Description
With the objective to rationalize its platform product lines among France and Italy, Thales Alenia Space had initiated the development of M.I.L.A platform product line, its European platform product line. This approach is fully in line with Standard platform initiative from ESA, also called “Common PF”. This new product line, named M.I.L.A, encompasses Copernicus, but also other institutional and commercial markets.
To master the double source concept and large variability between application missions, a specific approach has been put in place at MILA product line level to manage the variability and the scalability of the sub-systems.
Variability and scalability can be seen as:
• A function or equipment may be implemented or not,
• A function or equipment may be implemented with different sources,
• A function or equipment may be implemented with different performances,
• A function or equipment may be implemented with different sizing.
The presentation will focus on the selected approach:
• Tooled Product Line Engineering approach (Orthogonal Variability),
• Generic and instantiated specifications,
• Capitalization of the verification.
