Development teams working to ensure adequate functional safety and security to protect critical systems from failure or attack are finding that the cost, time, and effort to meet airworthiness certification is rising substantially.

Next-generation avionics certification challenges include:

• Increased scrutiny and regulation of autonomous systems
• Dramatic growth in numbers of small aircraft
• Initiatives for sustainability and zero emissions that add complexity
• New attack vectors and expanded attack surfaces from increased connectivity

In this white paper, we share best practices and solutions to reduce risk and ensure your avionics software can be certified for airworthiness.
