For over 17 years S-PLANE Automation has been delivering comprehensive, certification-ready Airborne Control and Automation, Communication, Ground Control and Simulation solutions for manned, unmanned and optionally piloted aircraft.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES

For more than 17 years S-PLANE has assisted customers to define and develop system architectures for aircraft ranging from a few hundred kilogram to tens of tons of GMTOW. We help to balance development risk, cost, and time by supplying our products, as well as experienced technical expertise, project support, and safety assessment inputs. We support and guide customers in applying standards-based systems engineering practices appropriate to the development, resulting in a complete and well-defined system architecture with all necessary planning documents, system requirements, system safety assessment data, conceptual design data and a project plan.

PROCESSES & QUALITY

Developments are guided by Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) guidelines ARP-4754A and ARP-4761 for system-level design and safety, RTCA DO-178C and its supporting supplements DO-330 through DO-333 for software, while RTCA DO-254 is used for hardware design, with DO-160 for environmental qualification. System engineering processes are tailored to meet customer needs and to suit their development, from best-practice design through to fully certified systems at various Design Assurance Levels. This adaptable approach helps customers manage cost and schedule while achieving certification goals and maintaining high levels of safety and reliability.

PROJECT SUPPORT

PROJECT SUPPORT S-PLANE supports customers through every stage of system design, sub-system selection, integration, testing and operation, as well as certification, and training to meet civil and military airworthiness standards. This extends to manned and unmanned ISR systems, unmanned transport systems, as well as fly-by-wire and automation for advanced air mobility aircraft. We offer expert guidance to help assess whether specific solutions will meet their medium- and long-term needs. We analyse each customer’s requirements and recommend system and sub-system configurations that integrate seamlessly with the S-PLANE X-KIT. This gets projects done faster and at minimum risk. We then support customers to integrate the X-KIT and other sub-systems into their aircraft and ground control stations, and to test and certify these installations.

TRAINING SERVICES

At S-PLANE we understand that our customers often need to be self-sufficient when it comes to key strategic capabilities within their organisations. S-PLANE provides several training modules to our customers to allow them to independently use, customise, and maintain key S-PLANE equipment and software.
