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).

Support for Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY-178 tuMP RTOS and CoreAVI’s graphics drivers on Curtiss-Wright rugged modules speeds the integration of high-performance avionics systems

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.

With the wide adoption of FACE, system integrators can reap tremendous benefits in interoperability and cost.

Low-power Arm-based VPX3-1703 joins Curtiss-Wright’s family of Intel® and Power Architecture® SBCs and expands support for Green Hills Software® INTEGRITY®-178 tuMP Safety-Certifiable RTOS.

COTS-based electro-mechanical Turret Drive Servo System can lower cost, speed deployment.
