The rapid increase in electronic and computing resources for use in aircraft has led to the dramatic evolution in the capabilities of military avionics systems.  The key challenge for developers is how to design embedded display graphics that effectively transmit large volumes of information to the crew, including flight management, mission management, and vehicle management, while keeping workload relatively low.

For large complex systems with thousands of functions, the amount of code is impossible for any individual to manage with 100% certainty.  Therefore, the right computer aided design and specification solutons are crucial for the successful design and development of embedded display graphics for avionics systems in military aircraft, including:

  • Multi-Function Display (MFD)
  • primary flight display or Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
  • specialized flight management systems
  • GPS and 2D digital maps with symbology overlays
  • sensors
  • military communications

Traditional or first generation graphics tools employ a static prototyping method that makes code and object re-use as well as late changes late in a project impossible. Today's generation of software should address the entire development lifecycle, from requirements, prototyping, and design to code generation, documentation, and compliance with military safety regulations.

Presagis offers a family of software tools, including VAPS, VAPS XT, and VAPS QCG for the development of modern, crew-centric military avionics designs.   With automatic code generation, the VAPS family of products allows early concepts to be tested by human factors engineers and pilots and then to be easily modified in response to their feedback.  Our newest product, VAPS XT, also allows code and objects to be easily re-used and tailored from project to project.  VAPS QCG provides the tools necessary for compliance with FAA standards such as DO-178B/C.
