Virtual Development and Integration of Advanced Aerospace Systems: Alenia Aeronautics Experience
Abstract
Alenia Aeronautica has gained a solid and consolidated experience in this field within a number of past and ongoing programs. This paper will describe this experience, and will tackle the methods which are used and planned to be used, so to cross-transfer the above experience to other military as well as civilian programs. This document is organised as follows: a brief description of the Concurrent Engineering concept as used for developing aeronautical programmes is provided first. An illustration of tools presently used to implement the above concept is next, along with examples of its application with respect to some ongoing programs. Synthetic Environment development is then introduced; current activities taking place at the Flight Simulation Department aimed at developing a kernel simulation Synthetic Environment are described. Finally the path for joint Concurrent Engineering and Synthetic Environment development is explored. Three noteworthy but more general projects in line with this vision are the participation in European funded projects on Concurrent Engineering, Distributed and Integrated Configuration Management Process and Synthetic Environment.
