Provides standard guidance on major tasks and activities and how to implement and manage Functional Safety and software system safety aspects of Model Based System Engineering (MBSE). Process focus is on safety-critical functions (SCF) of complex software intensive systems being modeled and depicted graphically as part of MBSE and software engineering to ensure safety engineering aspects are tracked and captured as part of models to enhance safety documentation and produce objective safety evidence.
Rationale: Current proven MBSE concepts and methods do not sufficiently address or include any explicit safety tasks or safety engineering processes or safety design attributes. A broad guideline is needed to advocate and promote Functional Safety and modeling aspects of system safety and software system safety in several applicable domains; commercial/civil aircraft, military aircraft, aerospace, space systems, military defense systems, ground systems, transportation, automated industrial systems and other complex system of systems.
