Most European aircraft development programmes are undertaken by consortia of geographically distributed and culturally diverse industrial organisations. Specification of avionic systems, and their realisation, is undertaken by multiple system specifiers (airframe manufacturers) and multiple avionic system suppliers, using their own methods, standards and tools. The key objective of the SPIDERS project is to reduce the cost and timescale of this distributed specification process. The SPIDERS consortium includes four aircraft manufacturers: Aerospatiale, Eurocopter France, Daimler-Benz Aerospace Airbus, and British Aerospace Airbus. SPIDERS also includes two avionic systems suppliers, Smiths Industries Aerospace and Sextant Avionique. The programme has a central workpackage involving all of the partners, working towards definition of the New System Development Model. During the project, many improvements in processes, methods and tools were identified and evaluated. The "Current System Development Model" was first captured for each partner as a baseline. This was then harmonised and improvements incorporated to give a "New System Development Model".
-The main results include improved methods of multi-system management and consistency and completeness checking. Requirements have been produced for an inter system database for signal interface management. Also, requirements have been defined for a generic simulation tool, which would allow modules from project partners to be integrated into a system simulation. A range of improvements in the specification / realisation interface have also been defined and evaluated.
Many of the improvements were demonstrated and evaluated in the context of a project scenario. The project scenario involved specification of system requirements for some specific functions of an air transport fuel system, including the associated electrical power monitoring and human machine interface functions.
-The benefits arising from successful exploitation of the SPIDERS results will be considerable. The partners plan to use the results in defining procedure improvements, and tool requirements to give a more harmonised and effective distributed system development process.
