This two-day course will introduce participants to industry best practices for real-world software development and how to avoid common DO-178C mistakes. This course is intended to present the information necessary to help minimize DO-178C risks and costs, while also maximizing software quality during avionics development.  The instructor will guide participants through topics such as aircraft safety, systems, software planning, software requirements, and software design/code/test.  

Internal audits are a requirement of the AS9100, AS 13100 and RM 13005 and are intended to verify the compliance and effectiveness of an organization's quality management system. The methods and techniques for performing internal audits have significantly changed in the aviation, space and defense industries, and internal auditors must be knowledgeable of these requirements and the expectations as identified in the standard.

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese). Participants in this course comprehensive understanding of the DO-254 standard including how the development of airborne electronic hardware (AEH) and the development of the aircraft system are related. It addresses the key objectives, activities, and generated data of the AEH lifecycle and presents common problems in the application of DO-254 and how to prevent them. This course also includes current AEH certification requirements and interprets some of the difficulties in gaining compliance approval.

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese). Participants deepen the understanding of the standard and build on how software engineers, inspectors, and DERs can comply with the standard's objectives. Practitioners engage with the implications and rationales of DO-178C in order to effectively tackle real worked applications.

Gaganyaan programme is India's prestigious human space exploration endeavour. During the re-entry of the spacecraft, achieving the minimum terminal velocity is paramount to ensure the crew's safety upon landing. Therefore, acquiring accurate in-flight velocity data is essential for comprehensively understanding the landing dynamics and facilitating post-flight data analysis and validation. Moreover, terminal velocity plays a pivotal role in the qualification of parachute systems during platform-drop tests where the objective is to minimize the terminal velocity for safe impact. Terminal velocity also serves as a critical design parameter for the crew seat attenuation system. In addition to terminal velocity, it is equally necessary to characterize the horizontal velocities acting on the decelerating body due to various factors such as parachute sway and wind drift. This data also plays a central role in refining our systems for future enhancements.

Software certification guidelines, such as RTCA DO-178C, mandate the analysis of data and control coupling (DC/CC) in safety-critical avionics software using requirement-based testing. The intention of this analysis is to ensure correctness in the interactions and dependencies between software components. The shift from confirming the coupling (as in DO-178B) to verifying the exercising of the coupling (as introduced in DO-178C) transitions the DC/CC objective from an analytical exercise against the test design to a measurement exercise against the test execution. Current methodologies for measuring Data Coupling and Control Coupling (DC/CC) rely on source code instrumentation, which embeds code to record coverage information during requirements-based testing. However, this approach has significant drawbacks. Primarily, it necessitates executing tests on both the instrumented and non-instrumented versions of the code, ensuring their outputs match.

In any aerospace mission, after the vehicle has taken off, the visual is lost and the information about its current state is only through the sensor data telemetered in real-time. Very often, this data is difficult to perceive and analyze. In such cases, a 3D, near to real representation of the data can immensely improve the understanding of the current state of mission and can aid in real-time decision making if possible. Generally, any aerospace vehicle carries onboard an inertial system along with other sensors, which measures the position and attitude of the vehicle. This data is communicated to ground station. The received telemetry data is encoded as bytes and sent as packets through the network using the Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP).  The transmitted data is often available in a very low frequency, which is not desirable for a smooth display. It is therefore necessary to interpolate the data between intervals based on the time elapsed since last rendered frame.
