Key Challenges in Implementation

Aerospace programs deal with extreme complexity, long development cycles, and a massive audit burden. Ensuring compliance with DO-178C or DO-254 requires complete traceability, from high-level requirements to design, code, test evidence, anomalies, and safety analyses. Teams often suffer from tool fragmentation: system engineers use one platform, hardware another, software another, and V&V teams yet another. This fragmentation increases certification risks and slows execution. Any missing evidence or outdated document can delay flight approvals by months. Program managers struggle to synchronize suppliers, while quality teams must constantly ensure readiness for audits by EASA, FAA, or primes.

Relevant Certifications & Standards

• DO-178C – Software assurance for airborne systems
• DO-254 – Hardware design assurance
• ARP4754A – Systems engineering
• ARP4761 – Safety assessment
• EASA Part 21 – Certification of aircraft products
• AS9100 – Quality management

Solution

Vecify unifies the entire aerospace engineering stack, systems, hardware, software, and V&V, in a single compliance-ready model. It automatically maintains DO-178C/DO-254 traceability, detects broken links, and connects safety analyses from ARP4754A/ARP4761 to design and test evidence. Program managers gain real-time progress visibility across primes and suppliers, while quality leaders always know the project is audit-ready. With Vecify, teams eliminate documentation surprises that delay flight certification and gain the rigor aerospace demands without slowing execution.
