Optimized Code for Embedded Avionics Applications
Posted by: Hari Lakshminarayanan | 10 Mar, 2021
Running optimized code in embedded application is very important from different angles – achieving higher throughput, better memory utilization, lower power consumption and allowing scalability, among others. With advancements in processor technology, newer processors are constantly being rolled out. It would not be economically viable to keep porting application software into newer processors to take advantage of the newer technology. Hence it is vital to extract the best out of the currently selected hardware. ....Read More

The use of a Parameter Data Item impacts various processes as described in DO-178C.A Parameter Data Item is a separate configuration item, that influences the behaviour of the software without modifying the Executable Object Code. A Parameter data item provides a flexible, yet controlled, way to configure and reconfigure the system......Read More
Navigation and Traffic Management in UAV
Posted by: Rakesh Nayak, Hari Lakshminarayanan | 08 June, 2021
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are arguably the Aviation Industry’s one of the most exciting and promising developments. The expectations of UAS capabilities are boundless, but their safe implementation and integration to regulated airspace needs more supervision and support. UAV, UAS, RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) are all terms that are often used interchangeably.......Read More
