Unique capabilities resulting in unique customer advantages

A solid technological foundation focused on customers needs, from project development to product certification and full service and maintenance.

DO-178B compliant software design

Barco's software development process is fully compliant with the DO-178B guidelines, as specified by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics. By rigorously applying these guidelines, Barco is able to provide its customers with thoroughly tested, fail-safe avionics software.

 

DO-254 compliant hardware design

To establish deployment guidelines for avionics hardware, the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics has developed the DO-254 standard. Barco's engineering teams apply the DO-254 guidelines throughout the development process of all avionics display solutions.

Extensive in-house testing

Barco's facilities are fully equipped for in-house design, development, testing and manufacturing. In-house testing facilities include clima-rooms (temperature, humidity and altitude testing), vibration tables, burn-in rooms and EMC test chambers. In addition, Highly Accelerated Lifetime Testing (HALT) is used to study behavior, increase lifetime and improve reliability. All these in-house facilities allow Barco to rapidly develop reliable products that meet all avionics environmental requirements.

Customers receive a Certificate of Conformity which guarantees that the product complies with their specific needs and has been tested in accordance with the conditions and requirements of the order.

LCD glass ruggedization

Barco has developed unique bonding capabilities to protect the LCDs of its display solutions against extreme environmental conditions (temperature, shock, vibration, humidity, EMI,...) and to significantly improve optical performance and protection against condensation. As a result, Barco's avionics displays perform excellently under all conditions.
