Within safety and security critical systems, a measure of sufficient test is Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC). Constructing a sufficient set of test cases in order to achieve this MC/DC metric requires considerable time and expense and often delays project acceptance and commercial release. We propose to develop a mechanism for the automatic p...

This 5-month collaborative feasibility study will identify potential cyber and safety vulnerabilities with current small boat (<150 kW) electric propulsion and control technologies and then develop a roadmap which outlines tools and techniques to assess and address these vulnerabilities going forward. This is important work to allow the scaling of decarbo...

Within aerospace and other industries, it is widely recognised that poor requirements are the root cause of cost overruns in systems development and, in thankfully rare cases, accidents after a system has been deployed. The aim of this project is to significantly reduce the opportunity for error in writing system requirements thus reducing cost and helpin...

Demeter uses energy-harvesting, intelligent, uncrewed vehicles to provide a persistent, infrastructure-independent subsea sensor data retrieval and analysis service. It is a compelling alternative to CAPEX-heavy fixed power and communication networks that would otherwise be required to support the widespread use of subsea sensors and systems for long-term...

Subsea inspection and surveys require highly accurate mapping to support activities such as site assessment, detailed inspection, and asset maintenance. Data collected can be leveraged through the advancements and application of underwater robotics and autonomous systems to support future industry grow. By improving data accuracy and utility, operational ...

The A2I2 project have been developing untethered, underwater robotic platforms which make unmanned operations the standard for inspection and light intervention tasks for physical infrastructure, primarily in the offshore and nuclear domains. We are developing small, hover-capable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) equipped with a novel visual mapping ...

HICLASS is a project to enable the delivery of the most complex software-intensive, safe and cyber-secure systems in the world. It is a strategic initiative to drive new technologies and best-practice throughout the UK aerospace supply chain, enabling the UK to affordably develop systems for the growing aircraft and avionics market expected over the next ...

Underwater robots are increasingly utilised for commercial and scientific applications to make measurements and interact with the underwater environment. The A2I2 (Autonomous Aquatic Inspection and Intervention) robots will operate in hazardous underwater environments, for offshore renewables, oil and gas, and nuclear applications. Two specific interventi...

Enhancing Safety, Reliability and Airworthiness of BVLOS Autonomous UAV operations is a critical element in the development of technology which will allow the safe, routine use of UAV (Drone) technology in the civil environment. The project seeks to bridge the gap between the unmanned and manned aerospace domains, combining the structured approach to "cer...

SECT-AIR’s aims are to develop strategies for the UK high integrity software industry to significantly lower development costs and to scope a UK aerospace software centre-of excellence to maintain these strategies in the future. SECT-AIR plans to define processes and technologies that will make a step change reduction to software development costs; gain a...
