Presagis

The Canadian company PRESAGIS has more than 30-year work experience in the field of creation of the graphic built-in software and the systems of modeling. Her clients are the lead government and defense agencies, system integrators and developers of responsible applications. Among them – BAE Systems, Boeing, CAE, Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall Defence Electronics, SAAB, USAF and about 1000 other enterprises.

Specialization on specific segments allows PRESAGIS company to develop highly reliable solutions for responsible applications which completely conform to high requirements of developers of the applied systems aerospace and special purpose.

Among proposed solutions of PRESAGIS company it is necessary to select graphics packages for avionics and creation of onboard graphics: VAPS XT, VAPS XT-178 (for design of devices and HMI) and SeaWind-178 (for support of scalable OpenGL-graphics for the direct systems certified according to the DO-178B standard).

VAPS XT implements development of electronic displays and points of control, simulators of devices, digital panel boards and other elements of cabins of aircrafts. The graphics editor for design of displays of devices without having to write any code, with an opportunity to operate with the standard and created again objects of reuse is its part. The built-in editor of UML serves for simultaneous design of displays and logic of system operation. VAPS XT also allows to develop interfaces and cabins of airplanes according to the ARINC 661 standard.

The qualified environment of VAPSXT-178 performs the same functions and serves for creation of the aviation HMI certified according to the DO-178B/C standard. It includes the qualified palette of objects for the designer, the qualified generator of the code (CODE nGEN), the certified Runtime libraries, the generator of documents (DOC nGEN). The certified packet of artifacts of DO-178B, including requirements, design, tests and reports is available.

SeaWind-178 is scalable OpenGL-graphics for the applications certified on DO-178B. The implementation of API OpenGL SC (Safety critical) which is specially developed for the responsible aviation systems is intended to minimize difficulties when developing 2D - and 3D-applications and to provide a functionality maximum. Important feature is support of the hardware conforming to requirements of DO-254.

The certified graphics of PRESAGIS allows to build the solutions certified on the highest level A of the DO-178B standard and is expected work under control of such OSRV as LynxOS-178, VxWorks 653, Integrity-178 and also can be ported on other platforms.

Applying software of PRESAGIS company, developers are hit in the hands the powerful, convenient and fulfilled tool for creation of proprietary graphic applications and can be focused on a basic process of development that accelerates development and increases quality of both the process, and an end product. And existence of the packets allowing to build the certified solutions is a basis of success of creation of a similar system.
