Following
the Affordable Avionics (AfAv) workshop,
the ASSC has been involved in a review of the MoD's AfAv strategy. The
review identified a number of activities and work strands that
potentially have an impact on the AfAv strategy, including:
Technology
Demonstrator Programmes
Standards and interface
development
Research into the
certification
(re-certification) of
modular safety critical software and electronic components
A draft version of the findings which
provides
guidance on implementing the emerging policy has been produced. It
focuses on the establishment of management frameworks and the promotion
of the adoption of advanced avionics architectures that are both
affordable and receptive to technology insertion. Note that as the
final report is restricted it will not be made publicly
available
via the website.
