IDEALEEU

Aerospace Digital Passports, Reimagined

IDEALE-EU transforms aerospace lifecycle management through QS-anchored digital passports, ensuring tamper-proof provenance from design to retirement. Built on UTCS manifests with QS pre-event superposition capture and PLUMA automation, IDEALE-EU delivers the complete digital thread for mission-critical aerospace systems.

Revolutionary platform delivering

Immutable provenance via QS pre-event superposition capture of UTCS manifests and CB post-event anchoring ensures every component’s history is cryptographically secured and instantly verifiable. Complete lifecycle visibility across all 9 CAx phases—from CAD design through CAS services and end of life—provides transparent traceability. TFA (Threading Functional Architecture) with 15 canonical domains structures complex aerospace data for efficient management. PLUMA integration automates lifecycle UiX workflows, reducing manual overhead while maintaining certification compliance.

The platform addresses key challenges: counterfeit prevention, instant certification verification, predictive maintenance through federated fleet learning, and sustainable technologies including H₂ systems tracking and energy-harvesting sensor integration.

Automatic and Autonomous Digital Passport-iDP

Purpose
Extend IDEALE-EU with an Automatic and Autonomous Digital Passport (iDP) that self-generates, validates, and maintains UTCS-anchored passports with minimal human input.

Core functions

• Autonomous registration: detect new parts or digital assets in PLM/ERP and auto-instantiate UTCS manifests.
• Self-verifying integrity: continuous QS pre-event capture with checksum drift detection and CB post-event anchoring.
• Cognitive validation: AI checks evidence completeness, certification schema conformance, and anomalies.
• Federated interaction: FE logic coordinates cross-party updates with QS↔CB handshakes.
• Smart evolution: learn lifecycle signatures and propose corrections or schema upgrades.
• Context sync: auto-merge CAD/CAE, PLM, and MRO metadata to keep threads consistent.

Generative iDP capabilities

• Corrective procedure paths with ECR/ECO-ready diffs.
• Cryptographic roadmaps with key rotation and PQC plans.
• Schedule prediction for inspections and audits at object/entity level.
• UTCS extensions (YAML) and control notes auto-drafted from context.

Components

Layer	Module	Function
Detection	Event Monitors	Watch PLM/ERP/MES/CAD repos for new or modified entities
Generation	iDP Constructor	Compose UTCS templates, assign IDs, start QS capture
Validation	Compliance Engine	Verify schema integrity, evidence links, regulatory alignment
Anchoring	QS/CB Anchor Service	Manage pre-event capture, post-event proofs, immutable logs
Federation	Exchange Broker	Synchronize updates across partners and handle conflict resolution
Governance	Policy Orchestrator	Rulesets, smart-contract enforcement, dashboards and audit exports

Integration

• Triggers and actions via PLUMA workflows.
• Identity resolution against the UTCS registry.
• APIs for ATA/CAx systems and digital-twin sync (REST and gRPC).
• Emits UTCS.md, SCHEMA.(json|yaml), and POLICY.yaml for each leaf.

Benefits

• ~90% reduction in manual passport creation effort.
• Shorter certification lead times via autonomous compliance checks.
• Continuous trust maintenance across hardware, software, and models.

Digital passports for maintainable source code modules

Software and model artifacts receive passports with UTCS manifests and QS/CB anchoring, focused on maintainability and supply-chain integrity. Scope: versioned libraries, flight/ground software, embedded firmware, ML models, MBSE packages, and simulation decks.

Maintainability evidence captured

• Semantic version and changelog linked to signed VCS commits (GPG/Sigstore).
• SBOM (SPDX or CycloneDX) with dependency graph, licenses, and VEX status.
• Code quality signals: static analysis, lint, complexity, test results and coverage, mutation score.
• Vulnerability scans (CVE), policy gates, and remediation SLA.
• Reproducible build attestation (SLSA / in-toto), artifact digest, and provenance metadata.
• Operational SLOs for services, deprecation policy, and end-of-life timetable.

CI rules (minimal)

• Paths must match:

^/ORG/[A-Z0-9_-]+/PROGRAM/[A-Z0-9-]+/THREAD/[A-Z0-9-]+/STATE/(QS|FWD|UE|FE|CB|QB)/LAYER/(L[1-4])/
DOMAIN/[A-Z]{3}/PAX/(ONB|OUT)/.*

• Block merges if UTCS.md or README.md missing at any new directory.
• FCR-1 runs on QS/FWD; FCR-2 on FE/CB before QB tagging.

Frozen context management

Baselines capture certification states, requirement sets, design configurations, and manufacturing standards. Time-travel queries reconstruct historical states. QS anchoring prevents retroactive modification and logs tamper attempts with PKI audit trails.

Repository index and search

Semantic search with aerospace terminology, multilingual support, and faceted filtering by TFA domain, CAx phase, ATA chapter, program, certification status, supplier, dates, and component type.
