Safety Critical Application Using DO-178B
The international avionics standard for safety critical software, RTCA/DO-178B Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, imposes very strict process development requirements on your project.
DO-178B is a set of guidelines for the development of software used on airborne systems, such as navigation systems and aircraft engine controllers. Such mission critical software must perform robustly with the assurance of the highest level of safety and airworthiness.
DO-178B encompasses goals for the software development process, guidelines for accomplishing the goals, and an explanation of how to show that the goals have been fulfilled. However, DO-178B does not detail exactly how the goals must be accomplished, allowing flexibility in the software development process.
EmbeddedPlus has exceptional experience in this specialist area. As the implementation of DO-178B becomes more widespread it is essential that the software development process adopted is based on known expertise. EmbeddedPlus is a company that has experience in both airborne and ground based systems to meet the DO-178B standard while integrating new software technologies such as OO/UML and auto-code generation.
EmbeddedPlus provides solutions for the safety and business critical industries. By safety-critical, we mean that a software failure might create a safety hazard in the equipment and put human life in danger. By business-critical, we mean that a software failure could have an impact on the bottom line and, even more importantly, on a company's reputation.
