Industry experts say open standards are helping drive development in small-form-factor battlefield and aerospace hardware like system-on-chip and single-board computers.

Curtiss-Wright and DDC-I Collaborate for First Live Demonstration of Deos DO-178 Level A RTOS on Safety-Certifiable Arm® V3-1703 Single Board Computer.

The demo features L3Harris’s FliteScene® Digital Moving Map Software, Green Hills Software INTEGRITY-178® tuMP RTOS, and Curtiss-Wright Single Board Computers and Graphics Modules.

Featured products will include ultra-small form factor mission computers and network switches, rugged high capacity storage solutions - such as the Data Transport System, and size, weight, and power (SWaP)-optimized embedded avionics systems - such as the ultra-lightweight Fortress Crash Protected Recorder.

Airbus aircraft links integration management system used in the demonstration is based on a safety certifiable rugged COTS processor system supplied by Curtiss-Wright.

Thanks to parallel advancements in battery technology and autonomous vehicles resulting from Tesla and other pioneering electric automobile manufacturers, we are rapidly approaching the era of the unmanned flying taxi.

Learn how you can take the risk out of system integration efforts with packaged commercial off the shelf (PCOTS) products.
