Accelerating Avionics Design & Testing through FACE Conformance: An Integrated Model by Boeing, US Army & Aerospace Leaders

Pre-integrated, commercially developed software that adheres to industry safety and technology standards will dramatically accelerate the design, development and testing of next generation avionics. Open APIs defined by The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Technical Standard now enable rapid integration of software from both industry and government, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-deployment.

Boeing, in partnership with the US Army, AdaCore, CoreAVI, Presagis and Real-Time Innovations (RTI), will demonstrate an integrated FACE Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) solution stack covering cockpit displays, graphics systems and data transport connectivity. This stack enables high mission capability using the world’s latest and most advanced avionics technologies designed to accelerate RTCA DO-178C DAL A safety certification and FACE conformance.

The webinar will feature a presentation of a FACE Technical Standard Edition 2.1 aligned avionics Flight Deck that is integrated with the following technologies: Boeing Geospatial Embedded Mapping Software (GEMS), Boeing User Experience (UX) Flight Deck framework, US Army CCDC AvMC Crew Mission Systems (CMS) User Applications / UoPs, AdaCore's GNAT Pro Ada Development Environment, CoreAVI Vulkan-based Graphics and Compute Drivers and temperature-screened AMD E9171 GPU,PRESAGIS’ ARINC-661 Cockpit Display System, and RTI FACE conformant Transport Services Segment (TSS) based upon RTI Connext® DDS.
