Introduction

GB/T 41270 "Influence of atmospheric radiation on avionics process management" stipulates the influence of atmospheric radiation on avionics process management in the field of avionics process management.

The management and technical requirements for the impact of electronic products are planned to consist of nine parts.

--- Part 1: Guidelines for design of protection against single event effects in avionics equipment. The purpose is to provide guidance for the design of protection against single event effects in aircraft flying at a speed of less than 18.3 km.

Provide guidance for the design of atmospheric radiation effect protection for avionics equipment.

--- Part 2: Guide for single event effects testing of avionics systems. The purpose is to provide a guide for microelectronic devices to measure single particle effects of atmospheric neutrons.

Guidance on test methods for sensitive characteristics of sub-effects.

--- Part 3: System design optimization considering single event effects (SEE) of atmospheric radiation. The purpose is to specify the Technical requirements under the influence of single event effects (SEE) induced by atmospheric radiation are used to guide the design of avionics products.

--- Part 4: Design management of potential single event effects of high voltage aircraft electronic equipment. The purpose is to specify high voltage (nominal higher than 200V) Guidelines for the effects and management of atmospheric radiation on avionics equipment.

--- Part 5: Evaluation of thermal neutron flux and single event effects in avionics systems. The purpose is to describe the effects of thermal neutrons on avionics systems.

The impact of sub-product composition.

--- Part 6: Potential impacts of extreme space weather on avionics environment and electronic equipment.

Information on understanding weather events, describing the mechanisms and conditions that produce "extreme space weather" due to a large increase in activity on the solar surface.

The potential radiation environment is discussed based on records of extreme space weather.

--- Part 7: Single event effects analysis process management in avionics product design. The purpose is to specify the single event effects analysis process management in avionics product design.

Methods and procedures for single event effects analysis of electronic components.

--- Part 8: Consideration of proton, electron, muon, alpha ray and single event effects in avionics. The purpose is to specify Small particle (proton, electron, pi, and muon flux) and single event effects on aircraft flying at 60,000 feet (18,300 m) Awareness and guidance on the effects of using avionics equipment.

--- Part 9: Procedure and method for calculating single event failure rate of avionics equipment.

General calculation method for particle effect failure rate, total failure rate calculation method, soft failure rate calculation method, hard failure rate calculation method and Calculation program.

This document provides additional guidance to avionics system designers, electronic equipment and component manufacturers and their customers, using a standard approach.

The system design is optimized to adapt to the atmospheric radiation single event effect (SEE).

Based on information and guidance from a system-level approach, a number of avionics systems are considered and a basic approach to adapting to single event effects (SEEs) is provided.

Method to meet the system hardware assurance level.

Atmospheric radiation effect is a factor that may cause hard failure rate and soft failure rate of equipment.

To obtain the failure rate values, the method described in ARP4754 (which generally accommodates hard and soft failure rates) will also accommodate the effects of atmospheric radiation.
