Safety-Critical Architecture Assessment

In conjunction with Verocel, Inc., RTI offers a Safety-Critical Architecture Assessment. This assessment extends the RTI Architecture Study by adding in-depth safety-critical and system certifiability design analysis. It provides analysis of system data distribution, integration, platform architecture and certification requirements. This includes mapping safety-critical data distribution technology to system functional requirements and partitioning frameworks, as well as determining traceability and artifact evidence materials required for satisfying certification criteria such as DO-178B/ED-12B Level A.

Leveraging middleware, platform, and safety-critical certification expertise at the start of your project reduces risk and ensures an optimal architectural design that is certifiable. RTI and Verocel have combined their expertise to address the difficult task of designed systems such that the system software can satisfy the safety certification criteria—and be affordable—particularly when having to absorb enhancements. In addition, the Safety-Critical Architecture Assessment can cover:

• Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) certification of distributed system
• Certifying new and legacy modules
• Addressing the effort necessary in raising software levels (e.g. from DO-178B Level C to A)

The assessment also addresses the certification of new technologies, such as XML-based configuration and object-oriented paradigms.
