RTI Presents "Solving Avionics Safety Certification Challenges in UAS Platforms" Complimentary Webinar

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 14, 2016) - Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity platform company, today announced it is hosting a complimentary webinar, "Solving Avionics Safety Certification Challenges in UAS Platforms," in partnership with dSPACE GmbH, a provider of tools for developing electronic control units; DDC-I, a provider of safety critical software solutions for mission critical systems; and LDRA, a provider of static and dynamic analysis engines for both host and embedded software.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to release new approvals for the use of unmanned aircraft in the national airspace and other nations are making similar moves. As a result, many unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platforms must now comply with FAA safety standards for technology such as DO-178 B and C for flight-critical software, as well as DO-254 for hardware. Certification rules and procedures are still being defined, but the technological expertise for avionics certification already exists.

This e-cast of industry experts from a range of development and technical engineering disciplines will discuss the challenges and solutions for managing avionics safety certification in unmanned aircrafts.
