BOOTH # 114
Fort Worth, Texas – May 10, 2022. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will demonstrate its FACE-Conformant DO-178C, safety-critical Deos real-time operating system at the Vertical Flight Society’s 78th Annual Forum & Technology Display.
Forum 78 will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Forth Wort, Texas from May 10-12 and will feature more than 200 technical papers covering every discipline from acoustics to unmanned systems. It will also feature presentations and discussions by leaders in the military, government, and industry. DDC-I will showcase its FACE-conformant DO-178C Deos real-time operating system and OpenArbor development tools in Booth 114.
“We’re excited to be part of Forum 78 and look forward to demonstrating our world class, FACE-conformant, safety-critical platform to the vertical flight community,” said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing and product management at DDC-I. “Modular, reusable COTS systems equipped with Deos provide an ideal platform for rapid development, certification, and deployment of safety-critical software for a broad range of vertical flight applications.”
DDC-I’s Deos is a safety-critical time- and space-partitioned real-time operating system (RTOS). Verified to the guidance of DO-178C/ED-12C Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) for avionics applications, Deos supports ARINC 653 APEX, Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS), and is the first RTOS to receive the Future Airborne Capability Environment™ (FACE) Conformance Certificate for the FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.1. The certification covers the Safety Extended and Safety Base Profiles for the Operating System Segment (OSS).
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 bound 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 that could impact the safety, performance and integrity of a software airborne system executing on Multi-Core Processors (MCP), as specified by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST) in its Position Paper CAST-32A for Multi-core Processors.
About Forum 78
Forum 78 is the longest running rotorcraft event in the industry, and the most extensive exposition addressing the needs of the VTOL, STOVL and related aerospace industry. The VFS Forum provides access to an elite technical community responsible for directing the engineering and manufacturing processes of the global rotorcraft industry, with leading manufacturers, service providers, defense agencies, universities and research and development organizations showcasing the very latest in vertical flight technology.
Exhibitors will interface with top program decision makers on the show floor during unopposed exhibit hall viewing hours as well as at exhibit hall luncheons, receptions, and industry-wide sessions such as the US Army and US Navy / Marine Corps military program manager briefings. In addition, top ranking officers from the military source selection committees of the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force, US Coast Guard, Canadian Department of National Defence and international counterparts will seek out products, capabilities and expertise for their training and operation needs.
