Using Model-Based Design for DO-178C and DO-331 Compliance

Overview

The need for advanced civil and defence systems has been brought into sharp focus. In civil, the drive for zero climate impact is driving development of advanced propulsion systems and autonomy. At the same time, new mobility models, like Urban Air Mobility, are emerging. In defence, geopolitical uncertainty has highlighted the necessity for Next-Generation physical and digital systems, and the need to react quickly.

In both worlds, complying with Certification standards is still one of the most time-consuming activities.

Learn how to use Model-Based Design to show compliance with DO-178C and DO-331, while using qualified tools to streamline the process.
