software engineering

Boeing Australia has developed a strong software capability for deployment on Command, Control and Communication (C3), weapons and aircraft systems programs.

This development is supported by toolsets for C++, Java, Ada and DO/RTCA 178-B applications and is often coupled with distributed technologies including the Object Management Group's (OMG) CORBA. Work performed in Software Development Environments (SDE) tailored to projects often involves the application of CASE tools such as IBM's Rational product suite. These capabilities are further complemented by system and software requirements management capabilities necessary for large-scale systems development using configuration management tools such as Telelogic DOORS and PVCS. All development is performed in accordance with the Boeing Software Process Manual, a tailored version of MIL-STD-498, and is complemented by training programs.

Boeing Australia regularly provides substantial software engineering effort to The Boeing Company in the US. This exchange allows the transfer of expertise in both directions to enhance Boeing Australia's software engineering capabilities. For example, the Software Architecture Framework developed by Boeing Australia has been adapted and incorporated into the Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System Product Line. Similarly, Boeing Australia is using expertise from US centres with Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Level 5 accreditation to gain similar SEI accreditation.

Description	Pertinent information
Boeing Australia's software engineering capability comprises: C++, Java, Ada and DO/RTCA 178-B applications, plus distributed technologies including CORBA establishment of SDEs supported by DOORS and PVCS uses Boeing Software Process Manual supported by training programs plus US work experience	Boeing Australia has successfully deployed its software engineering capability on the F-111 avionics and weapons programs, the High Frequency Modernisation Project (HFMP), the Integrated Area Defence System Command and Control Information System (ICCIS), the Wedgetail AEW&C program, and the current development of the Vigilare C4I system.
Status	Company
Boeing Australia has delivered six mission- and/or safety-critical Operational Flight Program builds for six federated mission subsystems on the F-111 program. The performance has met benchmarks for similarly complex operational flight program in the US. In July 2004, ICCIS was delivered and in August 2004, the Core Phase of the HFMP was delivered incorporating numerous software builds.	Team Australia - Boeing Australia Limited
