负责大部分的开发工作和成本。为了减少工作量和成本，我们提出了一种新的生成方法，将基于模型的技术与生产线技术相结合来开发合格的航空电子软件。使用这种方法，我们已经生成了在NH90直升机上运行的代码，并且正在替换当前的系统代码。基于对空中客车公司两位专业开发人员的采访和对NH90软件库的分析，我们系统地比较了我们的方法与航空电子领域现有的开发方法，在实施和认证方面的努力。
