Safety Certification for Manned and Unmanned Aircraft Systems
DO-254 & DO-178B safety certification for manned and unmanned aerial vehicles can be a costly and time consuming undertaking, especially if the process is new to your organization. Working with a vendor that can provide Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) modules and systems that are designed for safety certification can significantly reduce your program’s cost, development time, and overall certification risk.
Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions has extensive experience and decades of proven success in airborne systems, providing hardware developed with safety certification artifacts for RTCA DO-254. Our range of solutions covers process-intensive civil and military embedded systems, highly configurable mission computers, data acquisition systems, data concentrators, air data computers and flight data recorders. We have the expertise to help you save time getting your systems certified.
COTS Modules Designed for Safety Certification
An alternative to more costly custom designs, Curtiss-Wright’s Safety-Certifiable COTS Graphics, I/O and Single Board Computer modules reduce the cost and development risk for designers of systems with DO-254 and DO-178B safety certification requirements by providing the design artifact packages required to support successful safety certification. With these artifact packages in hand, system designers can focus on developing critical aviation applications for manned or unmanned aircraft systems, ultimately reducing overall development time.
Curtiss-Wright’s COTS modules designed for safety certification can be modified to meet your unique hardware and software requirements, and Curtiss-Wright can provide the appropriate planning and design documents to support your certification effort.
