Abstract

A modern weapon system has deployed much more software to control its capability than before. Therefore, the importance of software safety has been more recognize in the system safety by various stakeholders such as developers and users. In the future, software safety will be the most critical portion of the weapon system. Advanced countries in the defense area such as USA and European countries have already established the standards for software safety and forced to use them in deploying new products in the both commercial and defense areas. However, the Korean government and government agencies haven’t established any appropriate software safety standard yet. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new software safety process framework based on international software safety standard and the Korean acquisition process. This will be used to make the basic line of the software safety standard in Korea.
