“…In case of software changes after certification, the question which artifacts needs to be reevaluated often leads to a 'Big Freeze' problem (i.e. baselining the software) [24]. A solution to this is implemented in mrails.…”

“…The advantage of this interface is that it can be used outside the MATLAB environment and helps in the reviewing process. In [24], an example using mrails for flight control development is provided. Mrails interacts well with Continuous Integration (CI) by providing a simple MATLAB command-line interface that can be easily used on a CI server.…”

The emergence of a global market for urban air mobility and unmanned aerial systems has attracted many startups across the world. These organizations have little training or experience in the traditional processes used in civil aviation for the development of software and electronic hardware. They are also constrained in the resources they can allocate for dedicated teams of professionals to follow these standardized processes. To fill this gap, this paper presents a custom workflow based on a subset of objectives derived from the foundational standards for safety critical software DO-178C/DO-331. The selection of objectives from the standards is based on the importance, degree of automation, and reusability of specific objectives. This custom workflow is intended to establish a lean and highly automated development life cycle resulting in higher quality software with better maintainability characteristics for research and prototype aircraft. It can also be proposed as means of compliance for software of certain applications such as unmanned aircraft systems, urban air mobility and general aviation. By producing the essential set of development and verification artifacts, the custom workflow also provides a scalable basis for potential future certification in compliance with DO-178C/DO-331. The custom workflow is demonstrated in a case study of an Autopilot Manual Disconnection System.
