Huntsville, AL – January 17, 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 Military Aviation & Air Dominance Summit, which will be held January 22-23 at the Jackson Center in Huntsville, AL.
DDC-I will demonstrate a fully integrated avionics display system featuring the Deos™ safety-critical real-time operating system (RTOS), which utilizes the latest DO-178C Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) multi-core verified baseline. 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. Featuring the CoreAVI VkCoreGL® SC driver and libraries, the demo creates graphical instruments and groups data from multiple systems onto a single display.
“DDC-I has pioneered the development of safety-critical avionics software and multi-core technology,” said Gary Gilliland, vice president of marketing at DDC-I. “DDC-I has been at the forefront of standardization efforts like DO-178C and FACE®, and offers a readily-certifiable, easy to integrate RTOS platform and tools that deliver best in class multi-core performance, modularity, reuse and interoperability.”
The 7th Annual Military Aviation & Air Dominance Summit, hosted by the Defense Strategies Institute (DSI), will convene senior level experts and decision makers from across the U.S. military services, DoD, international partners, acquisition authorities, and industry for a Joint Service discussion on strategies, initiatives, and emerging capabilities critical for equipping and sustaining the future aviation force. The 2025 Summit will discuss how the military services, in partnership with industry and global partners, are modernizing aviation platforms and enhancing aircraft technology to ensure sustained air superiority.
About Deos
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 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 specified by AC/AMC 20-193 multi-core objectives that could impact the safety, performance and integrity of a software airborne system.
