This paper presents the view of the author and members of the AIMS project, a European Aerospace initiative funded under the EUREKA programme. The advantages and open issues discussed below are based on feedback and actual benefits derived from specific Embedded Computing System development experience gained by one or more of the project partners. Specifically, the IPSE technology employed on the Experimental Aircraft Project (EAP) was instrumental in providing quantifiable evidence of cost savings and quality improvements. Published results show that for an investment of 30000 pounds per person, a return of 180000 pounds per person was achieved. Significantly this investment cost encompassed training, education, equipment, and method investment, as well as software product investment. Today, four of the AIMS partners are collaborating on developing the European Fighter Aircraft (EFA). This is a multimillion pound project, which has on board more complex Embedded Computer Systems than any previous aircraft. With the reuturns already seen on the EAP development, the partners were keen to capitalise and enhance the practices and support technologies that gave the six to one return on investment. The resultant IPSE technology chosen is known as the Eurofighter IPSE. The major advances described in this paper are based on the technology of the EAP environment and the Eurofighter IPSE. The open issues are based on the leading edge drive of these European Aerospace companies, that are being addressed by the AIMS project.
