Austriamicrosystems has been selected by Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation to supply TTP controllers for use in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Verocel is a leader in tool-supported software certification.
The certification activities are part of TTTech's overall project with Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation for the Common Electronic Architecture in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
TTTech provides a TTP-based data communication platform that supports an extremely high level of fault tolerance, safety, reliability and availability for this architecture.
By working together with Verocel, TTTech partners with an aerospace industry expert for software certification.
Verocel has extensive expertise with RTCA/DO-178B, "Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification" and is also involved in several other certification projects for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
With its embedded COTS software, certifiable according to DO-178B, TTTech addresses the requirements of aerospace and defence manufacturers for safe distributed embedded computing and networking in advanced integrated control systems.
"Manufacturers of airborne systems need assurance that the software in their systems, which contain several off-the-shelf components, such as the TTTech software, meets the objectives of DO-178B," explains Kurt Doppelbauer, Director Sales Aerospace at TTTech, "by providing lifecycle data for our certifiable COTS solutions produced with the help of Verocel's tool suite, the labour-intensive, manual processes required for software certification and approval can be significantly automated".
"This will help our key customers in the aerospace markets to reduce certification costs and improve time-to-market".
