“Improving open avionics
standards, best practices and business models are critical to keeping costs down while fielding capabilities faster,” said George Graves, Chief Technology Officer of GECO. “We fully support the FACE consortium goal of affordable, reusable software, and we were proud to team with Arizona State University to host this important gathering.” Graves stressed that the consortium’s
approach of standardizing software standards “gives our customers access to the best value products by incorporating affordability through FACE principles.” FACE objectives include encouraging innovation and competition within the avionics industry, lowering implementation costs, and promoting the use of standard interfaces that will lead to reuse of capabilities. GECO is one of numerous
consortium members that represent all disciplines within the industry. The consortium also includes the Air Force Research Laboratory, NAVAIR and the U.S. Army PEO Aviation. GECO’s innovative products support numerous aerospace platforms, including the U.S. Air Force’s KC- 46A Pegasus tanker aircraft, the U.S. Army’s AH-64E Apache combat helicopter and commercial electronic flight instrumentation systems.
The FACE Technical Standard FACE Technical Standard is the
open avionics standard for making military computing operations more robust, interoperable, portable and secure. The standard enables developers to create and deploy a wide catalog of applications for use across the entire spectrum of military aviation systems through a common operating environment. The latest edition of the standard further promotes application interoperability and portability with enhanced requirements for exchanging data among FACE components and emphasis on defining common language requirements for the standard.
