Phoenix, AZ. September 17, 2019. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will demonstrate a FACE-aligned RTOS solution at the US Air Force FACE and SOSA Expo and Technical Interchange Meeting, Booth #72, which will be held on September 17 at the Dayton Convention Center in Dayton, OH. DDC-I and its partners will host a variety of live demonstrations that utilize Deos to provide high-end synthetic vision, display, and data marshalling.
The FACE and SOSA Expo and Technical Interchange Meeting, hosted by the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, charts the progress made in the use of modular open systems in both the Future Airborne Capability Environment and the Sensor Open System Architecture consortia. Targeting program managers, contractors and suppliers across all branches of the service, the expo and TIM will give consortia members an opportunity to present their latest results and showcase their FACE and SOSA solutions for war-fighting applications.
“We’re excited to be working with the FACE Consortium and our partners to offer integrated FACE solutions that deliver maximum portability and safety criticality,” said Greg Rose, vice president of marketing and product management at DDC-I. “Like FACE, our safety-critical DO-178C RTOS solutions have been crafted from the ground up for reuse and binary portability, from the microkernel architecture to industry standard software interfaces.”
DDC-I will host a pair of live demonstrations at its booth. The first demo, employing a ruggedized Curtiss Wright NXP Power Architecture T2080-based VPX3-152 OpenVPX single-board computer equipped with DDC-I’s safety-critical Deos real-time operating system and CoreAVI OpenGL graphics, will utilize Ensco IData and IDataMap display software to provide 3D synthetic vision. The second demo, featuring an i.MX8 reference platform running Deos and CoreAVI graphics, will showcase high-end display capabilities utilizing ANSYS display software. Deos technology will also be featured in a number of partner booths, including a helmet mounted avionics display system from Elbit Systems and data marshalling technology from Kihomac.
Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that employs patented slack scheduling, memory pools, and cache partitioning to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS. First certified to DO-178 DAL A in 1998, Deos provides a FACE Safety Base Profile that features hard real-time response, time and space partitioning, and both ARINC-653 and POSIX interfaces. SafeMC™ technology extends Deos’ advanced capabilities to multiple cores, enabling developers of safety-critical systems to achieve best in class multicore performance without compromising safety-critical task response and guaranteed execution time.
