Abstract

In 1992, Texas Instruments (TI) began executing the Ultra-Reliable Digital Avionics (URDA) contract sponsored by Wright Laboratory. Because of congressional action, the URDA program was suspended and is being restructured at the time of this writing. The purpose of the TI URDA program is to develop an advanced development module (ADM), which is a repackaging of two of TI´s Aladdin basic processing modules (BPMs) into a SEM-E module format. This paper discusses the software-related aspects and proposed demonstration to be executed as part of the TI URDA program before program suspension/restructure
