1 Introduction and Scope
1.1 Wide Area Augmentation System Overview
The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a safety-critical system consisting of equipment and software that augments the Department of Defense (DoD) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Positioning Service (SPS).
The primary mission of WAAS is to provide air navigation for all phases of flight in the National Airspace System (NAS). The WAAS augments the GPS with:
o A ranging function, which improves availability;
o GPS corrections, which improve accuracy; and o Integrity monitoring, which improves safety.
WAAS provides a Signal-in-Space (SIS) to WAAS-certified avionics for FAA approved phases of flight. The ranging capable SIS provides data corrections for the GPS and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites.
Figure 1-1 shows the WAAS architecture consisting of the Wide-area Reference Stations (WRSs), the Wide-area Master Stations (WMSs), the GEO Uplink Subsystems –(GUS), the GEO Satellite Payloads (GSPs), and the Terrestrial Communications Subsystem (TCS) which interconnects the WAAS components.
Each GSP operates with two geographically diverse GUSs which are functionally redundant. They operate under coordinated control such that one GUS operates as the Primary uplink to the GSP while the other operates as a Backup terminated in a dummy load.
Broadcasts from the GPS and GEO satellites are received and processed by widely-dispersed WRSs that are strategically located for data collection within the WAAS service volume. Processed data from all WRSs is forwarded to WMSs for further processing to determine the integrity, corrections, and residual errors for each monitored satellite and for each predefined Ionosphere Grid Point (IGP).
Multiple WMSs are provided to eliminate single-point failures within the WAAS.
Although all WMSs send data to all GUSs, only data from the selected Primary WMS is accepted by the GUS. The Primary GUS formulates the navigation message and transmits the GPS-like SIS to their its respective GEO satellite which broadcasts the WAAS SIS to Users.

3.2.10 Software Development and Assurance
The Contractor must provide RFU subsystem software lifecycle data that complies with the guidance and objectives of either RTCA/DO-178B assurance Level D or with RTCA/DO-278A Assurance Level (AL) 5, in accordance with the direction provided in this section of the SOW. The DO-278A AL5 is identical to DO-178B/C Software Level D for the software safety assurance criteria required for the software controlling the WAAS RFU subsystem. The equivalence of these two software assurance levels is documented in DO-278A Section 2.3.3, Table 2.2.
The software processes and life cycle data required are dependent on the Contractor’s approach for providing the software. Two approaches are allowed by this SOW:
Page C-24 of 61 July 2017
“This contract may contain information considered sensitive unclassified information (SUI) and would merit protection from unauthorized disclosure under 5 U.S.C, Section 552(b)(4). No information shall be released except as authorized by the Contracting Officer.”
1. The first approach applies when a Contractor will execute a full software development activity without the use of COTS or when a Contractor will submit or modify previously approved software (inclusive of COTS components) that already complies with RTCA/DO-178B safety assurance Level D. The DO-178B Development Approach as specified in Section
3.2.10.1 defines the activities and products that need to be generated.
2. The second approach applies when a Contractor will apply COTS, modified COTS, or previously developed software that was developed or previously applied without consideration of DO-178B Level D (or higher).
The DO-278A Alternate Approach specified in Section 3.2.10.2 defines the activities and products that need to be generated. DO-278A is being used in this approach, because it provides a more prescriptive and systematic means of showing compliance with design assurance objectives when COTS software is used.
Figure 3-1 is an overview of the life cycle activities and data required for the two approaches mentioned above.

“This contract may contain information considered sensitive unclassified information (SUI) and would merit protection from unauthorized disclosure under 5 U.S.C, Section 552(b)(4). No information shall be released except as authorized by the Contracting Officer.”
Independent of the approach taken, the Contractor must support execution of FAA RFU subsystem software test activities and correct deficiencies identified during execution of those tests.
The development and assurance efforts are applicable for the duration of the contract. The applicant/contractor must show compliance with all objectives identified in DO-178B or DO-278A for defined Designed Software Assurance Level. A subset of the required compliance documentation must be delivered to the FAA. The required deliverables are listed in sections 3.2.10.1 or 3.2.10.2 depending on the selected approach. The existing Contractor artifacts are acceptable in Contractor format, as long as the artifact content fulfills the requirements of this SOW. The Contractor must maintain the software assurance artifacts for the duration of the contract. At any time, the FAA must have the right to obtain the artifacts or copies of the artifacts.
Table 3-1 summarizes the development processes and the subset of life cycle artifacts delivered for each approach to fulfill the DO-178B/DO-278A objectives.
Correlations to SOW sections are provided when specific deliverables are required as an output of a life cycle activity.

3.2.10.1.3 Software High Level Requirements Documentation
The Contractor must develop, document, and maintain a set of software high level requirements for the RFU subsystem that complies with the objectives of RTCA/DO-178B Annex A, Tables A-2 and A-3. The requirements must be developed in sufficient detail to support the development of the software necessary to implement control of the RFU subsystem and satisfy WAAS SGS/RFU Interface Control Document, WAAS100161A.
Items including but not limited to hardware dependencies, interrupt handling, interface handling, or error handling must be considered. The software high level requirements must have traceability to the RFU system requirements derived from the Technical Specifications [Section J]. They also must provide traceability to the software verification cases and identify the test methods (see Section 3.2.10.1.4). Derived software high level requirements must be defined and provided to the system process, including to the system safety assessment process.
CDRL A009 RFU Subsystem High Level Software Requirements
3.2.10.1.4 Verification of High Level Requirements
The Contractor must plan, implement, and document the verification activities to ensure that all RFU subsystem software high level requirements are satisfied, and that the requirements in the Technical Specifications [Section J] are met.
The SDP [A007] must define the means by which the software verification process objectives of DO-178B will be satisfied. It must describe the verification methods used, verification environment used for testing the RFU subsystem software, re-verification guidelines for modified software, and (if applicable) verification compliance of previously developed software.
The RFU Subsystem Software High Level Requirements [A009] must identify the verification method applied for each requirement and also trace to verification cases.
The Contractor must develop software test cases and procedures that comply with RTCA/DO-178B verification objectives in Annex A, Table A-6 and Table A-7.
Test cases and procedures may be contained in the same artifact, as long as the required content is captured in accordance with RTCA/DO-178B. The test cases must exercise normal and robust conditions and trace to the RFU Subsystem
