Description
After R&D studies on Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architecture and process, after definition and development of Time & Space Partitioning solutions with Hypervisors & Separation Kernels, the first space operational use cases are starting, with the need to maximize the integration of different functions & sensors software inside the same computer. Depending on the mission and the industrial organization, the different application software running in the different partitions could come from different companies or teams with different levels of maturity. As for aeronautical first IMA generation, in order to simplify the first partitioning deployments, only a unique criticality approach is applied on all software components and partitions in the same computer.
In future projects we are targeting to enlarge the solution with mixed criticality application software in the different partitions, taking also benefits from multicore processors solutions and also to consider, in some specific use cases, a set of data security needs and requirements.
The presentation will introduce the current status on recent R&D and first deployment, and will address stakes for the next step with mixed criticality systems.
