tasks

01

Develop Software Requirements for HUD

We needed to create detailed software requirements for the HUD system, ensuring that all functionalities and performance criteria were clearly defined and aligned with the system’s requirments.

02

Facilitate Transition to Agile Development

Agile Process Implementation: Our team assisted the client in adopting a more agile approach to software development, helping to establish iterative development cycles, continuous integration, and faster feedback loops, while maintaining compliance with DO-178C standards.

03

HUD Software Development

Coding and Implementation: The task was to code the HUD software using C and OpenGL, ensuring it met the defined requirements and was optimized for performance and reliability in real-time applications. The development process followed DO-178C guidelines to ensure the software’s safety and certification readiness.

Integration with Existing Systems: We were responsible for integrating the HUD software with other avionics systems, ensuring seamless operation and data consistency, adhering to the standards outlined in DO-178C.
