HCL Technologies on Monday announced it has bagged a mandate from French aircraft maker Airbus Industrie for the development of sophisticated embedded software.

The software is to be used for the system data acquisition computer of the Airbus A340 flight warning system, an HCL release said in New Delhi.

The terms of reference of the project -- code named ODESA (Offshore Development of Embedded Software for Airbus) -- will include migration of the embedded software development environment from an older technology platform to a newer platform in its first phase.
