Hardware Assurance DO-254

Hardware design assurance proves integrity for airborne electronic hardware across the life cycle — especially custom devices such as FPGAs, ASICs and PLDs where AC / AMC 20-152A expectations apply.

We help structure DO-254 / ED-80 programs so classification, DAL, life-cycle data and CEH packs match what primes and authorities need to review.

Custom-device assurance and CEH evidence sized to the allocated hardware DAL.

Hardware planning and classification

  • Simple vs complex device classification
  • PHAC and hardware life-cycle data structure
  • DAL-driven objective selection and independence considerations
  • Alignment with AC / AMC 20-152A for custom devices

Design assurance execution

  • Requirements through implementation and transition to production
  • Elemental analysis / HDL coverage approaches where applicable
  • Configuration control and problem reporting
  • Interfaces with DO-178C software and ARP4754B system processes

CEH data packs

  • Hardware life-cycle data packaging for primes
  • Certification authority review support
  • Gap closure against customer CEH checklists
