What is it?

• Based on the Boeing MDM Application Development
  Environment, and the Raytheon device simulations.
• The application is a United Space Alliance
  project headed by the Advanced Development Group.
• Project was initiated to support procedure
  development within the Systems Division.

10
What is MADE?

• MADE is Flight Software developed to run external
  to the ISS hardware structure.
• It is the real flight software, it has all of the
  MDM software available. The main restriction is
  the capacity of the computer running the
  simulation.

11
What can MADE do?

• MADE can emulate all of the MDM flight software.
• MADE is extendable, it has a simulation builder.
  Models for any system can be built.
• Standard system comes with heartbeat generators
  for MDM RT devices to prevent the MDM failing due
  to bus failures. These do not provide RT
  functions, or re-active feedback.

12
What are the Raytheon Sims?

• All of the Raytheon simulations were developed
  for the Space Station Training Facility.
• The majority of the devices are available, with a
  high degree of fidelity. Several years of
  development have worked out many of the bugs.

13
IPVT Capabilities

• Currently IPVT is deployed for the MOD Systems
  division. It has all of the MDM CSCI running with
  the heartbeat simulations.
• The Raytheon simulations are not yet fully
  incorporated into the IPVT system. They are
  anticipated to be completed within the next 4-6
  months.
• Server deployment is anticipated within the next
  year.

14
Displays and Interfaces

• PCS displays, including APV.
• Currently a PCS is required.
• Near future, displays will be available from the
  server interface.

15
What will you need to run it?

• A PC with a BC/RT 1553 Card. A PCS attached to
  the 1553 card.
• Once server version is available, you will only
  need to be able to connect to the server.

16
What needs to be done?

• Build an uplink interface to the TIDE tool. Need
  a capability to load a file to a particular
  directory on the server.
• Build a telemetry interface to the TIDE tool and
  IPVT. Create an API to receive the telemetry
  packets from IPVT.
• Develop in TIDE, a monitor and feedback loop to
  enable rapid Test Driven Development
  (AGILE/Extreme). Displays built from telemetry in
  Bundles.

17
Additional Benefits

• Ability to drive simulation scenarios using
  Timeliner, for training Flight Controllers, with
  IPVT.
• Becomes a breeding ground for bundles. As Failure
  scenarios are developed to initiate training
  conditions, bundles can be developed to do the
  opposite. Test Driven Development.

18
Test Driven Development

• TDD is a new model for developing software. The
  general idea is that you do not write any code
  unless you fail a success criteria.
• Training failure scenarios provide the failures.
• Bundles are then written to counter the failures.
  
• A test script is generated as you move towards
  the script objective.

19
What do we need to make this work?

• File Uplink interface.
• Telemetry interface.
• WISH LIST
• TIDE monitors Timeliner activity in the IPVT
  system. Tool to log commands and telemetry for
  verification testing documentation.
• TIDE runs test scripts and logs telemetry
  feedback from IPVT. Generates auto test reports
  for users to review and documentation.

20
Well thats easy, do itbut what else could we do?

• Beyond simply providing an interface to the IPVT
  server system, we have an opportunity to develop
  self testing capabilities, test script
  generators, self generating code, and other
  advanced concepts.
• The hardest part is to provide an interface for
  TIDE to receive relevant telemetry to assist with
  rapid prototyping.
