Intergration Testing Station

The XSIM-ITS is an integrated Hardware In the Loop Simulator (HILS) used for acceptance testing of sub-systems, verification purposes during integration and for system maintenance. The XSIM-ITS extends traditional hardware in the loop simulation to provide fully automated verification of systems and sub-systems such as FCUs, from automated text execution through to results verification and reporting. Available with DO-330 tool qualification evidence, the XSIM-ITS is ideal for DO-178C developments where the time, effort and cost of verification process compliance can become enormous.

For clients, the XSIM-ITS further supports on-site simulation, training, demonstration and maintenance on integrated aircraft. This high-fidelity, real-time dynamic simulator exercises the full functionality of FCUs, including injection of flight upset events and failure cases. The XSIM-ITS is therefore ideal for system level training and demonstrations, with 3D visualisation on up to three external HD displays. Its built-in diagnostics suite also enables fast, on-site Remove & Replace (R&R) maintenance at both LRU and SRU levels. The XSIM-ITS’ Ground Power Unit (GPU) powers the subsystems on-board aircraft during simulation and ensures that all simulations (especially long endurance simulations) remain uninterrupted by running the XSIM-ITS from a built-in Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).
