Your role
The Aircraft Simulation is a part of Development Simulator area and is responsible for developing and supplying a realistic simulation of the JAS 39 Gripen that is used for both development of the aircraft and for pilot training purposes. We are building for the future of our products through teamwork, innovation and close cooperation with our stakeholders.
Background
Simulations are used in the development and evaluation of complex systems, primarily for the JAS 39 Gripen. With this thesis, we aim to evaluate how existing standards for system representation and information exchange between models can be utilized to create conditions for expanded use of system simulations. This will be done through an evaluation of how the standards Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) and System Structure and Parameterization (SSP) fit the needs for simulating complex systems within the Gripen program.
Description of the Bachelor Thesis
The work is intended to be divided into two stages. In the first stage, which aims to create prerequisites for the following evaluation, a selection of existing reference models will be converted to FMI and SSP. Subsequently, the converted models will be utilized and integrated in an open simulation engine to evaluate standards and available open simulation engines for use in complex aerospace simulations.
During the thesis work, you will gain a good insight into how we at Saab work with modeling, simulation, and automated model validation. You will also get to partake in the current research Saab is conducting in the simulation of complex systems.
Your profile
This Master Thesis is suitable for one or two students, with interest in software development and software testing. You are at the end of your Master of Science in, for example, Computer Science and Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management, or Information Technology and about to start your Master Thesis work for 30 HP
Advantageous with experience in programming, preferably in C/C++ and Python. Experience in simulating complex systems is not required; we are happy to assist with that part.
A suitable start time for the work is in January 2025.
This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.
