The intent is to provide an IVHM system that can robustly report the degradation of a given
HM-1 Integrated Vehicle Health Management Committee
The importance of reliability in design engineering has significantly grown since the early 1960’s. Competition has been a primary driver in this growth. The three realities of competition today are: world class quality and reliability, cost-effectiveness, and fast time-to-market. Formerly, companies could effectively compete if they could achieve at least two of these features in their products and product development processes, often at the expense of the third. However, customers today, whether military, aerospace, or commercial, have been sensitized to a higher level of expectation and demand products that are highly reliable, yet affordable. Product development practices are shifting in response to this higher level of expectation. Today, there is seldom time, or necessary resources to extensively test, analyze, and fix to achieve high quality and reliability. It is also true that the rapid growth in technology prevents the accumulation of historical data on the field performance

G-41 Reliability
SAE JA6097 (“Using a System Reliability Model to Optimize Maintenance”) shows how to determine which maintenance to perform on a system when that system requires corrective maintenance to achieve the lowest long-term operating cost. While this document may focus on applications to Jet Engines and Aircraft, this methodology could be applied to nearly any type of system. However, it would be most effective for systems that are tightly integrated, where a failure in any part of the system causes the entire system to go off-line, and the process of accessing a failed component can require additional maintenance on other unrelated components.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides recommended guidelines and best practices for implementing a supportability program to ensure that software is supportable throughout its life cycle. This Implementation Guide is the companion to the Software Supportability Program Standard, SAE JA1004, that describes, within a Plan-Case framework, what software supportability performance requirements are necessary. This document has general applicability to all sectors of industry and commerce and to all types of equipment whose functionality is to some degree implemented via software. It is intended to be guidance for business purposes and should be applied when it provides a value-added basis for the business aspects of development, use, and sustainment of support-critical software. Applicability of specific recommended practices will depend on the support-significance of the software, application domain, and life cycle stage of the software.

Truck and Bus Windshield Wipers and Climate Control Comm
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides criteria for the design, installation, operation, and training aspects of head-up display (HUD) systems in transport category aircraft, with emphasis on pilot interface and operational requirements. The recommendations apply to permanently installed (including stowable) HUDs that display primary flight information, including those integrating enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) imagery. The intent is to ensure HUDs are designed and used in a manner that improves pilot situational awareness and flight technical performance across all phases of flight, up to and including low-visibility operations. While technical design standards (optical performance, hardware specs, etc.) are defined in documents like ARP5288 and AS8055, this document focuses on pilot usage considerations and human factors. HUD systems addressed here are typically designed to support a fail-passive operational concept applicable to Category III instrument approach

It is the intent of this document to provide standard tests that will allow for the determination of energy consumption and range for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) based on the federal test procedure (FTP) using the urban dynamometer driving cycle (UDDS) and the highway fuel economy driving schedule (HFEDS) and provide a flexible testing methodology that is capable of accommodating additional test cycles as needed. Additionally, this SAE Recommended Practice provides five-cycle testing guidelines for vehicles performing supplementary testing on the US06, SC03, and cold FTP procedures. Realistic alternatives should be allowed for new technology. Evaluations are based on the total vehicle system’s performance and not on subsystems apart from the vehicle.

A-20B Exterior Lighting Committee
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes methods and identifies opportunities to sample used powder feedstock circulating within closed loop equipment of an additive manufacturing (AM) process for the purpose of showing conformance to a powder specification. Powder within the entirety of closed loop equipment cannot be represented by sampling and testing of discrete, in-process lots. Because powder processing (i.e., reconditioning, conveyance, and storage) is asynchronous with a build cycle, individual samples and their associated tests do not represent the totality of powder committed to a machine. Powder consumed as part of an individual build cycle may only represent a subset of feedstock in circulation within such equipment. Therefore, regular testing to substantiate conformance to a powder specification is required to assert conforming feedstock was consumed during individual build cycles of the AM workflow to fabricate parts or preforms. Operation of some

Cooling Systems Standards Committee
The thermocouple design recommended herein is presented as one for which the correction to the observed emf, because of thermal conduction along the stem and wires, is within the limits presented in the accompanying figure. On referring to the figure, it is seen that no restriction is placed upon the diameter of the thermocouple or stem, and the longitudinal dimensions are expressed in terms of wire and stem diameters. The type of stem, such as packed ceramic stock, refractory insulating tubing, etc., also is left open to choice. Thus the sizes of wires and supporting stems may be varied over wide ranges to match particular requirements where conduction errors are to be limited or controlled.
E-32 Aerospace Propulsion Systems Health Management
The process detailed within this document is generic and applies to the entire end-to-end health management capability, covering both on-board and on-ground elements, in both commercial and military applications throughout their lifecycle. This ARP addresses a gap in guidance related to usage of ground-based health management equipment for airworthiness credit, ensuring a level of integrity commensurate with the potential aircraft-level consequences of the relevant failure conditions. The practical application of this standardized process is detailed in the form of a checklist. The on-board elements described here are typically the source of the data acquisition used for off-board analysis. The on-board aspects relating to airworthiness and/or safety of flight, e.g., pilot notification, are addressed by existing guidance and policy documents. If a proposed health management capability for airworthiness credit involves modification of the on-board systems, the substantiation of those

This document provides guidance to using Rust in critical and safety-related software. The document summarizes how the usage of Rust supports in arguing safety according to ISO 26262 or RTCA DO-178C combined with RTCA DO-332. Cybersecurity best practices are referenced as these requirements largely overlap with those implemented for safety. As the Rust language is still evolving, this document targets the 2021 and 2024 editions of the language. Older or newer editions might require additional or changed rules and guidelines. Generally, the newest available edition of the language should be selected as newer editions remove ambiguities and outdated parts from the language.
