Certifies Safety Critical Software
Ensuring Airworthiness through DO-178C Compliance
In the world of aviation, software isn’t just a tool—it’s a safety-critical component. Errors in airborne systems can lead to catastrophic failure conditions. Our team specializes in the end-to-end development of airworthy software designed to meet the rigorous demands of DO-178C (ED-12C) certification.
We bridge the gap between complex engineering requirements and the strict regulatory standards of the FAA, EASA, and other global aviation authorities.
A commitment to Safe Airborne System
Our Core Capabilities
We provide comprehensive lifecycle services to ensure your software is robust, verifiable, and compliant.
| Process Stage | Our Service Focus |
| Planning Process | Developing the PSAC, SDP, SVP, SCMP, and SQAP. We define the roadmap for compliance from Design Assurance Level (DAL) A through E. |
| Development Process | High-level and Low-level requirements engineering, software architecture design, and coding in compliance with safety standards. |
| Verification Process | Rigorous testing including reviews, analysis, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to ensure the executable object code satisfies all requirements. |
| SQA Process | Independent Software Quality Assurance to monitor processes and ensure that every artifact meets the objectives of DO-178C. |
Why Choose Our Services?
- Expert Compliance: Deep understanding of the 71 objectives required for DAL A certification.
- Traceability: We ensure 100% bidirectional traceability between requirements, code, and test cases.
- Risk Mitigation: Early identification of potential failure conditions to ensure aircraft safety.
- Documentation Excellence: We produce the “Life Cycle Data” necessary for successful SOI (Statement of Compliance) audits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between DO-178B and DO-178C?
A: DO-178C is the modern update to 178B. While the core processes remain similar, 178C introduces more precise wording and four “supplements” that cover modern technologies like Model-Based Development (DO-331) and Object-Oriented Technology (DO-332).
Q: Can you help us determine our system’s DAL (Design Assurance Level)?
A: Yes. While the DAL is ultimately determined by the System Safety Assessment (SSA) at the aircraft level (per ARP4754A/4761), we can consult with your systems team to understand the failure conditions and ensure the software process matches the required rigor (DAL A through E).
Q: How do you handle “Modified Condition/Decision Coverage” (MC/DC)?
A: For DAL A projects, we use specialized structural analysis tools to prove MC/DC. We ensure that every condition in a decision is shown to independently affect that decision’s outcome, providing the highest level of safety assurance.
Q: Do you provide support for SOI (Statement of Compliance) audits?
A: Absolutely. We don’t just write code; we represent our work during SOI#1 through SOI#4. We help prepare the data packages and can be present to answer technical questions from the DER (Designated Engineering Representative) or authority.
Q: Can we use COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software in a DO-178C environment?
A: Yes, but it requires a specific qualification process. We can help you evaluate and document COTS components to ensure they meet the safety objectives required for your specific DAL.
