Optimizing avionics reliability with dissimilar redundant architectures - Story
December 06, 2018
The potential consequences and acceptable probability of failure of an avionics system dictate the Design Assurance Level (DAL) that must be met in order for it to be certified for flight. The key computing elements of a system - such as the single-board computers (SBCs), graphics cards, and operating systems built into a flight-control computer or flight display - must all be designed with safety in mind and endure stringent testing to prove they can meet the required DAL. ARP4754 (Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems - Figure 1) is used by avionics designers as they allocate functions to systems and assign DALs to hardware and software for their safety-certifiable systems.

Milestone in abstracting the hardware: Realizing the promise of FACE - Story
October 17, 2018
The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium, part of The Open Group, was formed to establish a standard common operating environment to ?support portable capability-based applications across Department of Defense (DoD) avionics systems. Key to the common operating environment envisioned by FACE is the definition of an interface for operating systems and board support packages (BSP) that enables the hardware portion of a system to be abstracted, greatly increasing the portability and reusability of software applications. With the wide adoption of FACE, system integrators can reap tremendous benefits in interoperability and cost.

Cooling the beast: Heat-dissipation techniques for next-gen processors - Story
August 29, 2018
The good news: Newer-generation processing devices offer hugely boosted capability for military applications such as airborne data processing, shipboard electronics, or ground vehicle systems. The bad news: Newer-generation processing devices offer much more capability. Is this really both good news and bad news? In a word, yes.
