Description
This paper presents a new control system software development approach entitled, RAPid Modeling and Analysis Philosophy (RAPMAP), and presents an example of the application of this approach on the International Space Station (ISS) program. RAPMAP embraces control system behavior modeling as an integral and ongoing part of the nominal development and integration process. Through a process called ‘Predictive-Verification,’ the RAPMAP approach ensures that development proceeds based on known and demonstrable performance and behavior throughout the development life cycle. The RAPMAP approach provides early identification of system integration issues and support for test and operational procedure development and training long before development products, which normally support these activities, are available. Section 1 of this paper introduces the concept of control system behavior modeling. Section 2 describes the RAPMAP approach and Section 3 provides a description of the the RAPMAP approach including a detailed description of its application on the ISS program. Section 4 summarizes the benefits of the RAPMAP approach.
