Which systems need to be certified under DO-178B?

Under the Global Aviation Traffic Management (GATM) agreement, all commercial airborne systems have to comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for avionics and require DO-178B certification. In addition, all airborne military and space systems must also comply with DO-178B. All retrofits, as well as new airborne system designs, also require DO-178B certification. Note that GATM has international validity and applicability.
