BOHEMIA, N.Y. Boeing officials selected North Atlantic Industries' (NAI) dual-redundant, Flight Control Computer (FCC) for the RASCAL Research Helicopter.

The RASCAL is a Blackhawk that has been modified for fly-by-wire control systems research and is essentially an airborne laboratory for pilots and researchers. The FCC incorporates DDC-I's Deos multicore ARINC-653 RTOS and safety-critical dual-redundant Time Triggered Ethernet.

Work on the contract will be performed at North Atlantic Industries’ Bohemia, New York facilities.
