Mission Critical Systems

Disciplined development process makes the difference...

If you are in the business of developing mission critical systems , read –airborne, medical and automotive complex electronic hardware, or if you are a relatively new entrant into the industry, then you certainly appreciate that achieving first-time compliance in certification is vital to your business.

At Pragam, we can help you apply the de-facto DO-254 standard and DO-178 to your ASIC / FPGA / PLD life cycle and Embedded SW development in the most effective manner.

Our experience with several life cycles combined with our expertise in understanding the needs of the certification authorities (primarily FAA and JAA) (as understood from multiple SOI audits), allows us to deliver the right product and the optimal set of artifacts to achieve compliance, without the overkill.

Independent Design and Verification Services

We focus on design assurance strategies at DALs A, B and C, offering independence during the execution of requirements validation, planning, design and supporting processes (V&V, CM and QA). We can help you with the creation of certification artifacts- right from the PHAC to the Design / Verification Traceability and all the way to the HAS! Pragam also offers extensive support for obsolescence management and technology migration.

We lay emphasis on providing support for addressing the Safety aspects, Architecture Mitigation, Tool Qualification, Elemental Analysis and Formal Methods.

We can work with your teams to identify the gaps in the processes or weaknesses in the amount of process rigor applied to ensure compliance. We will conduct “pre-DER” audits to check for preparedness and compliance. For example – Pragam can help with the definition of the Design Life Cycle, Guidelines and Standards.
