Linux in the military to achieve double-digit growth, but performance is still key
MontaVista Software invented the category of embedded Linux commercialization back in 1999, and has remained the leader since then. Increasingly, MontaVista is being considered for defense applications – sometimes pushing aside the better-known Linux-for-defense suppliers such as Wind River or LynuxWorks. I had a chance to conduct an email interview with Jim Ready, MontaVista’s founder and pioneer of the RTOS VRTX. Edited excerpts ...

Military systems can benefit by using multicore
Many modern defense systems can benefit from running both real-time and non Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs). Marrying OS-9 with Windows or Linux on an asymmetric multiprocessing platform requires modern multicore processors such as those from Intel. Virtual machines running on the AMP manage the multiple environments.

Next-gen C++ API for avionics apps enhances application development
Avionics applications that require I/O access to aircraft data buses typically access these buses via the low-level C style API libraries supplied with bus interface modules, for example a MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC 429 PMC module. These low-level APIs are commonly focused on the hardware implementation of the interface module and therefore require the avionics application programmer to become very familiar with a particular hardware module. Additi...

Paving the road to DO-178B compliance with COTS tools
When it comes to DO-178B compliance, companies face a tough decision: Forge ahead with DO-178B compliance following an entirely hand-coded process and avoid the perceived additional risks and costs of using a third-party resource, or take advantage of COTS tools. Before making a decision, companies first need to revisit commonly accepted wisdom associated with DO-178B.

Projecting” images in radar and medical applications
Examples of computationally intense systems being shrunk by use of FPGAs are of keen interest to us. Filtered backprojection is finding its way into both radar and medical imaging applications, and is well served by FPGAs to handle a portion of the algorithm. The results are outstanding. Searching for an enemy vehicle from a high-flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Taking a child after a tumble from a bike to the hospital for a CT scan of th...

Recession-resistant technology
With a recession on the way, or already here, some technologies stand a better chance of receiving funding or being purchased. Technology that can directly make a connection to an end user benefit is the secret here. With 2008 S&T funding reduced by an astounding 20.1 percent to $10.9 billion, the military science fair is over, kids, as only DARPA gets to play with the fun toys. Instead, the DoD prefers to buy only “right now” capa...
