Research for Electronic Warfare Software Variability Modeling based on Software Product Line Engineering

Electronic warfare equipment operates in various environments such as fixed-wing, rotary-wing aircraft, ships, and ground systems, and controls different types of sensors and countermeasures based on the concept of equipment operation. As the concept of weapon system operation becomes more advanced, electronic warfare equipment must meet a wide range of requirements, and the software installed on it must be developed on time while ensuring reliability and quality. Software product line engineering is a methodology for efficiently developing and maintaining various software products used in specific domains by systematically managing commonality and variability, which helps reduce development costs and time while improving quality. In this paper, we apply software product line engineering to the electronic warfare software family and model the variability of electronic warfare software.
