Abstract
In order to optimise maintenance and increase safety, the Royal Netherlands Navy initiated the development of a multi-channel on-board data acquisition system for its Lynx helicopters. This AIDA (Automatic In-flight Data Acquisition) system records usage and loads data on main rotor, engines and airframe. We used refinement in combination with model checking to arrive at a formally verified prototype implementation of the AIDA system, starting from the functional requirements.
This research was carried out in the framework of the KTV-FM project funded by the Dutch Ministry of Defense under the order #726/1/00301.
