Abstract
Functional Safety Methods (FSM) have been developed and implemented for different domains of complex systems over
the past 30 years. However, as mech-aero systems have become more complex with the integration of cyber and physical
systems, there is a need to revisit and evolve these FSM methods for the successful co-design of Cyber Physical Vehicle Systems
(CPVS). This presentation will describe how this evolution of FSM for civil aircraft and systems development has taken place
over the past decade by using a Development Assurance (DA), rather than a Qualification Assurance (QA) approach. It
will then describe how the DA approach can be and should be applied for certification of military complex CPVS and for
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), both with civil and military application.
