David Smith

Principal Consultant - Digital Systems Assurance

An expert in safety-related and safety-critical systems development and independent assessment.

My biography

I joined Frazer-Nash in 2000 with the responsibility of developing the company’s software safety capability.

Since that time, we have become synonymous for our work on safety-related and safety-critical systems development and independent assessment. We undertake safety assurance of aircraft, ships, submarines, autonomous systems, and weapons; and we develop and assess safety cases and provide guidance and advice for UK and international clients.

Recently, I approved research undertaken by some of our fantastic engineers on how to integrate artificial intelligence components, so that the overall system remains safe and trustworthy. I was also involved in developing a dependability case for an autonomous defensive system using new approaches in system engineering.
