Function Specifications for the A-7E Function Driver Module.

Abstract

As part of the experimental redesign of the flight software for the Navy's A-7E aircraft, software modules were designed to encapsulate the characteristics of the behavioral requirements of the system. The purpose of these Function Driver modules is to allow the remainder of the software to remain unchanged when the required system behavior is modified without associated hardware changes. This document specifies the behavior of the system without regard to specific hardware devices. This report contains an explanation of the standard organization of each functional description, a description of the review procedures, specifications for all of the functional aspects of the A-7E software, and a set of indices and cross-references to help integrate this module with the rest of the system. As well as serving as development and maintenance documentation for the A-7E redesign, this document is intended to serve as a model for other people interested in applying our documentation and structuring techniques to other software projects.
