Description

Design Analysis for Rapid, Effective Integration and Test (DAREIT) will support rapid deployment of CubeSats by adapting the model-based Architecture Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP) pioneered by the Army. ACVIP employs model-based system engineering to perform virtual integration and testing to identify issues in system designs early when it is orders of magnitude more efficient than finding and fixing issues during hardware integration and test. DAREIT will speed CubeSat development by 1) reducing the time needed for Test and Integration, 2) using tradespace analysis to minimize reliance on long lead time or out of stock parts, and 3) supporting model reuse across CubeSat instantiations. Feasibility will be established with a proof of principle DAREIT demonstration using an existing model-based analysis tool chain and detailed CubeSat model.
