XSIM2\-SDK is a Software Development Kit \(SDK\) which provides a flexible, open\-architecture software development environment for fast\-tracking safety\-critical, real\-time software development for deployment on S\-PLANE hardware\.\ \
The XSIM2\-SDK builds on S\-PLANE’s Target Hardware by adding a Run\-Time Environment \(RTE\) on top of the Real\-time Operating System \(RTOS\), along with SDK libraries, tools and add\-ons to support and accelerate flight software development\. The Run\-Time Environment \(RTE\) is the heart of the XSIM2\-SDK, providing a structured framework that enables the connection and execution of RTE Software Components created via Model\-based Design \(MBD\) or traditional methods\. This gives clients the flexibility to develop custom software within a well\-established, safety\-certifiable software framework while leveraging proven S\-PLANE Software Components and Applications to fast\-track development\.\ \
The XSIM2\-SDK is compatible with S\-PLANE hardware including the NX\-FCU and X\-CUBE flight computers\. S\-PLANE’s flexible hardware architecture allows projects to scale and migrate across processors, operating systems and hardware platforms as project requirements evolve\. The XSIM2\-SDK extends this flexibility to the software, allowing both S\-PLANE software and custom developed software components to be used, added, removed or replaced as projects develop\.\ \
This flexibility provides a scalable software development environment that can evolve with programme requirements, helping teams adapt, integrate and accelerate their developments\.\ - [XSIM\-HILS](https://s-plane.com/products/xsim-hils/): \
XSIM\-HILS is the latest evolution of S\-PLANE’s hardware\-in\-the\-loop simulation \(HILS\) products\. Building on the proven reliability and performance of the HILS\-203R, XSIM\-HILS delivers even greater flexibility, enhanced configurability, and an unmatched quantity and diversity of I/O\.\ \
XSIM\-HILS is an advanced and comprehensive system\-wide hardware\-in\-the\-loop simulator engineered to meet the increasing complexity and performance requirements of modern airborne mission and flight\-critical systems through all stages of development, testing, and verification\. The XSIM\-HILS combines modular hardware, high\-performance simulation software and advanced processing power to create a real\-time testing environment that accurately replicates real\-world operating conditions\. XSIM\-HILS can be used for both subsystem and full system testing, verification and validation, qualification and integration, making it ideal for use throughout the development and maintenance life cycle\.\ \
The simulator integrates seamlessly with S\-PLANE‘s X\-Series and NX\-Series flight and mission computers, while also maintaining compatibility with third\-party equipment\. It thereby enables HILS of flight\-critical sub\-systems \(such as flight computers\) and mission\-critical sub\-systems \(such as ISR payloads and mission computers\)\. XSIM\-HILS is further supported by XSIM\-Workbench, a Windows\-hosted application which allows users to control simulations, monitor performance in real time, trigger events, and download log data after execution\. Users can simulate various operational scenarios including environmental disturbances and failure modes and conditions\. These events can be scripted or triggered live during simulations to evaluate system responses under challenging conditions\.\ \
XSIM\-HILS includes optional model libraries covering aircraft dynamics, sensors, actuators, propulsion systems, environmental effects and ISR mission payloads, enabling rapid builds of system and subsystem simulations\. Users can also develop and integrate their own custom models, offering flexibility for specialised hardware, software, or mission\-specific requirements\.\ \
XSIM\-HILS is available in both development and integration configurations, with each variant supporting desktop use and rack\-mounted installation\. The development version provides easy access to individual ports for engineering flexibility, while the integration version uses concentrated industry\-standard connectors for seamless application in integration and production facilities\. Supporting up to four I/O port expansion units at once, with three I/O configuration options to choose from, XSIM\-HILS has unparalleled I/O quantity and diversity which can scale to meet the demands of increasingly complex systems, helping to reduce costs, improve safety, and dramatically reduce time to deployment\.\ - [X\-ADT](https://s-plane.com/products/x-adt/): \
S\-PLANE’s groundbreaking X\-ADT is a compact, all\-in\-one solution designed to optimise your airborne ISR operations\. This rugged, reliable, and self\-contained subsystem combines payload control, SDI video encoding, onboard storage, communications management, I/O concentration, encryption, video transcoding, and network switching into a single unit\. Qualified to RTCA DO\-160, the X\-ADT is engineered for the most demanding airborne environments\.\ \
\
With its high\-performance onboard computer, the X\-ADT allows you to run S\-PLANE mission software, as well as your own or third\-party containerized software\. Seamlessly access high\-definition payload data streams, onboard storage, and external I/O, enabling unparalleled flexibility for mission\-critical tasks\.\ \
\
Whether you’re managing ISR payloads from onboard or remotely, the X\-ADT ensures efficient and cost\-effective operation of RADAR, EO/IR, and SIGINT equipment\. When paired with S\-PLANE’s Paragon HMI mission software across aircraft and ground control stations, X\-ADT further enhances operational value and helps maximise return on ISR sensor investments\.\ \
\
The X\-ADT offers unparalleled airborne ISR capabilities in a single unit, all at a competitive price point\. No other product combines this level of integration, reliability, and performance in such a small form factor\.\ - [X\-KIT](https://s-plane.com/products/x-kit/): \
The S\-PLANE X\-KIT is a comprehensive solution that offers a means to rapidly convert manned or unmanned aircraft into both experimental and certified Manned, Unmanned or Optionally Piloted Systems\. Built on S\-PLANE’s proven and rugged X\-SERIES technology, the X\-KIT can be readily applied to almost any aircraft\. Seamless integration with third party payloads and S\-PLANE’s Communication, Ground Control and Simulation Solutions brings high\-end, versatile autonomous systems of the future to today\.\ \
In addition to S\-PLANE’s X\-SERIES flight and mission automation technology, the X\-KIT includes S\-PLANE’s Communication, Ground Control and Simulation Solutions \(e\.g\. TRACKER\+ Paragon, XSIM\-HILS\) and Services \(e\.g\. System Engineering, Integration and Testing\) in order to enable comprehensive system\-level functionality\.\ - [NX\-FCU](https://s-plane.com/products/nx-fcu/): \
S\-PLANE’s X\-SERIES represents the state\-of\-the\-art in avionics and automation solutions for manned and unmanned aircraft\. The NX\-SERIES is the Small Form Factor \(SFF\) extension of this product family, catering for Size Weight and Power \(SWaP\) sensitive systems\. Reliability, functionality, flexibility and certifiability are all key design elements carried across to the NX\-SERIES architecture\. The result is a set of subsystems able to accommodate the strict physical and electrical requirements of SWaP sensitive aerospace sub\-systems, while continuing to provide the latest in technology and functionality, responsibly and reliably\.\ \
The NX\-FCU is used for functions such as flight automation, fly\-by\-wire computing, and remote piloting\. It can be supplied as complete flight automation appliances \(including flight software\) or as target hardware with Board Support Packages \(for PikeOS and real\-time Linux\)\.\ \
