Nashville, TN – May 14, 2025. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will exhibit at the Army Aviation Mission Solution Summit. The summit runs from May 14-16 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.

DDC-I will showcase its Deos™ safety-critical real-time operating system (RTOS), which utilizes the latest DO-178C Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) multi-core verified baseline. DDC-I will also demonstrate a fully integrated avionics display system featuring Deos. The demo was created using the Ansys SCADE display design and development environment, which runs on an NXP i.MX8qm processor with an integrated Vivante GC7000 GPU. Utilizing CoreAVI VkCoreGL® SC driver and libraries, the demo creates graphical instruments and groups data from multiple systems onto a single display.
“We’re excited to be part of the Army Aviation Mission Solution Summit and look forward to demonstrating our world class, safety-critical RTOS platform and advanced display capabilities to the army aviation community,” said Gary Gilliland, vice president of marketing at DDC-I. “Multicore COTS systems equipped with Deos provide an ideal platform for rapid development, certification, and deployment of safety-critical software for a broad range of Army aviation applications requiring advanced display capability.”
The annual Army Aviation Mission Solution Summit, sponsored by the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA), is an opportunity for the entire army aviation community to gather in one place at one time to focus on solutions for warfighters. The summit aims to transform aviation warfighting and strengthen the sacred trust within the aviation community. Attendees can expect insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and updates on cutting-edge aviation technologies and strategies.
New for the show this year is an invitation-only International Defense Networking Reception. This edition will also feature the AAAA National Annual Awards during the opening session on May 14, a black-tie Hall of Fame Induction Banquet on May 15, and a Soldier Appreciation Dinner Concert featuring country singer Craig Morgan as a closing event.
Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that employs patented cache partitioning, memory pools, and safe scheduling to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS on multi-core processors. First certified to DO-178 DAL A in 1998, Deos provides FACE® Conformant OSS Safety Base and Safety Extended Profiles that feature hard real-time response, time and space partitioning, with support for Rate Monotonic, ARINC-653 and POSIX interfaces.
SafeMC™ technology extends Deos’ advanced capabilities to multiple cores, enabling developers of safety-critical systems to achieve best in class multi-core performance without compromising safety critical task response and guaranteed execution time. SafeMC employs a bounded multiprocessing (BMP) extension of the symmetric multiprocessing architecture (SMP), safe scheduling, and cache partitioning to minimize cross-core contention and interference patterns that affect the performance, safety criticality and certifiability of multi-core systems. These features enable avionics systems developers to address issues specified by AC/AMC 20-193 multi-core objectives that could impact the safety, performance, and integrity of a software airborne system.
