Modular real-time operating system that enables rapid updates to the warfighter

In aerospace and defense, Deos is used in mission-critical systems where reliability and timing are paramount. In these high-risk environments, the Deos RTOS ensures that operations are carried out accurately and on time, contributing to the success of complex missions. Deos helps meet the need for high-performance systems that meet size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements while adhering to safety regulations.

Deos it trusted by global aerospace and defense companies to deliver both safety and security.

Challenges in Defense Platforms:

  • Combining disparate systems to deliver actionable information
  • Enabling modularity for rapid updates (MOSA, CMOSS, VICTORY)
  • Quickly leveraging the latest technology advances
  • Securing systems from cyber attacks

What Deos Delivers:

  • Deos abstracts software from hardware and uses a library structure that enables connecting sensor data from a wide variety to sources
  • Our reusable, modular component model enables rapid upgrades to both hardware and software while eliminating NRE costs
  • Fully leverage the benefits of multi-core processors through our SafeMC™ Technology giving developers the ability to confidently schedule mission-critical processes on multiple cores
  • Time and space partitioning, secure boot, and explicit resource allocation enforcement inherently supports isolation of computing and I/O resources, leading to a secure system design
  • Deos is the first RTOS to receive OSS Conformance Certification for the FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.1

Deos™, DDC-I’s safety-critical time and space partitioned real-time operating system (RTOS) that has been verified to the guidance of DO-178C/ED-12C Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) for Avionics Applications, supports ARINC 653 APEX, Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS), and is targeted at the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Safety Extended and Safety Base Profiles. Deos is the first RTOS to receive OSS Conformance Certification for the FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.1. The Safety Extended Profile, which adds support for TCP/IP communications, multi-process support, and expanded POSIX capability (80 extra functions), is a superset of the functionality required by the Safety Base and Security Profiles.
