The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) is an open real-time standard for making safety-critical computing operations more robust, interoperable, portable and secure in the aerospace domain. The FACE approach is a government-industry software standard and business strategy for acquisition of affordable software systems that promotes innovation and rapid integration of portable capabilities across programs, including standardized approaches for using open standards within avionics systems and standards that support a robust architecture and enable quality software development for portability of applications across multiple FACE systems and vendors. What are the latest standards and how are the FACE standards developing for future programs? How do these standards affect programs such as Pyramid and ECOA?
