| Real-Time Linux at work in the U.S. Navy Aegis Weapon System. |
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.
