- Market brief
As a provider of realtime OS technology for over 25 years, QNX Software
Systems has a long tradition of helping government defense departments and
their contractors develop advanced, mission-critical, realtime systems.
Organizations such as the U.S. Army, NASA, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin,
Naval Undersea Warfare Center and Boeing have engaged with QNX on a
wide range of projects that share the same demanding requirements:
- Military-grade reliability (microkernel architecture, full memory protection)
- Standards-based design (security and easy interoperability of networked applications, POSIX)
- Massive scalability (transparent distributed processing, symmetric multiprocessing)
- Open tooling platform (Eclipse-based IDE, code coverage, system analysis and profiling tools)
- Military standards certification (DO-178B, MIL-STD 1553, QNX Neutrino RTOS: #0033857, cage code: 3AD83)
- Power management (full range of low power processors)
- Advanced graphics (3D visualization, mapping, ruggedized and multi-headed visual display systems, and multi-language support)
QNX-powered defense applications
By combining the above capabilities with industry-leading realtime performance, the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS has become the operating system of choice for a number of defense applications, including:
- Unmanned aircraft control systems
- Acoustic sensors for tracking tank movements
- JTRS wireless military radios
- High-capacity data radios
- Autonomous underwater vehicles
- Guidance systems for anti-tank weapons
- Embedded controller for aerospace applications
- Wearable GPS/communication systems for ground troops
- Transponder landing systems
- Military weather satellite test beds
