ARP4754A & ARP4761
The problem
Translating the intended aircraft function into proper system requirements is a critical step in properly capturing the intent that will flow down to the other steps of the process (ARP4754A). This system level work needs to be backed up by a proper safety assessment (ARP4761).
Performing this work in compliance with ARP4754A and ARP4761 provides the required confidence when presenting your system and software for government approved certification. Beyond the certification paper, applying ARP4754A and ARP4761 ensures a robust and sound system definition.
Our offering
CS is a world class leader in developing critical systems in compliance with ARP4761 and ARP4754A. CS can :
- Execute the various phases of the System Safety Assessment process
- Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) – Define Safety Objectives / Derive Requirements
- Outputs: Failures conditions, classification of failure condition per severity, safety requirements
- Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA) – Validate Safety Objectives / Requirements
- FTA of Failure conditions based on preliminary system architecture
- Outputs: fault tree analysis, identification of maximum probability / rates of hardware systems, DAL allocation for software systems
- System Safety Assessment (SSA) – Verify Safety Objectives / Requirements
- FMEA, FMES to show that the implemented design meets the safety requirements
- FTA updates based on implemented system
- System integration cross-check
- Outputs: certification maintenance requirements, compliance and traceability with FHA and PSSA requirements
- Perform various safety analysis techniques such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Common Cause Analysis (CCA)
- Develop, review and approve compliance evidence with respect to ARP4754A
- Develop requirement rationale – why is the requirement needed?
- Determine the requirement grouping – what level of evidence is required?
- Determine the validation method – Are we building the right system?
- Determine the verification method – Are we building the system right?
- Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) – Define Safety Objectives / Derive Requirements
- Perform the management of the system requirements and evidence
- Build a database management system using tools such as DOORS and Rectify
- Effectively document and track the required attributes
- Link the proper validation evidence database (Functional Analysis module, Reliability and Safety module)
