Advanced Software V&V for Civil Aviation and Autonomy

With the advances in high-computing platform (e.g., advanced graphical processing units or multi-core processors), computationally-intensive software techniques such as the ones used in artificial intelligence or formal methods have provided us with an opportunity to further increase safety in the aviation industry. Some of these techniques have facilitated building safety at design time, like in aircraft engines or software verification and validation, and others can introduce safety benefits during operations as long as we adapt our processes. In this talk, I will present how NASA is taking advantage of these new software techniques to build in safety at design time through advanced software verification and validation, which can be applied earlier and earlier in the design life cycle and thus help also reduce the cost of aviation assurance. I will then show how run-time techniques (such as runtime assurance or data analytics) offer us a chance to catch even more complex problems, even in the face of changing and unpredictable environments. These new techniques will be extremely useful as our aviation systems become more complex and more autonomous.

NASA ACES V&V Alignment Briefing

Regulations to establish operational and performance requirements for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are being developed by a consortium of government, industry and academic institutions. Those requirements will apply to the new detect and avoid (DAA) systems and other equipment necessary to integrate UAS with the National Airspace System (NAS) and are determined according to their contribution to the overall safety case for such an integration. This briefing focuses on providing an overview of the Airspace Concept Evaluation System (ACES) platform, review of detect-and-avoid models incorprated in ACES, sumamry of two planned ACES studies, and a way forward to impact the SC-228 VV plan.

V&V of ISHM software for space exploration

NASA has established a far-reaching and long-term program for robotic and manned exploration of the solar system, beginning with missions to the moon and Mars. Integrated System Health Management (ISHM) will be key to improving the reliability, operability and maintainability of many of the systems deployed in this endeavor.

SEE Test Report for Texas Instruments LMV7219 7 ns, 2.7 V to 5 V Comparator with Rail-to-Rail Output

The primary purpose of this testing is to characterize the Texas Instruments LMV7219 comparator for single-event latchup (SEL) susceptibility. These data will be used to assess the Single-Event Latchup (SEL) risk for the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA). A secondary goal is to assess the susceptibility of the comparator to single-event transients (SET) and other nondestructive Single-Event Effects (SEE).

SEE Test Report for Texas Instruments TLV5618 2.7-V to 5.5-V Low-Power Dual 12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter with Power Down

The primary purpose of this testing was to characterize the Texas Instruments TLV5618 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for single-event latchup (SEL) susceptibility. These data will be used to assess the SEL risk for the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA). A secondary goal is to assess the susceptibility of the DAC to single-event transients (SET), single-event upsets (SEU), and other nondestructive SEE.
