The Defence Technology Strategy identifies modular and incremental certification as a key enabler to 'Through-Life Capability Management' as a means of reducing the impact and hence cost of re-certification of changes to systems. The Ministry of Defence has funded the Industrial Avionics Working Group, an industrial research consortium, to undertake a 'hot research' project investigating the production of a modular safety case (SC) for an aerospace software system currently under development. This paper provides feedback and lessons learned from this project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
