Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) Conformance Tool

Tucson Embedded Systems, Inc. (TES) proposes a novel approach to the Navy SBIR 2016.2Topic N162-086 Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) Conformance Tool that reduces risk by building upon our existing proven toolset architecture and by using key personnel that have considerable experience in standards conformance, model based engineering, conformance verification tools, architecture development, and a professional stake in the advancement of the HOST Standard. HOST Conformance is defined as 100 percent compliance with all HOST requirements and identifies two products to be verified for conformance: Tier 3 Specifications and products developed to those specifications. TES understands and has been involved in the detailed conformance needs of conformance and has significant lessons learned that can be applied to HOST conformance process and tooling. As such, our response mitigates risk and increases feasibility and success by exposing, analyzing, documenting, and resolving the needs of the HOST component developers and military purchasers. Feasibility is further increased by leveraging the AWESUM Architecture. TES is committing to this project resources with significant and varying interest and experience in FACE Verification Authority conformance, hardware verification, National Instruments LabView, OpenVPX (VITA 65) standard, model-based engineering, real-time embedded systems and tool development, and the FACE Technical
