BOHEMIA, NY – March 2023 -- North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAI), a leading supplier of embedded computing solutions and power supplies, is proud to announce that its ARINC-429 I/O Services Segment (IOSS) Unit of Conformance (UoC) software has achieved FACE® Technical Standard conformance. This milestone represents NAI’s fourth FACE® conformant UoC and is a significant achievement for the company’s COSA® configurable product line.
The ARINC-429 solution supports aircraft avionics data transfer using a self-clocking, self-synchronizing data bus protocol. Messages are transmitted at 12.5 or 100 kbit/s, eliminating the need to transmit clocking data and enabling reliable communication across avionics systems.
NAI’s COSA® architecture combines portable, FACE® conformant software with a modular open systems hardware architecture, delivering exceptional flexibility and scalability. This approach allows customers to efficiently integrate NAI solutions into existing systems while adhering to open standards. With the COSA® product line, customers can select from a wide range of configurable modules that work seamlessly together, enabling customized solutions without the cost and complexity of extensive custom development.
NAI’s continued achievement of FACE® conformance milestones, combined with its commitment to customer support, reinforces the company’s position as a leading provider of embedded computing solutions for aerospace and defense applications.
NAI’s ARINC 429/575 smart function modules provide up to twelve programmable channels. ARINC 429 is a data transfer standard for aircraft avionics. ARINC 575 is an equipment characteristic for a Digital Air Data System (DADS) that provides essential air-data information for displays, autopilots, and other flight controls and instrumentation on commercial and transport-type aircraft. ARINC 568/579 smart function modules provides a communications interface with 2 channels. ARINC 568 is an equipment characteristic for Distance Measurement Equipment (DME). ARINC 579 is an equipment characteristic for a VHF Omnidirectional Radio range (VOR) short range navigation system.
