Virtutech Simics provides a virtualized software development environment, minimizing the need to build multiple multi-million dollar test models of real flight hardware. Using Virtutech Simics, General Dynamics simulates satellite processors and other spacecraft avionics hardware so that the flight software cannot detect the difference from running on real production hardware. With simulation, developers have full control over the code for extensive and thorough testing.
"As software becomes more complex for mission-critical systems, it is essential to look at innovative techniques that meet today's rigorous development standards," said John Lambert, president and CEO of Virtutech. "Virtutech Simics provides the only way to create a comprehensive test platform that can easily scale across the whole project to meet the needs of all parties involved, while also providing testing capabilities beyond those in real hardware."
