At the end of the project, the partners have successfully implemented their solutions in the Thales test environment. Although it is still too early to estimate whether Thales has achieved the overall project objective, they acknowledge satisfaction with the overall results of the project.
To achieve this result, the following work has been addressed by the partners:
• CGX AERO has developed in close collaboration with Thales, a Test Generator Module (allowing the configuration, organization and follow-up of the test campaigns), a Test Running Module (integrating a simulation engine based on different Virtual Pilot typologies) and a module for “in-live” analysis of simulation data (based on a set of rules, on comparisons with reference data obtained by automated computation, or on statistical metrics). The Virtual Pilot allows to address determined objectives on the FMS such as evaluating the accuracy, stability and robustness of the predictions but also confirming non-regression in the software.
• SCALIAN has developed the Data Science Studio, a platform integrating multiple storage instances (simulation data, pre-analysis data, analysis models, analysis results, docker images), a platform administration module and a module for analyzing the data produced by the test running module. The platform is based on a micro-service architecture, allowing a high scalability of the solution, and the re-learning of models, or the addition of new analysis services.
The Data Science studio does not completely give the expected results regarding analysis capabilities but some anomalies are well detected in trajectories computed by the FMS on kerosene consumption for example (a first step is reached in automatic trajectories analysis). The gap between the expected result and the one obtained is due to the complexity of the data and the field of use, however the analysis modules implemented in the Data Science Studio have enabled Thales to orientate itself in the direction of work to be conducted in the near future.
To date, we foresee the following channels to communicate on project’s results:
• Publication of the official text by the JU (Clean Sky 2 Journalist interview)
• Press release, at the initiative of SCALIAN's press department
• Joint communication on events in webinar format by SCALIAN
• CGX AERO YouTube channel supporting a video promoting R&D activities and mentioning FIVER associated to a post on LinkedIn
• Update of Consortium partners web site with project results post
Potential further actions may be proposed after consultation with each other's trade authorities.
