NASA-Grade LabVIEW Engineering

No, our NASA Compliance Package is valuable for any organization developing mission-critical LabVIEW applications that require high reliability, thorough testing, and formal development processes. While it was developed based on our experience with NASA projects, the procedures and practices are applicable to many high-reliability applications in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors.

JKI's SDP was originally developed for a Class C, non-safety-critical application, but can easily be adapted to apply for rigorous Class A requirements, or can be relaxed to streamline non safety critical applications of any class.

Absolutely. We work with you to tailor the compliance package to your specific project requirements while ensuring all applicable NASA requirements are met. The tailoring process is actually built into the NPR 7150.2D standard itself, and our package includes the procedures for properly documenting and getting approval for tailored requirements.

JKI's implementation of SWE-134 for safety-critical software includes LabVIEW-specific patterns for initialization to known safe states, integrity checking on inputs/outputs, and prerequisite checks prior to execution of safety-critical commands. Our template includes pre-built VIs that implement these requirements using LabVIEW's native error handling and state machine architecture.

For Class C software under NPR 7150.2D, JKI provides templates for all required documentation including Software Development Plan (SDP), Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Software Design Description (SDD), Software Test Plan (STP), and Software Version Description (SVD). These templates are specifically adapted for LabVIEW development while maintaining full compliance with NASA standards.
