Study on current development and strategies of equipment software support

With the rapid development of Software-Intensive System (SIS), equipment software system plays more important role in new-generation weapon. The current development of equipment software is summarized. In order to improve the safeguard capacity of equipment software and form complete and comprehensive safeguard architecture, the key input and output factors of estimation model for equipment software is established. According to the standard of ISO/IEC 12207, the whole life cycle of equipment software is divided into three different processes and corresponding activities in three processes are defined in detail. Aiming to the blindness of equipment software´s transplant and retirement, the activities in transplant and retirement processes are emphasized. Possible changes and the corresponding works in equipment software´s whole life cycle are also defined. Finally, the means to enhance the level of equipment software support for such conceptual change, regulation and system and talents training are discussed.
