Ease DO-178 Certification with VAPS XT-178 CertKit

DO-178 certification has become a significant component of the cost and time to build an aircraft making it a major risk factor. Cost estimates for certification of avionics software runs from $50 to $300 per single line of code (SLOC). Today’s modern airliners have on the order of 6 – 8 million lines of code.

With the release of VAPS XT-178 CertKit (CertKit), project certification risk is greatly reduced for real-time, embedded, graphical avionic HMI applications developed and deployed using VAPS XT-178. By leveraging Presagis CertKit, customers can accelerate their project timeline and reduce costs. Certification effort on the graphical HMI component of their application is greatly reduced since all certification artefacts are provided. The qualifiable VAPS XT-178 CODE nGEN enables iterative HMI application development without impacting the existing artefact set.

Benefits of CertKit include:

• Reduction of DO-178 project certification risk with a COTS, certifiable graphical HMI solution
• A complete, end-to-end DO-178B Level A certifiable graphical HMI development suite
• Leverage Presagis DO-178B certification expertise and gain a roadmap for DO-178C certification
