Labs, Simulation & Integration Environments

Sparnas designs and develops practical environments that allow aircraft teams to integrate earlier, test repeatedly, and troubleshoot complex systems without continuous access to the aircraft.

Lab and Simulation Architecture

• Development and integration needs assessment
• SIL and HIL concept development
• Architecture and interface definition
• Fidelity, scope, and reuse trades
• Hardware, software, and tool selection
• Lab evolution and deployment planning

Environment Development and Integration

• Aircraft and subsystem simulations
• Real and simulated interface integration
• Avionics and embedded hardware integration
• Aircraft bus and I/O representation
• Operator and engineering interfaces
• Data collection and visualization
• Fault insertion and off-nominal scenarios

Automation and Deployment

• Repeatable environment configuration
• Automated startup and health checks
• Scenario and test automation
• Configuration and version management
• Packaged, reproducible environments
• Deployable capabilities for remote teams and test locations

Lab Assessment and Recovery

• Existing-environment evaluation
• Reliability and maintainability improvements
• Integration bottleneck investigation
• Fidelity and coverage assessment
• Architecture modernization
• Roadmaps for reuse and expansion

Across the Development Lifecycle

Sparnas can support the capability from initial needs assessment through architecture, implementation, verification, deployment, documentation, team adoption, and continued use during ground and flight testing.
