software certification information

Thursday January 11, 2024 13:22 Hello Chief of Naval Operations, DNS-36 2000 Navy Pentagon Washington, DC 20350-2000 usn.ncr.dns.mbx.don-foia-pa@us.navy.mil 1. This is a Freedom of Information Act request for software certification information for software used on Poseiden P-8A which crashed on November 20, 2023 into Kaneohe Bay. 2. c/c++ autopilot software technologies use Boeing 737/800 airplanes? c/c+ and Linux Mint apparent used in two 737 MAX airplanes which crashed. P-8A is a Navy version of the 737/800, we read on Internet. 3. Reason for this FOIA Boeing hardware engineers' standards limited embedded controller software modules code length to no greater than one page for certification edibility. Certification definition: The action or process of providing someone or something with an official document attesting to a status or level of achievement. If the code modules are longer than one page, then they may be too complex for certification evaluation? Code length limitation can be traced to 1966 and after the Boeing 767 Software Certification Policy publishes in 1980. 4 Documents requested: A. Copy of the US document accepting delivery of the Vinson Kaneohe P-8A. B. Copies of Properties in Linux, Windrows or equivalent software development tools of all folders and files of Kaneohe P-8A software at time of delivery to the US Navy C. Copes names off all subroutines/procedures/ and main code along with certification documents for each whenever an update/upgrade is made. Copies of verified statement if no certification document exists. D. Copies of a verified count of mumber of lines of code in each subroutine/procedure and in which computer language was each written whenever an update/upgrade is made. 5. Copies of the Kaneohe Poseiden P-8A autopilot switch wiring diagrams. A Copies of Properties which contain name and size of all software subroutine/procedure/modules with revision symbols and dates which have read access to the autopilot switch. a. Copies of all update/upgrades notifications to the     Kaneohe Poseiden P-8A autopilot software.     b. Copies of all update/upgrades software certification      to the      autopilot Kaneohe Poseiden Kaneohe Poseiden P-8A     software. 6. Please waive fees. Reason: Possible deployment of uncertified/uncertifiable safety-critical avionics software by the US Navy resulting from c/c++ system vendors misrepresenting the applicability of their technology in embedded controller software/hardware systems? This knowledge is in the public and US Navy's interest? 7. Please send these documents within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
