Verification and Validation of Dynamic Reconfiguration in IMA with a MATLAB/Simulink ARINC 653 Blockset

Whitepapers, PikeOS, Avionics & Defense, Safety

The complexity of today’s avionics systems demands more than traditional testing methods. Safety-critical platforms like Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) require rigorous verification and validation (V&V) to ensure reliability under dynamic conditions. 

Our whitepaper explores how Model-Based Design (MBD) and simulation-based V&V can transform this process. Using MATLAB/Simulink with the ARINC 653 blockset, we demonstrate how virtual prototypes enable faster design iterations, cost-efficient testing, and early insights that align closely with hardware performance. By simulating dynamic reconfiguration, we show how teams can bridge the gap between design intent and embedded execution, paving the way toward more agile development and certification.
