Integration of Safety Analysis into Model-Based Systems Engineering

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement of technology and an increased use of computer models to develop aircraft and aircraft systems. Unfortunately, safety assessment procedures have remained largely document-based, and thus have struggled to keep up with such rapid design changes. The objective of this project is to develop a solution that will enable safety assessment to be conducted more efficiently and reliably, and hence decreasing development time and cost. As a result, this will allow the partner organisation as well as other companies in the aerospace industry to deliver safer systems, and ultimately producing safer aircraft.
