Companies to demonstrate FACE™ certified products in Maryland
The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Consortium and LDRA are pleased to announce a ground breaking Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) FACE Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) and Exhibition, to be held on October 17, 2017 at the Holiday Inn Solomons Conference Center and Marina in Solomons, MD.
The event follows the launch of the FACE Conformance Program, the subsequent momentum of major organizations achieving FACE Conformance, and the recent procurement pull from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Army. It presents another opportunity for FACE Consortium members to showcase their efforts toward developing certified FACE conformant products and tools that promote reusable war-fighting capabilities for the services.
The Open Group FACE Consortium is a government and industry partnership formed to define an open avionics environment for all military airborne platform types. It has grown into an aviation-focused professional group made up of industry suppliers, customers and users. It provides a vendor-neutral forum for industry and government to work together to develop and consolidate the open standards, best practices, guidance documents and business strategy that promote acquisition of affordable software systems, innovation and rapid integration of portable capabilities across global defense programs, and higher efficiency to deploy capabilities.
LDRA are an active contributor to the FACE Consortium, and their verification workflow and software analysis technologies are instrumental to the deployment of safety and security-critical airborne applications, including those calling out FACE requirements. LDRA will be demonstrating how its products help software development teams in the FACE conformance workflow.
Our hosts from NAVAIR have put together a great line-up of speakers including a keynote by Ms. Leslie D. Taylor, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Executive Director. Attendees will also hear presentations from industry and government, detailing the positive impact of FACE adoption for buyers (end users), suppliers, integrators, and business representatives, including both Business and Technical lessons learned.
The event will run throughout the day, with over 30 partners from industry and government showcasing examples of products and tools that are certified conformant to or are aligned with the FACE Technical Standard.
