IoT has been used in smart homes and cars is not uncommon, it seems little for the aviation industry, through Wind River's senior director of aviation and defense business, Chip Downing learned that Wind River VxWorks 653 Helionix to get on the Internet of Things Express, Improved helicopter management. Airbus Helicopters will use the Wind River VxWorks 653 platform to implement Helionix, its latest integrated modular avionics (IMA) system. 1, VxWorks 653 platform remodeling aviation industry It is understood that the VxWorks 653 platform is Wind River's a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platform for security-critical IMA applications. The upgraded version of the VxWorks 653 is used in Helionix systems for multifunction displays, flight management, control systems and autopilot to support applications successfully passing DO-178C certification at multiple levels of the RTCA (Aeronautic Radio Commission), as well as future machines Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) 2.1 Safety base Profile for Technical Standards. In addition, it provides resource management and partitioning capabilities so that stand-alone applications with different safety-critical levels can run simultaneously on a single target platform. VxWorks 653 platform or will reshape the aviation industry. "The VxWorks 653 platform provides resource management and partitioning capabilities and supports a wide range of open standards that allow customers to integrate applications at different levels of security from different software vendors on shared computing platforms while developing their critical There are a variety of APIs to choose from for safe on-board applications. "Chip Downing said," This stable security partitioning and virtualization / isolation feature has been demonstrated in mission-critical avionics systems , Making it the solution of choice in the same demanding industrial and transportation sectors. " Wind River is a real-time operating environment developed for the sophisticated, high-security ARINC 653 IMA system and has been used by over 200 customers over 350 projects in more than 75 aircraft and is powered by 24 partners Support, used as a key technology in a variety of commercial, aviation, safety and mission-critical, manned or unmanned aircraft projects around the world. Among the most representative projects are Airbus and Boeing commercial and military aircraft, such as the Airbus A400M and the Boeing 787. 2, Helionix keep pace with the times to get on the Internet of Things Express Helionix, the Helionix system consists of three large-size displays: one that provides all the parameters necessary for flight and navigation, one that shows basic or optional mission systems, and one that provides the same information to the copilot. It is a fully integrated system that represents the latest technological level of European helicopter manufacturers, providing driverless assistance and an intuitive human-machine interface. According to reports, unlike the original Meghas avionics system, the new Helionix system will not display all the information displayed by all traditional helicopter flight instruments on its flight and navigation display (FND) at the same time, but prioritize the information After giving to the pilot. "For example, an environmental awareness system located in the center of the dashboard allows pilots to quickly understand the helicopter's geographical (obstacles, topography) and antenna (presence of other aircraft) information by digitally displaying it. To prevent dangerous situations, the HTAWS Warning system) will warn crews in advance of any land-based obstacles on the current flight path, "Chip Downing added. The new avionics system, including the H175 and H145 certified civil rotorcraft, has significantly improved helicopter management while providing unprecedented performance and safety through an integrated, modular approach. It is understood that Wind River as early as 10 years ago to maintain cooperation with Airbus helicopters, when Airbus chose VxWorks helicopters as a design platform for its predecessor. Today, Airbus Helicopters once again chose VxWorks 653 to develop its first integrated modular avionics program, significantly improving its helicopter management. The VxWorks 653 is used in multi-function displays, flight management, control systems and autopilot modules. But also provides resource management and partitioning capabilities so that stand-alone applications with different safety-critical levels can run simultaneously on a single target platform. The responsible person for the Helionix project for Airbus Helicopters said: "Wind River's safety-critical technologies have been validated in other IMA systems to provide sufficient reliability, flexibility and configurability to meet stringent safety requirements and, at the same time, From system design to verification, Wind River has provided us with comprehensive technical support to make the entire R & D process go smoothly.
