For each phase of the system life cycle from feasibility to disposal/reuse The approaches are adapted on the one hand according to the customer requirements, on the other hand relating to the state of the art for technical issues and possibly to the compliance to prescriptive norms. Besides typical safety and vulnerability assessment to drive system requirements , independent verification and validation can be applied to projects assuring functional requirements compliance as well as required QoS attributes.<br></p> | <p style="text-align:justify;">The unit is in charge of:</p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right:0px;"><p>1) supporting internal (CIRA) projects and external projects by: </p><ul><li>risk assessment and impact analysis for new system concepts and/or new technologies (verus cost efficiency,environment, safety, security,social acceptance,…);<br></li><li>RAMSS (reliability, availability, maintainability, safety and security)analysis: system safety assessment, risk analysis, independent verification and validation, SWAT analysis, FMECA, Fault tree/event tree analysis,…<br></li><li>definition and implementation (agreed with: ENAC, EASA) certification strategy and related steps (PTF, DO compliance assurance,…airworthiness…).<br></li><li>definition and implementation of approaches for QoS compliance (cost efficiency, environment, safety, security,social acceptance,…)<br></li><li>definition,application, validation of methodologies to analyze research impact (safety, security, competitiveness, cost efficiency, , public acceptance….)<br></li></ul><p>2) methods and solutions on formal methods, risks due to interdependence and unexpected events, liability allocation, real time risk management, Integrated System Health Management (ISHM), Mission Management paradigms, Systems Interoperability.</p></blockquote><p>The Unit collaborates with national and international entities: universities, EREA Research centers, Eurocontrol, Airbus, Thales, civil Aviation Authorities (Enac,Enav, CAAUK, EASA),airports within European funded initiatives, with masters and training activities, in dissemination initiatives and as participant in international organizations: GARTEUR.
