North Atlantic Industries Achieves FACE® Conformance for its ARINC-429 IOSS UoC

BOHEMIA, NY – March 2023 --  North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAI), a leading supplier of embedded computing solutions and power supplies, is proud to announce that its ARINC-429 I/O Services Segment (IOSS) Unit of Conformance (UoC) software has achieved FACE® Technical Standard conformance. This milestone represents NAI’s fourth FACE® conformant UoC and is a significant achievement for the company’s COSA® configurable product line.

The ARINC-429 solution supports aircraft avionics data transfer using a self-clocking, self-synchronizing data bus protocol. Messages are transmitted at 12.5 or 100 kbit/s, eliminating the need to transmit clocking data and enabling reliable communication across avionics systems.

NAI’s COSA® architecture combines portable, FACE® conformant software with a modular open systems hardware architecture, delivering exceptional flexibility and scalability. This approach allows customers to efficiently integrate NAI solutions into existing systems while adhering to open standards. With the COSA® product line, customers can select from a wide range of configurable modules that work seamlessly together, enabling customized solutions without the cost and complexity of extensive custom development.

NAI’s continued achievement of FACE® conformance milestones, combined with its commitment to customer support, reinforces the company’s position as a leading provider of embedded computing solutions for aerospace and defense applications.

NAI is a leading independent supplier of embedded computing, Input/Output, communications, measurement, simulation, power and systems products for commercial, industrial and military applications built on a Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®). COSA offers the greatest modularity, flexibility, adaptability and configurability in the industry that accelerates our customers’ time-to-mission. COSA supports a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) that delivers the best of both worlds: custom solutions from COTS components with No NRE. For over 50 years, companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon have leveraged NAI’s capabilities to meet the demanding requirements of a wide range of processing, I/O and communication-centric applications, and do so with uncompromising quality, efficiency and responsiveness.
