Description
The AOCS engineers widely use model-based simulation tools for the definition and pre-validation of the algorithms to be implemented in the SW code. Introduction of Automated Code Generation tools have added new constraints and modified the development process and the roles between the AOCS engineers and the SW engineers. The classical V-cycle does not answer all items of this new approach. Model-based design has been introduced to provide a new methodology for the design and validation of an embedded software. This presentation will present the return of experience of Thales Alenia Space France (TAS-F) on this topic (Spirale, Sentinel-3, Göktürk) with a dedicated focus on the new roles, constraints and responsibility between AOCS team and SW team. The discussion will end with the perspectives of TAS-F on integrating a complete model-based design and validation process.
