PITTSBURGH, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Using ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) system and software
simulation solutions, Northrop Grumman Corporation is developing
the next generation of Black Hawk helicopter cockpit display
systems that must meet strict avionics standards within
programmatic development timelines.
Northrop Grumman is using ANSYS® SCADE
Suite® and SCADE Display® to provide
scalable, fully integrated avionics software for the upgrade of the
UH-60L Black Hawk cockpit to the digitized UH-60V and to meet
safety-critical avionics standards such as DO-178C.
"ANSYS' commitment and involvement in Future Airborne Capability
Environment (FACE™) includes support for ARINC-653, ARINC-661 and
DO-178C," said Eric Bantegnie, ANSYS vice president for systems.
"Using these proven solutions will allow Northrop to optimize its
system and software strategies and reduce development costs."
Up to 750 UH-60L aircraft are expected to be modified to the
UH-60V configuration, which represents the first fully integrated
avionics system for U.S. Army utility aircraft.
"SCADE allows us to take full advantage of model-based
engineering, resulting in improved development and testing
efficiencies and delivering an affordable software sustainment
approach across the program life cycle," said Simona Kelley, director of Army Avionics
Programs at Northrop Grumman.
Companies like Northrup Grumman
will share their model-based engineering successes at next week's
SCADE User Group Conference in Paris.
