Member Spotlight | 5 October 2022
In an effort to raise awareness to NAMC member capabilities within the consortium, NAMC launched the member spotlight last year, showcasing an organization from the capability areas identified via the GVS OTA.
Moving forward, we will do a standalone company spotlight twice a month. With over 500+ members, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and submit your company's information via the link below. There are a lot of exciting projects this fiscal year, and the spotlights help raise awareness to your company capabilities.

Q: What do you consider your organization’s differentiator?
A: DDC plays an important role within the US Army’s MAPS program. Many companies seeking to achieve MAF compliance have engaged DDC for assistance in integrating our FPGA-based AVB IP core with their product.
DDC is the only company with an FPGA-based AVB IP core that has undergone the rigorous AVNU certification process. Key to the success of the MAPS program is ensuring interoperability perfection, at the moment of truth. By integrating with a certified AVB IP Core, MAPS companies are taking strong steps towards eliminating interoperability worries.
As a full offering, engineering consulting and manufacturing firm with an experienced, tenured engineering staff having deep, working knowledge of AVB, DDC is the provider of choice for all MAPS companies desiring to not only speed their time-to-MAF compliance, but also for AVNU certification of their AVB equipped products.
