| Presagis to offer Avionics community a complete embedded ARINC 661 solution |
| |
| Montreal, Canada- March 14, 2012 – Presagis, a leading provider of commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) modeling, simulation, and embedded graphics software, today announced that they have signed a reseller agreement with Flexible Software Solutions. The agreement enables Presagis to resell Flexible Software Solutions’ off-the-shelf User Application Accelerator (UA2) and User Application Emulator (UA Emulator), which work exclusively with Presagis VAPS XT ARINC 661 module, further supporting Presagis ability to offer the avionics community a complete solution for developing end-to-end embedded ARINC 661 systems. |

Adoption of the ARINC 661 standard, which aims to normalize the definition of a Cockpit Display System (CDS) and the communication between the CDS and User Applications which manage aircraft avionics functions, is increasing; however, there is relatively little expertise in the industry on how to successfully implement the standard. The availability of pre-integrated off-the-shelf tools that support organizations managing the complexities of ARINC 661 development out-of-box is a significant step forward. Through integrated modeling and automated code generation, development time, software errors, and overall project risk can be greatly reduced which can result in tremendous savings.

By reselling UA2 and UA Emulator, Presagis will be offering User Application (UA) development solutions for the ARINC 661 development environment, as well as specialized support for User Interface development for the aerospace and vetronics sectors. Moreover, Flexible Software Solutions’ Unified Modeling Language (UML) tool integration enables Presagis to be UML tool agnostic. This feature will enable Presagis to work with various UML tool vendors such as IBM Rational Rhapsody, Atego Artisan Studio, MathWorks Simulink, to name a few, allowing developers to use their preferred tools.

“We are very enthusiastic about the agreement with Presagis, a leading ARINC 661 COTS tool provider,” said Rob Harwood-Smith, Director, Flexible Software Solutions. “In combination with Presagis VAPS XT ARINC 661 module, UA2 enables system engineers to create User Application Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) interactions quickly, consistently, and accurately, without requiring extensive knowledge of the ARINC 661 protocols.”

“Flexible Software Solutions are the experts in facilitating demanding User Interface development projects, from the conception to delivery,” said Robert Kopersiewich, Vice President and Product Segment Lead of Embedded Graphics, Presagis. “Offering the avionics community a complete solution for developing end-to-end embedded ARINC 661 systems solidifies Presagis as the leader in the end-to-end embedded ARINC 661 market.”

Presagis VAPS XT is a full-featured and advanced software tool for the rapid development of dynamic, interactive graphical interfaces for safety and mission-critical avionics and embedded displays. VAPS XT offers unparalleled control and flexibility in the design of dynamic, interactive, real time HMIs and offers the necessary components for the development and certification of Widget Libraries and Cockpit Display Systems (CDS) in compliance with the ARINC 661 standard. Acting as an interface between VAPS XT and an off-the-shelf Unified Modeling Language (UML) logic tool UA2 is specifically designed for rapid and accurate ARINC 661 UA Development. The UA Emulator assists developers testing the CDS by exercising the real ARINC 661 messaging protocol. |
