Flying High with Verification Standard for Design Reliability
As drones become more commonplace, their compliance to DO-254 will increasingly be required.
The great thing about a standard is that once you decide to use it, your life as a designer is suddenly easier. Using a standard reduces the long list of choices and decisions that need to be made to get a working product out the door. It also gives assurance to the customer that you are following best practices of the industry.
A standard for the world of aviation electronics (avionics) is the RTCA/DO-254, Design Assurance Guidance For Airborne Electronic Hardware. It is a process assurance flow for civilian aerospace design of complex electronic hardware typically implemented using ASICs or big FPGAs. In the USA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that the DO-254 process is followed. In Europe there is an equivalent standard called EUROCAE ED-80.
