1. Tailored to HER complexity: the current state-of-the-art digitalization techniques target conventional aircraft configurations and the associated limitations put at risk the 2035 HER Entry-Into-Service (EIS) target. The ODE4HERA project aims to be the first to deliver a comprehensive and industry-ready platform tailored to the unprecedented level of complexity of HER configurations. This is achieved combining MBSE, MDO, SDM and PLM technologies and extending them with novel open interfaces, formats, smart model and data transformation technologies.
2. Unmatched level of interoperability: the ODE4HERA project aims to be the first to enable full interoperability through the entire HER value/supply chain: different commercial or open-source applications can be integrated in the platform to fulfil a specific task without the entire development process being completely dependent on a single proprietary platform. The injection of this new level of interoperability in the aviation industry and research environment is enabled by the open-access developments released by the ODE4HERA project:
a. the formal description of the implemented platform, the Solution-Neutral Architecture, is made publicly available in order to foster the adoption of the proposed approach through the entire HER value/supply chain;
b. the user interface as well as all the interfaces between the MBSE, MDO, IV&V, SDM and PLM capabilities and the Open Digital Platform are made publicly available.
c. the platform employs open standards and format for data and process definition already available, e.g. FMI, reqIF, SysML, CPACS, etc…, and investigate the needs and possibility to have additional standards tailored to HER applications.
3. Extended, consistent and traceable data continuity: the ODE4HERA project aims to be the first to seamlessly connect, trace and check complex models and map them to the huge amount of data generated throughout the entire HER development process by different organization using different tools. The MBSE-MDO connection is therefore upgraded to industry standards and extended to cover the interaction between MDO and V&V activities. The virtual verification and validation module is integrated in the overall process for improved virtual test definition and management, and to facilitate system modification after tests. The configuration management combined with the digital continuity and automated requirements verification will ensure the mandatory traceability supporting rigorous verification and validation enabling hybrid and virtual certification.
