Description
Model-Based System Engineering applied to Avionics has recently became a reality in Thales Alenia Space, in addition to the already mature model-based engineering practices adopted on OBSW side. This was made possible thanks to the deployment of a mature and efficient tooling based on Melody Advance, the Thales toolset recently released as Open-source software under the name “Capella”. For the past 3 years, TAS engineers have been using the capabilities of this suitable tool together with appropriate methodologies to smoothly move from a document-centric process to a model-centric process, relying on documentation and code generation, and model-to-model transformations. To foster the deployment of this approach on actual programs, several R&D activities are on-going to extend the Model Based approach to all disciplines, from Product Line Engineering, to V&V activities, including FDIR, and also relationship with the Satellite Data Base and test & simulation bench development.
