43 | 43 | It engages a unique [real-time concurrent programming framework][RTP] improving software robustness. As a result, allowing developers to avoid hard-to-discover errors at the software testing stage. Finally it also greatly reduces development cost, which is of crucial importance because the software has a hundred thousand lines of code. The system was in service for 15 years and no incident was reported. In general., Flight Inspection Systems are offered only by a few companies in the world and they are used for periodical airborne evaluation of accuracy and performance of ground navigation facilities such as NDB, VOR, DME, ILS, and radars. The solution was awarded a gold medal at the International Fair of Aviation and Astronautics AeroInterLot 1996. |
