Russia's State Forest Management has already placed an order for fifty of the aircraft for fighting forest fires. The BE-200 is capable of refilling its water tanks by skimming across a water surface. The aircraft will also be changed into a passenger version for regional transport and other configurations that require amphibious capabilities.
Anticipating orders from the United States and other countries needing the BE-200's unique capabilities, Beriev wanted the latest in avionics hardware and software technology. The aircraft also features state-of-the-art avionics technology using DDC-I's Ada Run-Time System software technology for the Intel 80486. Beriev required that the avionics technology meet all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements for certification.
Allied Signal selected DDC-I Ada run-time technology after an extensive market evaluation. DDC-I's products and support were selected based on the company's experience in high-performance runtime systems software technology, documentation, and testing necessary to meet the stringent requirements for FAA certification to Level A requirements under DO-178A and DO-178B (FAA guideline documents for avionics software).
Allied Signal uses the DDC-I Ada Run-Time System technology to upgrade and replace past programming technology written in assembler code. The original program involved converting from older machine- and assembly-language software technology to more maintainable and reusable software technology based on Ada.
