Paris Air Show 2005
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2005--ALT SOFTWARE is very pleased to announce that Diehl Avionik has selected ALT Software's DO-178B Level A certifiable OpenGL driver to support their activities in the field of graphics generation for cockpit applications
Diehl, a major technology supplier to Airbus and many other aircraft manufacturers, is using ALT's DO-178B Level A certifiable OpenGL driver in the development of new display systems.This will allow Diehl and their partners to concentrate their resources on the development of innovative, industry-leading, application level display software for pilots, without incurring the overhead of developing the low-level device driver software.
ALT's certifiable OpenGL driver is especially developed for the ATI Technologies Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics chip used by Diehl, and features advanced graphics and high performance 2D/3D rendering
"Meeting the DO-178B safety critical standard for airborne systems is very complex, exacting, and labor intensive effort, and can be fraught with problems and time delays if not managed properly," said Chris Brady, president, ALT Software.
"Aircraft manufacturers extend rigorous demands on their suppliers, and ALT stays on schedule." "Defense and aerospace manufacturers seek innovation, flexibility and cost control to stay within their tight development windows.
We require embedded off-the-shelf technology, applicable even in safety critical systems, that will reduce development costs and shorten product development times," said Mr.
Christian Below, vice president of Marketing and Business Development, Diehl Avionik Systeme GmbH
"ALT Software drivers are the OpenGL graphics drivers for the highly demanding DO-178B environment and promise rapid and cost-effective development and deployment."
