Enea Announces Turnkey DO-254 Safety-Critical Design and Certification Services; Helps Avionics Design Teams Optimize DO-254 Hardware Design, Development, Verification, Deployment and Certification Processes.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Enea (STO:ENEA), the world leader in advanced device software, today announced that it will offer turnkey engineering services to designers of DO-254-compliant safety-critical systems. Enea will provide complete life cycle DO-254 services, from mastery of DO-254 processes through DO-254-compliant hardware development, verification, certification, deployment and maintenance.

RTCA DO-254, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware, is a standard for complex electronic hardware development, and the FAA benchmark for safety-critical avionics hardware. The DO-254 standard addresses all aspects of hardware design assurance throughout the hardware design life cycle, including the planning process, development process, CM process, quality assurance process, certification liaison, and hardware life cycle data.

"Enea is the largest and most successful safety-critical consulting and training company in North America, with over 2,000 person-years of expertise in the DO-178B and DO-254 realm," said Connie Beane, Enea's director of avionics. "Our software engineers and DERs provide full life cycle services, and have the expertise needed to help avionics designers optimize all phases of the hardware evaluation, selection, development, verification, certification, deployment and maintenance process."

Enea's DO-254 processes provide the templates/framework needed to customize hardware development projects to meet the process requirements of DO-254, including Design Assurance Levels A and B. Enea provides customization for all of the hardware life cycle processes needed to comply with DO-254, including:

1. Hardware Planning Processes

2. Hardware Development Processes

3. Correctness, Confidence and Control Processes

Enea's professional services team works hand in hand with avionics system designers to help them optimize their DO-254 processes and enhance scheduling efficiency while reducing risk and cost. Enea's resident DER (Designated Engineering Representative) expert can also help avionics design teams communicate with the FAA ACO (Aircraft Certification Office) and assist them in passing an FAA or DER audit the first time with integrity.
