Years avionics software experience
Highest design assurance level capability
Full lifecycle — dev, V&V, certification
Bengaluru engineering hub, US presence
Glidepath Technologies is a specialized avionics engineering firm headquartered in Bengaluru, India, with extensive experience supporting US aerospace programs.
Our practice is built entirely around DO-178C software certification, verification and validation, and safety-critical embedded systems. It is not a capability we offer on the side; it is the core of who we are.
We function as a true extension of your engineering organization, deeply embedded in your program, fluent in your regulatory environment, and held to the same accountability as your internal team.
From initial planning through final DER review, we guide your program through the full certification lifecycle, navigating FAA, EASA, and DGCA regulatory requirements with the rigor and traceability that airworthiness authorities demand. Our compliance frameworks are built not just to satisfy audits, but to withstand them, ensuring your software earns its certification on schedule, without surprises.
Our ServicesEvery artifact — SDP, SVP, SAS, SRS, test cases — authored to survive DER and FAA scrutiny.
Fully independent software verification per DO-178C Table A-7, including structural coverage analysis to MC/DC level.
Real-world experience with safety-critical embedded targets — from requirements capture through low-level tests on actual hardware, not just simulation.
Cost-optimised offshore delivery without sacrificing quality, traceability, or schedule control — giving US and European programs access to senior DO-178C talent at a sustainable engagement model.
End-to-end DO-178C engineering services — from planning through certification data package.
Certification planning that sets the program up for first-pass approval. We author SDP, SVP, SCMP, SQAP aligned to the agreed DAL.
Requirements-based embedded software development for avionics LRUs. MISRA-C compliant, traceability-first coding practice.
Independent software V&V including unit test, SSIT, HSIT and structural coverage analysis to MC/DC for DAL A.
DER coordination, SOI audits, compliance matrices and complete Software Accomplishment Summary preparation.
Design assurance for complex airborne electronic hardware — FPGA, CPLD, ASIC — per DO-254 guidelines.
ARP-4754A system development, safety assessment, and FDAL/IDAL allocation bridging aircraft and software levels.
We cover every stage of the DO-178C V-model — left side development, right side verification — with full traceability throughout.
ARP-4754A compliant system requirements, safety allocation and ICD definition
Full aircraft / system-level integration verification and validation
High-level requirements traceable to system requirements, reviewed per DO-178C
SSIT and HSIT execution, data/control coupling analysis
SAD, LLR, IDD — architecture reviewed for correctness, consistency and verifiability
Requirements-based unit test cases, host/target execution, structural coverage
MISRA-C compliant source code, peer-reviewed, configuration-managed, traceable to LLR. Coding standards verification included.
Our team has hands-on experience across all software design assurance levels required by DO-178C.
Failure may cause aircraft loss. Full MC/DC structural coverage required.
MC/DC coverageFailure may cause serious injury or reduced capability. Decision coverage.
Decision coverageFailure reduces operational capability. Statement coverage required.
Statement coverageFailure causes minor degradation. Reduced DO-178C objective set.
Reduced objectivesNo safety impact. No DO-178C objectives apply.
