Install the Aerospace Safety Solution

​

What You Will Achieve

• A 3-level system decomposition structure (System → Subsystems → Components)
• All 22 work item types for safety and security analysis
• Risksheet templates for FHA, PSSA, SFMEA, DFMEA, CCA, and Hazard Tracking
• A Compliance Matrix covering 7 aerospace standards
• Role-specific dashboards for Program Managers, Safety Engineers, and V&V Engineers

​

Prerequisites

• Polarion ALM version 2304 or later is installed and accessible
• Nextedy Risksheet and Nextedy Powersheet extensions are licensed and active on your Polarion server
• You have Project Administrator rights in Polarion
• Your Polarion administrator has granted you access to project templates

​

Step 1: Create the Project from the Aerospace Safety Template

1. Open the Polarion administration panel at Administration → Projects → Create Project.
2. Select Aerospace Safety Solution from the template list.
3. Enter your project details:

Project ID:   AERO-001          (use uppercase, no spaces)
Project Name: Flight Control Computer Safety Analysis
Project Lead: (your username)
Prefix:       TA                (used for all work item IDs)

4. Click Create. Polarion will provision the project and copy all configuration files.

​

Step 2: Verify the Work Item Type Configuration

1. Navigate to Administration → Work Item Types within your new project.
2. Confirm the following key types are present (22 types total):

​

Step 3: Confirm the System Element Hierarchy

1. Open the Design space from the sidebar.
2. Navigate to the system element structure. You should see the reference architecture for the Flight Control Computer (FCC):

​

Step 4: Open the Safety Assessment Documents

1. Click Risks in the sidebar to open the safety documents space.
2. Confirm the following documents are present:

​

Step 5: Verify the Certification Readiness Dashboard

1. Click Cert. Readiness in the sidebar.
2. The dashboard displays live compliance metrics for each standard using traffic-light indicators:
   • Green — ≥ 80% complete
   • Orange — 50–79% complete
   • Red — < 50% complete
