Internet of things (IoT), the growth of which is predicted to double from 2017 to 2022, will be widely applied in all fields. The concomitant IoT safety problem, which is closely related to first concerned human health, deserve prior and sufficient concentration. Different from other fields, securit...
The term Black Swan is a familiar concept in the context of high consequence operations. There is the continual concern that there may be an 'as yet' undiscovered flaw or lack of understanding in the design of a product, process or facility that could lead to a catastrophic event. Concern lies in th...
Aircraft are being networked and equipped with technology that enables onboard and air-to-ground connectivity, increasing the importance of information security in aircraft avionics. These networked systems provide access to and share real-time data for responsive decision-making and control ? suppo...
Currently, a 20J fragment projection curve is being used by the Insensitive Munitions (IM) community to distinguish between hazardous and benign energetic responses for various munition systems subjected to simulated combat threats. Substantial resources are being expended to obtain benign responses...
A critical aspect of any system safety program entails the identification of hazards, assessment of the risks associated with the identified hazards, the determination of effective mitigations to control the risks to acceptable levels, and verifying and validating the implementation of those mitigat...
After some general background on system safety and the motivation for its application an overview of a generic safety process (best suited for small to medium sized projects), in relation to the project lifecycle, is given. For each major project phase the respective safety process phase, safety obj...
