The use of timing simulation in air force integrated avionics

The Integrated Communications Navigation Identification Avionics (ICNIA) program developed a timing simulation to explore the timing issues of its complex architecture. ICNIA shares processing resources to accomplish the various Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI) functions needed for specific mission scenarios. This paper describes the complex ICNIA architecture, the timing simulation, and the benefits of using the simulation for dynamic timing analysis of complex architectures
