Certification standards bodies on both sides of the Atlantic are becoming more open to certifying commercial–off–the–shelf (COTS) hardware and software as designers of these systems show evidence Design Assurance Level (DAL) A in their solutions. These developments are enabled by standards such as FACE, OpenGL, POSIX, and ARINC 653 which together enable not only certification to DO-178 C DAL A for example but also drive commonality and re-use across multiple military and commercial avionics platforms, resulting in reduced integration cost and development time. This e-cast of will discuss these benefits of certifying COTS technology as well as the challenges that remain.
