Case Study: CMC Electronics accelerates compliant flight systems development with IBM Rational Rhapsody

CMC Electronics: Fast, Streamlined, Compliant Development of Next-Generation Flight Management Systems

CMC Electronics, a manufacturer of flight management systems for the aerospace industry, sought to modernize its development process. To comply with aviation safety standards and support a new Product Line Engineering approach, the company needed a new object-oriented, model-based process and turned to Technology Evaluation Centers for a solution involving IBM Rational Rhapsody.

Technology Evaluation Centers provided CMC Electronics with a suite of IBM Rational tools to create a modern, collaborative development environment. This solution, which automated testing and documentation, resulted in accelerated development, more portable and reusable components, a significant reduction in defects, and streamlined compliance with aviation industry standards.
