AVISTA Supports Military Communications Project

Esterline AVISTA successfully completed work on a new satellite communications system for an important military aircraft. At the request of the communications equipment prime contractor, AVISTA provided DO-178B guidance to all four companies involved, and actively supported the vendors who didn't have significant expertise with the certification standard.

The AVISTA team handled all the DO-178B documentation, software design, software requirements-based test cases, as well as software quality assurance (QA) guidance and support for the formal aircraft certification reviews. While the work was of a strategic nature, given the importance of the aircraft there was significant work involved with this project. AVISTA provided the equivalent of more than one-and-a-half staff years of work toward the project.
