Canadian aerospace research and development and evaluation company Marinvent has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Russian State Research Institute of Aviation Systems (GosNiias) to collaborate on western approval of Russian-produced and certified integrated modular avionics for commercial aircraft. Under the MOU, Marinvent will work with Russia’s AR Mak (Interstate Aviation Committee), which is responsible for certification, and GosNiias on meeting western certification standards. Marinvent’s Web-based CertPro software will be used to manage the certification process.
