Grupo Álava and OPAL-RT are hosting a webinar on HIL simulation for testing aerospace and NewSpace systems and controllers

Grupo Álava, in collaboration with our technology partner OPAL-RT, is pleased to announce the upcoming free webinar: “Innovative and Certification-Ready Testing of Aerospace Controllers Using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation.”

The event is designed for engineers, developers, and program managers in the aerospace industry who are looking to optimize their validation and certification processes.

The presentation will explore in depth how Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation has become an indispensable methodology for accelerating development timelines, significantly reducing costs, and expanding test coverage in critical control systems. It will demonstrate how HIL technology creates a robust virtual environment that allows key components to be tested and optimized under realistic conditions, ensuring their reliability, performance, and compliance with regulations such as DO-178.

Webinar agenda and key points:

In this 45-minute session, attendees will learn:

• The principles and advantages of HIL simulation as applied to the demanding development and testing programs in the aerospace industry.
• Success stories from companies that have managed to reduce their development time by 15% to 20% while doubling their test coverage.
• The methodology for obtaining DO-178 certification more efficiently through HIL testing.
• The latest technological advances in HIL simulation and their direct relevance to the industry.

Speakers:

The webinar will begin with opening remarks by José J. Pina, Head of Defense and Newspace Business Development at Grupo Álava. The keynote presentation will be delivered by Timo Roesch, Director of OPAL-RT’s Mobility Business Line in Europe. The Q&A session will be moderated by Francisco Aparici, Head of Testing at Grupo Álava.
