Avilution Enables Open Architectures at MOSA Summit 2024

National Harbor, MD (June 17-18, 2024) – Avilution successfully demonstrates its XFS software at the 2024 MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo at the U.S. Army Program Executive Office (PEO) - Aviation’s booth. 

Avilution is proud to support PEO Aviation in its MOSA endeavors. As part of our support, we enable XFS to run natively on or in conjunction with: North Atlantic Industries’ SIU34S computer; L3Harris’ PANTHR Large Area Display (LAD); Collins AFD-3200 ARINC-661 Adaptive Flight Display (AFD); as well as the UH-60V and CH-47F Cockpit Display Units (CDUs). Additionally, both the 60V & 47F CDUs have 95% reuse of XFS code between them. XFS’ native graphics flight display is also driving one side of L3Harris’ PANTHR LAD.

From each of the 4 control interfaces/displays, XFS allows control of the same L3Harris PRC-167 radio and a suite of Electronic Circuit Breakers (ECBs) across the PEO Aviation enabled digital backbone showcasing what is possible with Avilution’s MOSA enabling software.

Avilution's eXtensible Flight System (XFS) takes an innovative configuration-based approach that allows rapid integration of new components into both open and closed environments. This enables quick problem-solving while reducing costs and accelerating the deployment of new capabilities for Aviators.

XFS provides a novel approach to avionics and mission systems integration that addresses Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA) and software-defined solutions. Rather than requiring custom software changes for each new capability like traditional systems, XFS is built more like a spreadsheet application that can frequently be adapted to requirements changes without changes to software source code or binaries, leading to a substantially reduced cost and schedule impact for any required recertification efforts. This makes platforms using XFS more adaptable to pressing operational requirements.
