Current trends in computing hardware technology are leading to a dramatic increase in the processing capability of avionic systems. The design and development environment for software has grown from the basic needs of assembler to the wider requirements of higher order languages. Use of the latter has also witnessed a growing, but disparate, use of tools associated with the design process. Language standardisation has presented the opportunity to produce powerful software development environments. In the future, it will be difficult to satisfy the growth in computing capacity and complexity without at least ten-fold improvements in productivity. Although the eventual aim is a single higher order language, the route towards this ideal will still require the support of several languages. Integrity and cost requirements will dictate the introduction of formal verification techniques to all levels of design and implementations. The use of VLSI/VHSIC technology and beyond will allow the designer to specify components and the design environment should be integrated with relevant CAD tools. These prospects are discussed and illustrated using a model of a Comprehensive Avionic System Computing Analysis and Design Environment (CASCADE). Those features of CASCADE which exist today are described and its progress is charted in the medium and long term.
