Abstract

The Minimal Operational Performance Standard (MOPS) for TCAS II (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System) was deemed unacceptable by the FAA as a basis for government certification, as it is expressed in plain English and low-level pseudocode. To correct this problem, a high-level software requirements specification (SRS) was developed by reverse engineering the pseudocode and capturing the required behavior using RSML (Requirements State Machine Language), a requirements language based on hierarchical communicating finite state machines.
