Urban Air Mobility (UAM), Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and eVTOL aircraft are transforming the aerospace industry, introducing new complexities in Avionics software development. Ensuring Safety, Security, and airworthiness certification is becoming increasingly demanding, with rising costs and stricter regulations.

Key challenges impacting Avionics software development and verification include:

  • Emerging regulatory standards for autonomous systems
  • Growing adoption of C++ in embedded software to manage complexity
  • Shift toward agile development to accelerate innovation
  • Evolving Cybersecurity threats, increasing the need for DevSecOps integration

An integrated, automated development and verification toolchain can address these challenges by improving certification artifact management, reducing costs, and minimizing certification risks.

LDRA and SYSGO are collaborating to deliver a best-practice solution combining SYSGO’s C++ Safety library and LDRA’s static analysis, testing, and coverage tools, enabling safe and secure next-generation Avionics software.
