San Diego, USA, August 16, 2005— Aonix®, a provider of safety critical and mission critical software solutions, announces that Aversan, a Canadian company offering real-time embedded solutions, selected Aonix ObjectAda Raven safety-critical Ada95 environment, certifiable for DO-178B Level A certification, and AdaCAST testing tools. Aonix products will be used to support Aversan’s work on the F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter) PTMSC Controller software design and embedded test software design and verification. Aversan selected Aonix tools based on selection and specification of ObjectAda for safety critical software design to MIL-STD-490.

“DO-178B Level A certification requires the most stringent safety-critical requirements,” noted Ted Sherlock, Software Manager at Aversan. “When we evaluate a supplier’s technology, we are primarily concerned with the quality of the products, the responsiveness of the subcontractor, and whether the software is technically adequate to meet our needs. Aonix fulfilled all of these requirements”.

Aversan’s selection of Aonix tools for safety-critical software design continues Aonix’ long successful history of delivering certifiable applications to both commercial and government safety-critical projects in avionics, space, high speed rail, and nuclear industries. Aonix gained its solid reputation in the safety-critical field by designing tools that comply with market standards and has provided safety-critical solutions to a myriad of commercial and defense projects including International Space Station, Boeing 777, Rafale Multi-Role Combat Fighter, C130-J Hercules, Airbus A 330-340, and NH90 Helicopter.
