In the dynamic landscape of military technology, policy acts as a catalyst for innovation, driving investment, research, and development towards strategic objectives.
DO-178B Process Objectives: DO-178C recognizes that to ensure correctness, control and confidence in software, functional safety must be addressed systematically throughout the software life cycle.
DO-178B and DO-178C are crucial standards for developing airborne software systems.
In section 6.4.2 DO-178C states that requirements-based test selection should include both “normal
range test cases and robustness (abnormal range) test cases”.
Is the reuse of avionics software feasible or even recommendable in automotive applications? This was one of the questions the research project VirtuOS tried to straighten out.
DO-178C, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification is the primary standard used to approve all commercial software-based aerospace and military/defense systems.
The RTCA and its new standard, DO-178C, will bring safety-critical software development into the modern era, adding support for advanced techniques such as UML and mathematical modeling, object-oriented programming and formal methods
