Upfront planning is the key to containing costs; especially for DO-178B certified projects. Kronos experts have years of experience in specifying and developing DO-178B certified airborn systems and are prepared to help you achieve project certification in a smart, aggressive and least costly manner.
DO-178B, is described in the RTCA Document RTCA/DO-178B, titled “Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification,” was developed by the avionics industry to establish software considerations for developers, installers, and users, when aircraft equipment design is implemented using microcomputer techniques. 55% of all commercial airborn software based systems are developed to DO-178B, Level A - the most stringent certification level.
DO-178B projects must be certified as a system, not a standalone component. Validated Software software components are sold to assist customers in rapidly and reliably achieving DO-178B certification.
A DO-178B project requires the following documents and records and data:
