About TTTECH Aerospace
TTTECH Aerospace provides deterministic embedded network and platform solutions for aviation and space applications
TTTECH Aerospace is the business entity within TTTECH Group which focuses on the global aerospace and defense markets. Our vision is to provide our customers transformative avionics core systems. They trust our know-how in functional safety and our technologies for fault-tolerance and for more cost-efficient incremental qualification.
Certified and safe solutions for the aviation market
TTTECH Aerospace has been engaged in the aviation market since 1998. We typically provide development, testing and flight equipment to system suppliers which need to safely connect their systems to an on-board network based on Ethernet (ARINC 664 part 7, also known as AFDX®, TTEthernet® or other) or want to optimize the intra-system data communication for example with TTP® or a deterministic switch. We cover the full value chain from chip IP and software development to system qualification/certification up to the highest design assurance level. See the relevant case studies like the one on the Airbus A220.
Simplified spacecraft software and system architectures
In recent years space has become one of our key markets. Here we had to master radiation-hardening and space product assurance standards complementing our proven cross-industry technologies and aviation know-how. As a result we now provide highly reliable, radiation-hardened components and highly integrated modules/units to various programs, both commercial and governmental. Highlights are the human-rated NASA Orion (including the European Service Module “ESM”) and Lunar Gateway, but we are also strongly present in space transportation where for example the Ariane 6, Europe’s flagship launch vehicle, relies on a fault-tolerant TTEthernet® data network. Main customer benefits lie in modularity and scalability – massively decreasing integration and qualification efforts and leading to significant lifecycle savings in on-board software. NASA and its international space agency partners have therefore baselined TTEthernet® in the “International Avionics Systems Interoperability Standards (IASIS)” for programs like the Lunar Gateway and future deep space missions.
