VISTAS stands for V irtual I nteroperable S imulation for T ests of A vionics S ystems. In simple terms, this means that VISTAS ED-247 enable avionics equipment to be easily accessed and controlled remotely through ethernet. In turn, this also allows for equipment to be emulated with I/O devices. Working group partners that have helped to develop and test VISTAS ED-247 include academic institutions, aerospace equipment manufacturers, test bench services, engine test and automotive companies. Composed of several aircraft test bench suppliers, the research project VHTNG (Virtual and Hybrid Testing Next Generation) was also put together to create an open standard for testing requirements. Working group and project partners include:

VISTAS ED-247 is based on UDP and uses multicast addressing which allows for multiple receivers to receive data from one transmitter. Virtual channels are set up to represent the various signals that need to be transmitted. This is done via two files; an XML that stores the necessary virtual channels and an XIDML device configuration file that contains the parameters for each physical device channel. The VISTAS protocol uses a refresh policy that is event driven which means that messages are only retransmitted when a change has been detected. This ensures optimum bandwidth usage.

Depending on where you are in the verification “V model”, the tasks can be either all virtual, a mix between virtual and real, or all real. Ensuring that your system can scale up and down is critical for safety certification and time to market. We will present methods of code and hardware re-use to accelerate the development and deployment of your autonomous, flight or missions controllers.
