Abstract

In recent years, software has grown in size and software safety incidents have also increased. Guidelines and Methods for Conducting the Safety Assessment Process on Civil Airborne Systems and Equipment (ARP4761) is an aerospace recommended practice from SAE International, it provides a safety assessment process of the system to solve the safety problem of the system. In ARP4761, the process FHA and FTA determine the software development level based on the software development standard (such as DO-178C) and safety reviewer thought that the software is safe as long as it's development processes are guided by software development standards. However, increasing airborne software scale is causing more and more software safety problems and the development standard of software can't guarantee that there is no safety problem in software. It is especially important to analyze the safety of the software. This paper presents the application method of FMEA in software safety analysis based on ARP4761 and improves the software safety evaluation of ARP4761.
