Optimizing Multicore Architectures for Safety-Critical Applications
Bringing the benefits of multicore processors to safety-critical systems is challenging. Read how Curtiss-Wright and Green Hills Software are up to the challenge.
Optimizing Avionics Reliability With Dissimilar Redundant Architectures
Rick Hearn explains how the key computing elements of an avionics system must all be designed with safety in mind and endure stringent testing to prove they can meet the required Design Assurance Level (DAL).
Given its complexity and the critical applications for which it is designed, embedded avionics software must undergo a rigorous approval and testing process before it can be approved as airworthy.
Safety-Certifiable COTS Modules Speed and Ease DO-254 Safety Certification
Increasingly, FAA and EASA regulations are requiring that airborne electronics used in military applications meet the DO-254 safety certification standard.
