Continuously growing aerospace industry competitiveness pushes avionic actors to revisit and strengthen their Verification & Validation (V&V) lifecycle related means. In this perspective, the areas of Test and Simulation (T&S) systems are now an unavoidable convergence path. Yesterday considered as different expertise fields, T&S should rely on common frameworks in the future supported by cutting-edge architectures. In the first part, the paper introduces the current main changes of Eurocopter's V&V process. Then we present the RISE simulation tool used in different applications fields such as Training Media, investigation studies and rapid prototyping. We highlight RISE multi-threading management capabilities and its associated simulation benefits. Capitalizing on simulation state-of-the-art, we introduce the new research project CHARTS. In order to meet performance, power and flexibility goals requested by T&S systems, this project proposes a challenging and a scalable hybrid architecture based on a multi-core processor tightly-connected to FPGA.
