BOOTH # 825
Nashville, TN – April 15, 2025. DDC-I, a leading supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications, today announced that it will showcase its FACE-conformant Deos RTOS at the Army Aviation Warfighting Summit, which runs from April 15-17 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.
DDC-I will collaborate with Curtiss-Wright to host a demonstration of the Deos real-time operating system (RTOS) on the Curtiss-Wright V3-1222, a safety-certifiable 3U VPX Intel Core i7 Avionics Processor Card based on Intel’s Raptor Lake CPU. The demonstration will highlight the board’s multicore capability and performance using variable size packet transfers. The Raptor Lake processor sports six P cores and eight E cores, all of which can run Deos simultaneously, analogous to having what used to be a rack full of processor cards on one chip.
“We’re excited to be part of the Army Aviation Warfighting Summit and look forward to demonstrating our high-performance multicore collaboration with Curtiss-Wright,” said Gary Gilliland, vice president of marketing at DDC-I. “The integrated platform is ideal for compute-intensive sensors, display and cockpit computing, and autonomous vehicle control, enabling avionics developers to achieve and accelerate system safety certification up to Design Assurance Level (DAL) A for safety-critical airborne processing.
DDC-I also announced that the US Army has selected Deos for its MOSA-aligned High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) aerial Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) program. The HADES program configures US government-furnished Bombardier Global 6500 jets with advanced, deep sensing capabilities for multi-domain ISR operations at speeds, ranges, and altitudes not previously achievable by the US Army’s now divested turboprop aircraft fleet. HADES will utilize Deos to orchestrate the translation and distribution of data across the platform’s mission system Digital Backbone (DBB). This capability is achieved using configurable North Atlantic Industries (NAI) I/O intensive mission processors and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) modules, which employ TTTECH’s TSN technologies. This combination provides a DBB solution that offers a high-speed, real-time data network in a modular and open environment, allowing HADES to bring advanced ISR mission capabilities to the warfighter faster than ever before.
The annual Army Aviation Warfighter Summit, sponsored by the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA), serves as a central gathering point for the entire Army Aviation community, bringing together military personnel, government representatives, industry professionals, and solution providers to focus on critical issues affecting Army Aviation. With over 10,000 attendees, 400 exhibitors, and participants from more than 35 countries, the Summit offers an unparalleled platform for networking, collaboration, and showcasing innovative solutions in Army Aviation.

About Deos
Deos is employed in commercial and military ground, marine, air, and space systems where reliability and determinism are paramount. Rooted initially in avionics, Deos was first certified to DO-178 DAL A (the utmost software process standard) in 1998 and is deployed in over 10,000 commercial aircraft. Deos’ use cases have extended outside avionics, where its proven technical features provide numerous advantages over legacy RTOS architectures, especially as integrated system complexity continues to grow while still requiring a high degree of determinism and robustness. Deos is also aligned with modern military initiatives such as FACE®, MOSA, PYRAMID, and others.
Deos is a safety-critical embedded RTOS that employs patented cache partitioning, memory pools, and safe scheduling to deliver higher CPU utilization than any other certifiable safety-critical COTS RTOS while also addressing AC/AMC 20-193 multi-core objectives. The Deos environment also offers security features, middleware, networking, and other components often desired for modern embedded systems.
Deos offers a modular approach, uniquely at the object code level, which isolates deterministic applications from changes when other modules are added, removed, or modified. This modularity greatly improves application and system component reuse and reduces the cost of change for system improvements, enabling developers to more easily reconfigure their systems for multiple use cases and shorten the time and effort needed for next-generation products.
