The VFS Redstone Chapter is sponsoring a Technical Meeting on the Development, Affordability and Qualification of Complex Systems to be held as in-person event from Sept. 13-14, 2022 in Huntsville, Alabama.
To achieve the desired capabilities of next generation vertical lift, the modern aircraft has evolved into a highly interconnected assembly of disparate systems. Acquisition strategy now values experimentation, learning through prototypes, and speed of acquisition over traditional approaches. This meeting will investigate new standards, processes, methods and tools relevant to the qualification and fielding of complex systems applicable to future vertical lift. The complexity of systems continues to accelerate, while the assessment and qualification methods race to address the scale and interactive, non-determinisitic nature of the solutions. Leading experts from the government, academia, and industry will discuss the challenges of developing and qualifying affordable and safe complex systems.
Papers and technical briefings from all disciplines are invited – download the Call for Papers for detailed information. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Development of Complex Systems: Digital and MBS Engineering; Physics-based Modeling; Human Systems Engineering; eVTOL Applications; Data Sharing and Synthesis
- Qualification of Complex Systems: Substantiating MOSA Goals; Software and Architecture Implementation; Verification, Validation, Accredition, Certification Methods
