As a provider of realtime OS technology for over 30 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 US Army, NASA, BAE Systems, Harris, 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)
• Common Critera ISO/IEC 15408 certified kernel to EAL 4+ (QNX® Neutrino® RTOS Secure Kernel)
• 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)
• Standards certification, including ISO 9001:2000, POSIX PSE52 Realtime Controller 1003.13-2003, OpenGL ES, and Common Criteria EAL4+
• Globally recognized defense supplier (QNX Neutrino RTOS: #0033857, cage code 3AD83)
• 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
