SCADE Suite®

The Standard for the Development of Safety-Critical Embedded Software in Aerospace & Defense, Rail Transportation, Energy and Heavy Equipment Industries

Designed for the Highest Levels of Quality and Safety

Code generation qualifiable for DO-178B (up to Level A), certifiable for IEC 61508 certified at SIL 3 and EN 50128 certified at SIL 3/4

  • Coding errors are eliminated.
  • Designs are verified earlier in the project, eliminating late-stage bug discovery.
  • KCG Code Generator qualification eliminates the need for low level testing.
  • KCG Code Generator enables a rapid return on investment.
  • KCG Code Generator is qualified on Windows platforms.
  • KCG Certification Kits provide documentation such as the Tool Qualification Plan (TQP) and the Tool Accomplishment Summary (TAS) to facilitate your program certification.

Across-the-board Quality and Productivity

  • Overall model-based software development support, from requirements to target.
  • Rigorous semantics of modeling, proven code generation algorithms, and formal proof technology wrapped in a user-friendly tool.
  • Strong quality and efficiency improvement for specifications capture, documentation and QA (quality assurance) rules enforcement.
  • Clean formalization of your in-house knowledge, enabling IP (intellectual property) management at the model level.

Rooted in 10 Years of Successful Industrial Applications

SCADE Suite, including the SCADE KCG Qualified Code Generator, is used by AIRBUS and many of its main suppliers for the development of most of the A380 and A400M critical on board software, and for the A340-500/600 Secondary Flying Command System, aircraft in operationnal use since August 2002.
