Defense/Aerospace SW Seminar Scheduled for March 29 at Daejeon Convention Center
Sharing Weapon System SW Development Solutions and Application Cases

MDS Technology (CEO Jang Myeong-seop), a company specializing in embedded solutions, announced that it will hold the '2017 Defense/Aerospace Software Technology Seminar' at the Daejeon Convention Center on the 29th to introduce solutions and application cases for efficient weapon system software development.

With the recent IT transformation of the battlefield environment, the proportion of embedded software in weapon systems is increasing day by day. The government is also pursuing various policies and systems aimed at improving development efficiency and strengthening the quality of weapon system software.

Accordingly, MDS Technology is holding its fifth seminar this year to emphasize the importance of weapon system software and present practical measures to enhance software quality competitiveness. The company plans to share solutions and application examples for efficient weapon system software development with developers from defense research institutions and defense contractors.

Notably, IBM Korea will present on requirements verification and system design methods utilizing model-based system engineering, while LIG Nex1 will present case studies of on-site evaluations based on the software reliability testing business process.

The Army General Maintenance Depot plans to introduce the current status of the Army's embedded software management system. In particular, Hyundai Rotem will present the case of MDS Technology's real-time operating system NEOS, which was successfully installed on the FA-50 prototype and completed flight testing for the first time in Korea, being applied to the K2 tank performance improvement project. We also plan to share examples of communication middleware (NeoDDS) applied in various civilian sectors, including railway sensor networks and power management systems, as well as naval combat systems, maritime patrol aircraft mission equipment systems, and submarine performance verification equipment in the defense and aviation fields.

Jang Myeong-seop, CEO of MDS Technology, stated, “Efficient and systematic development from the initial stages is essential to enhancing the reliability and quality competitiveness of weapon system software.” He added, “I hope this seminar serves as an opportunity to share various case studies applied in the defense sector and to assess the current status and future potential of domestically produced system software.”

Meanwhile, this seminar, consisting of three tracks, is sponsored by the Defense Software Research Group of the Korea Information Science Society and the Embedded Software & Systems Industry Association, and free attendance is available after pre-registering on the website (http://www.mdstec.com/seminar).
