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.

Demo highlights DO-178 safety-certifiable VxWorks® 653 3.0.1.1 RTOS on Curtiss-Wright VPX3-152 SBC and graphics modules and cost-effective development path

Green Hills Software’s field-proven INTEGRITY-178 tuMP safety- and security-critical multi-core real-time operating system (RTOS) will be demonstrated for the first time running on the Curtiss-Wright VPX3-1703.

DDC-I’s Deos DO-178 DAL Level A safety-critical multi-core real-time operating system (RTOS) will be demonstrated for the first time on Curtiss-Wright’s NXP Power Architecture QorIQ Quad-core AltiVec-enabled T2080 processor-based VPX3-152.

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.

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.
