Mentor Graphics and aeronautical services company Aeroconseil are combining forces to offer complementary DO-254 solutions and services to the Chinese aviation market. China is emerging as a key player in the worldwide aerospace development domain and is likely to benefit from the streamlined process for DO-254 compliance provided by Mentor and Aeroconseil.
RTCA/DO-254, "Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware," is a standard that is currently being enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency, Chinese Airworthiness Authority of Certification, and other worldwide aviation certification agencies. The purpose of DO-254 is to ensure the safety of in-flight hardware.
"Mentor has been investing heavily in understanding and meeting the needs of the DO-254 market for the last several years," said Michelle Lange, Mentor Graphics DO-254 Program Manager. "Our industry involvement has enabled us to not only educate our customers, but to tailor our solutions to the specific needs of DO-254 compliance. No other EDA vendor offers the breadth of solutions or the targeted features that Mentor can. We are pleased to see our efforts resulting in improved design efficiencies and program cost savings for so many companies."
AcconSys, Mentor Graphics' Chinese distributor for over seven years, is leading the local effort to supply companies with solutions that aid with DO-254 compliance. "Over the last year, we have seen a number of companies struggling with questions of DO-254 compliance," said Frank Xiao, Technical Director of AcconSys. "We are pleased that we can now offer our customers a broader solution that includes not only the industry's best tools for DO-254 projects, but also the expert training and services of Aeroconseil."
Mentor, Aeroconseil, and AcconSys are launching a series of DO-254-focused events in the fall, including training, seminars, and workshops.
