Building in flight-safety certification into secure,
high-performance, mission-critical processing subsystems
The EGNOS common computing platform (EECP) case study
Introduction
Mercury, contracted by Airbus D&S is supplying processing subsystems as part of the European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) common computing platform (EECP). These subsystems
are being deployed across Europe under the EGNOS V3 program.
ECCP subsystems are based on Mercury's BuiltSAFE ROCK2 open system processing architecture, which
is designed for safety certifiable and mission-critical compute applications. ECCP processing subsystems
are in production and are being deployed in multiple airborne and ground installations. They feature safety
Design Assurance Level (DAL) levels ranging from DAL-C to the highest, DAL-A.
The work described above was carried out "with funding of the European Union"
