Applying ACVIP for Verification by Analysis during Airworthiness Qualification

Abstract

Airworthiness qualification costs continue to rise, because with increased use of software, there is a corresponding increase in software integration failures. To counter this trend, the Army has embraced the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy and created the Architecture-Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP) to detect integration defects early. Airworthiness authorities rely on Verification by Analysis (VbA) to detect defects prior to testing. ACVIP enhances VbA with: Predictive analysis using standardized meaning; Continuous assessment against an authoritative source of truth (model); and Complementary analyses that validate target analysis assumptions.
