Industry’s first safety-certifiable VPX SBC to feature 13th Gen Intel processors offered by Curtiss-Wright
ASHBURN, Va. - April 24, 2024 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division today announced the expansion of its family of DO-254 safety-certifiable single board computers (SBC) with the introduction of its first Intel® architecture-based design. The new V3-1222 processor module is the embedded industry’s first to feature the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor for avionics. The module is supported by the Intel® Airworthiness Evidence Package and is housed on a rugged 3U VPX board designed for DO-254 Design Assurance Level (DAL) A safety-certifiable applications. To ease, speed and lower the cost of developing safety-certifiable avionics applications, the V3-1222 processor board is supported with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-available AC/AMC 20-152A DAL A artifacts.
The new processor board significantly speeds the development of safety-certifiable avionics solutions, reduces program risk and accelerates time-to-deployment by providing system integrators with the board level data artifacts needed to support a system level avionics certification process. The availability of proven, safety-certifiable COTS data artifacts, with no required NRE, can save customers millions of dollars and multiple years of development typically required to develop a safety-certifiable processor and data artifacts from the ground up.
