Mannarino Systems & Software Inc.
Pioneering Aerospace Solutions for the Future

Mannarino Systems & Software (MANNARINO) specializes in safety-critical systems, software, and airborne electronic hardware (AEH), primarily for aerospace. Over 25 years, it has developed a strong foundation and deep-rooted expertise, placing the company at the forefront of this industry niche.

MANNARINO’s bespoke offerings are headlined by a Real- Time Operating System (M-RTOS), a Design Approval Organization (DAO), and comprehensive engineering services. Coupling these capabilities establishes it as the “one-stop shop” for customers seeking their first product certifications. Moreover, MANNARINO boasts an agile approach to market needs that is unique among its contemporaries.

Anchoring MANNARINO’s suite of solutions is the M-RTOS, an affordable and flexible product offering robust software partitioning and meeting the ARINC 653 standard. The M-RTOS supports a range of NXP PowerPC cores and the ARM family of processors. Its broad compatibility maximizes software reuse and facilitates quick adaptation to meet customer needs, making it a reliable choice for aerospace and defense applications (M-RTOS also has a place in the power generation, rail, and automotive industries). The user-friendly MANNARINO Workbench development environment accompanying the M-RTOS warns of configuration errors before software integration onto the hardware platform, effectively reducing product development time.

“We are one of, if not the only RTOS or service provider who can develop and certify an entire software stack – RTOS, board support package, drivers, and specified application software.The customer’s integration risk is minimized,” says Mario Iacobelli, Senior Product Manager.

In addition to world-class tools, MANNARINO is known for its competence in process design and optimization. Its DAO accreditation by Transport Canada – supporting the certification of any safety-critical system – is key to delivering its services. The company’s proficiency in augmenting customer processes to meet industry standards, such as systems SAE/ARP 4754A, software RTCA/DO-178C, and AEH RTCA/DO-254, is well known. Some customers license MANNARINO’s proven proprietary processes, underscoring the value and trust the name MANNARINO commands in the marketplace.

Having started in traditional crewed aerospace applications, MANNARINO understands the importance of anticipating and responding to emerging trends and demands, including the “greening” of aerospace and innovation in electrifying aircraft and propulsion. It has made significant inroads into the burgeoning advanced air mobility/urban air mobility market. It is among the leaders in the complex certification landscape for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV) and associated systems, working closely with certification authorities. The company’s ability to adapt to this emerging sector’s needs without compromising safety or performance standards speaks volumes about its capabilities.

MANNARINO’s diverse clientele, which includes traditional aerospace and defense, UAV and eVTOL manufacturers, and battery management systems suppliers, emphasize its reliability and prowess in streamlining product development cycles. A leading international autopilot OEM serving the UAV sector chose MANNARINO’s M-RTOS for its superior software partitioning. M-RTOS allowed the autopilot OEM to field their product quickly and integrate it into several UAV platforms with no reported issues.

The MANNARINO approach goes beyond offering a comprehensive software solution. It entails establishing, nurturing, and growing longterm client relationships, addressing specific needs, and evolving to deliver holistic, end-to-end solutions that ensure customers realize their ambitions. The company’s commitment to this method explains why it continues to grow in an industry characterized by its rapid pace and high demand for innovation and safety.

“Our goal is to provide our customers with high-quality systems and software engineering and certification services and products that build a long-lasting and reliable partnership,” says Iacobelli.

Looking forward, MANNARINO is focused on expanding its place as an industry leader, poised to drive a new wave of advancements and innovations in the aerospace sector. Its journey thus far bears testament to its commitment to providing unparalleled solutions and services
