DO-278A is a strong guideline comprising both recommendations and assessable objectives. It is intended for use in developing ground-based systems (containing software) that are involved with aircraft operations, and that's why DO-278A is informally referred to as the aviation standard for ground-based systems.
DO-330 "Software Tool Qualification Considerations", a new "domain-independent, external document", was developed to provide guidance for an acceptable tool qualification process. While DO-178C was used as the basis of the development of this new document, the text was adapted to be directly and separately applicable to tool development and to address all tool aspects. As a domain-independent, stand-alone document, DO-330 is intended for use not only in support of DO-178C/ED-12C, but DO-278/ED-109, DO-254/ED-80, DO-278, and DO-200 as well, even for non-aviation applications, e.g., ISO 26262 or ECSS. Consequently, tool qualification guidance was removed in DO-178C, replaced therein with guidance for deciding when to apply DO-330 tool qualification guidance to tools used in a DO-178C context.

Aviation Cyber-Security
DO-326
1) “Airworthiness Security Process” (AWSP), mostly detailed in DO-326A/ED-202A, that outlines the major steps, activities and objectives of security certification for airworthiness.
2) “Guidance for Continuing Airworthiness,” mostly provided by DO-355/ED-204, but supported by the core documents of the set as well.
DO-356 Airworthiness security is the protection of the airworthiness of an aircraft from intentional unauthorized electronic interaction. Existing safety processes have not had to consider intentional disruption.

MBSE 'Model-based systems engineering ' Technology supplements were added to extend the guidance of the DO-178C document to specific techniques.
- DO-331 "Model-Based Development and Verification Supplement to DO-178C and DO-278A" - addressing Model-Based Development (MBD) and verification and the ability to use modeling techniques to improve development and verification while avoiding pitfalls inherent in some modeling methods
- DO-332 "Object-Oriented Technology and Related Techniques Supplement to DO-178C and DO-278A" - addressing object-oriented software and the conditions under which it may be used
- DO-333 "Formal Methods Supplement to DO-178C and DO-278A" - addressing formal methods to complement (but not replace) testing
- SCADE (Safety-Critical Avionics Development Environment) Model-based Systems Engineering, Design, and Development IIDE .
- FACE 'Future Airborne Capability Environment' - The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment was formed in 2010 to define an open avionics environment for all military airborne platform types. Today, it is a real-time software-focused professional group made up of industry suppliers, customers, academia, and users. Wikipedia
