Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (SANDEL ST3400H HeliTAWS) migration from DO-178B Level C to Level B. Certification of HTAWS at Level B. Managed team of 2, responsible for tracking schedule with MS Project. Traceability established from System Requirements Spec (SRC) to functions. Bottom-up analysis determined missing LLR; exercising existing HLR tests along with BullsEye coverage tool determined decisions not covered.
