PITTSBURGH, March 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Physical
Optics Corporation (POC) is using Ansys (NASDAQ:
ANSS) simulation software solutions to develop avionics for U.S.
military aircraft. Ansys® SCADE® Solutions
for ARINC 661 Applications (Ansys SCADE for ARINC 661), will
enable POC to reduce development time and accelerate certification
— integrating new functionality at a much lower cost and enabling a
faster path to market.
U.S. Department of Defense legacy aircraft equipped with aging
avionics and controls require costly upgrades to add new
capabilities. As avionics software becomes increasingly
sophisticated, complying with complex requirements, satisfying
safety-critical standards and reducing costs present major
development challenges. Efficient model-based software development
with qualified code generation offers a more streamlined approach
to decrease software cost and development while effectively
managing highly complex designs.
"We selected Ansys SCADE for ARINC 661 with the hope of
significantly streamlining model-based software development and
lowering the risk path to certification," said Omar Facory, vice
president of Mission Systems at POC. "Ansys SCADE 661 is
instrumental for driving interoperability and reusability —
enabling our team to easily update new functionality for military
aircraft as it becomes available."
Ansys SCADE for ARINC 661 provides excellent model-based
software development and automatic qualified code generation to
quickly create and certify avionics software. Development time can
be greatly reduced while adhering to ARINC 661, DO-178C and the
FACE Technical Standard. Driving reusability across aircraft
platforms, Ansys SCADE 661 expedites integration of new
functionalities and greatly reduces platform-specific design.
"Ansys SCADE for ARINC 661 provides the ability to rapidly
generate avionics software in full compliance with ARINC 661 and
enables alignment to the FACE Technical Standard," said Eric
Bantegnie, vice president and general manager at Ansys. "This
delivers outstanding reliability, dramatically increases
productivity, achieves a top-tier level of quality and swiftly
expedites software certification, while fully qualifying with
DO-178C."
