Case Studies

Real-world examples of how Mach Global Technologies delivers certification-ready solutions that meet the most demanding aerospace and defense requirements.

UH-60 Black Hawk Avionics Suite

Challenge

The client required a complete DO-178C Level A avionics software suite for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, including flight control, navigation, and mission systems. The project demanded zero tolerance for defects and full traceability from requirements to code.

Solution

Mach Global Technologies provided end-to-end software development services, including requirements analysis, architecture design, coding, and verification. Our team implemented model-based development using SCADE and conducted comprehensive testing with full structural coverage using LDRA.

Results

100% DO-178C Level A compliance
Zero critical defects in FAA audit
Automated testing reduced validation time by 40%
Full structural coverage achieved

Impact

The avionics suite was certified on schedule and is now deployed in active military operations. Our audit-ready deliverables enabled the client to pass FAA certification without rework, saving months of development time and reducing overall program costs.

Avibus Flight Display Systems

Challenge

A leading avionics manufacturer needed to develop a next-generation flight display system compliant with DO-254 Level A for hardware and DO-178C Level A for software. The system required integration with multiple ARINC 429 data buses and real-time graphics rendering.

Solution

Our team designed and developed the complete hardware and software architecture, including FPGA development for data bus interfaces, embedded software for graphics rendering, and comprehensive verification plans. We utilized Simulink for model-based design and VectorCAST for software testing.

Results

Dual DO-254/DO-178C Level A certification
30% faster rendering performance
Seamless integration with existing avionics
Zero post-certification issues

Impact

The flight display system is now in production and installed in commercial aircraft worldwide. Our comprehensive documentation and audit-ready artifacts enabled the client to achieve EASA certification with minimal review cycles, accelerating their time-to-market.

Data Acquisition Systems

Challenge

The client needed a high-speed data acquisition system for flight test programs, capable of capturing and processing data from hundreds of sensors in real-time. The system required DO-178C Level C certification and integration with legacy test equipment.

Solution

We developed a modular data acquisition platform with custom hardware interfaces and real-time processing software. Our solution included automated test scripts for validation, comprehensive data logging, and analysis tools. The system was designed for scalability and future expansion.

Results

Real-time processing of 500+ channels
DO-178C Level C certification achieved
50% reduction in test setup time
Seamless legacy system integration

Impact

The data acquisition system has become the standard platform for the client's flight test programs, supporting multiple aircraft development projects. Our modular design enabled rapid deployment across different test configurations, significantly reducing program costs and improving data quality.

Proven Track Record

Our case studies demonstrate more than technical capability—they prove our commitment to delivering certification-ready solutions that pass audits the first time. From DO-178C software to DO-254 hardware, from commercial aircraft to military helicopters, we've consistently delivered projects that meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
