CDF: che cos’e’?

– The ESTEC Concurrent Design Facility is an Integrated Design Environment (IDE) available to all ESA programmes for interdisciplinary and inter-directorate applications, based on Concurrent Engineering methodology

– Initially conceived for the assessment and the conceptual design of future space missions, i.e. internal pre-phase A / feasibility studies

– Currently also used for other multidisciplinary applications, such as:• Technology infusion• System of Systems architectures• Programme road-mapping• Instrument (conceptual) design • Reviews • Anomaly investigations (“tiger teams”)• Preparation of System specs, ITTs, standards tailoring, etc.

CDF: metodo

• Team orientated concurrent engineering• Integration of tools, project data, mission and system models• Simultaneous participation of all mission domains, incl. all Sub-systems,

Programmatics/AIV, Operations, Cost Engineering, Risk Analysis, CAD, Simulation

• Conducted in sessions: 4 to 12 plenary meetings, 4 hours, bi-weekly• Team Leader coordination • Customer participation• Model driven• On-line design • Highly co-operative & interactive• Iterative• Design options comparison and trade-offs

CDF: achievements

Activities performed– 180+ (potential) future missions studied and designed internally at

pre-Phase A, conceptual, system level– 3 System of System studies (JANUS, Space based Security architectures, EDA support)– 7 new launcher concept design– 11 complex payload instrument design (IDA), incl. platform, system, mission– 28 reviews of Industrial Phase A studies (internal + Industry) and Phase B– Joint studies with other Agencies, Industry, Academia– Education, training, promotion and standardisation activities

Spin-off– Transfer of CDF know-how and software to national Agencies, Industry, Academia– Creation of a Community of practitioners (e.g. bi-annual SECESA workshop)– Standardisation of the design data model for preliminary phases (ECSS-TM-E-10-25)– Distribution of Open Source SW (OCDT) as core/integration tool for all the facilities

Benefici

• Performances (typical pre-Phase A study):• Study duration (Design phase): 3-6 weeks (cp. 6-9 months!)• Factor 4 reduction in time• Factor 2 reduction in cost (for the Customer)• Increased nr of studies per year, compatibly with max 2 parallel

studies

• Improvement in quality, providing quick, consistent and complete mission design, incl. technical feasibility, programmatics, risk, cost

• Technical report becomes part of the specs for subsequent industrial activity, Cost report remains the ESA independent reference

• Capitalisation of corporate knowledge for further reusability

CDF has become an essential tool to support ESA Decision Making and Risk Management processes
