Modular real-time operating system that enables rapid upgrades for the Warfighter
Deos is a dual-use technology first developed for commercial aerospace safety- and mission-critical systems. Deos offers military platforms a robust, tested solution with more advanced capabilities than legacy RTOS products.
Military platforms can leverage Deos for modular design and to speed agile software deployment. New functionality can be implemented quickly providing faster updates for the warfighter and enabling platforms to adapt to ever-changing threats. Discover more on our Defense Industry webpage.

- Is DO-178 DAL A certifiable when safety is mandated
- Provides ultra-fast boot times for rapid spin up and system recovery
- Includes secure and modular boot for protection and customization
- Has a proven pedigree with millions of flight hours on tens of thousands of aircraft
- Provides portability and scalability across product lines: autonomous, crewed, and weapon systems
Move Beyond Legacy RTOS Products
Many legacy defense RTOS solutions carry inherent development and maintenance costs. They compile into a monolithic binary images that require a cumbersome and lengthy process to field new capabilities. Defense developers often are then forced to sacrifice critical qualification and testing steps to deploy updates in a timely manner.
The modular Deos kernel architecture provides a building block binary component structure. This architecture enables:
- The ability to isolate and re-use software modules across platforms
- Incremental updates and capabilities rapidly to systems
- A secure infrastructure
