Real-Time Linux at work in the U.S. Navy Aegis Weapon System.
|
The heartbeat that pumps the Aerospace & Defense industry
Aerospace and defense organizations worldwide rely on Concurrent’s real-time Linux,
tools and integrated systems for a wide range of applications including weapons
systems, pilot training, and engine testing.
First and foremost is the U.S. Navy’s Cruiser Modernization COTS Refresh 2 program
which includes the next generation Aegis Weapons System. Aegis is a computer-based
weapon system capable of real-time, simultaneous operations against multi-mission
threats. Led by Lockheed Martin, the Aegis Open Architecture program aims to move
Aegis from a customized system to an open architecture platform through integration
of commercial computing technology. This approach allows the Navy to install software
and other technology upgrades faster and less expensively.
Based on the strengths of Concurrent's real-time RedHawk Linux, NightStar tools and long-term program support,
Concurrent was selected as the supplier for Lockheed Martin's Aegis Open Architecture program.
