Options For Upgrading Legacy Avionics Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines a comprehensive set of options for upgrading legacy avionics systems in tactical aircraft. The options have been developed as part of study involving the avionics system of a current military aircraft. Multiple options are considered ranging from minor changes to the legacy system to complete replacement of computers and communications buses with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and new software. The pros and cons of each potential solution are described and guidelines are given for choosing the appropriate solution for a given program. The results of this study may be used when evaluating upgrade options for a wide range of embedded computer applications.

Certification Criteria for Emulation Technology in the Australian Defence Force Military Avionics Context
Emulation technology promises to provide a means of addressing obsolescence issues in legacy computer processors in the military avionics domains. It has also been suggested that such technology might apply to safety critical and safety related systems in these domains. Numerous companies either have developed or are developing software components that are capable of emulating different legacy ...
متن کاملMassively Reengineering Architectures With Automated Tools
Architectures are intended to be structuring principles for applications. However, with legacy systems they are often based on assumptions which have long since changed, and are now an obstacle. We believe that the fluidity of an architecture is a function of the tools available for massively modifying systems. In this talk, we will briefly sketch a tool, DMS, for making massive changes, and fo...

The paper discusses some practical examples of how Model Driven Architecture (MDA) technology is being applied to some vital issues in the development of avionics systems. A study primarily aimed at addressing the issue of Software Method and Tool obsolescence was conducted by a number of BAE Systems’ sites and York University. It investigated model transformation from legacy Teamwork1 models t...
متن کاملUpgrades to the Caution and Warning System of the Space Shuttle
During a Space Shuttle mission, astronauts are alerted to off-nominal conditions via a Caution and Warning System that often generates a myriad of auditory and visual alerts. A key component of this system is the Fault Summary display, which contains text messages describing the malfunctions. The display often becomes cluttered with extraneous messages, increasing the difficulty of diagnosing a...
