Green Hills Software, Inc., the technology leader in operating systems and development tools for safe and secure systems, today announced that L-3 Communications Display Systems (L-3 Display Systems) has selected the INTEGRITY-178B real-time operating system (RTOS) for the System Processor within the Panoramic Cockpit Display (PCD) for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The L-3 Display Systems Panoramic Cockpit Display supplies pilot control and display for the major functions of the F-35 aircraft, including flight displays, sensor displays, communication, radio and navigation systems and identification systems, providing the pilot with total situational awareness. This cost-effective, low-weight display is intended for production insertion into the F-35 Lightning II program and is designed to meet the demanding environment of the F-35 fighter aircraft. The display subsystem for the L-3 Display Systems will be integrated with other Operational Flight Program software developed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. “L-3 Display Systems selected the INTEGRITY-178B RTOS from Green Hills Software because of its use by Lockheed Martin in other systems onboard the F-35 aircraft,” said Bob McGill, president of L-3’s Displays Group. We have identified INTEGRITY-178B as a partitioned RTOS solution that can simultaneously meet today’s challenging safety, security and information assurance requirements.” “Green Hills Software is pleased that L-3 Display Systems selected our INTEGRITY-178B RTOS for the development of this important system on the F-35,” said Dan O’Dowd, founder and chief executive officer of Green Hills Software. “We have developed a complete Platform for Avionics to support the diverse needs of our avionics customers, which includes the INTEGRITY-178B RTOS. INTEGRITY-178B is an ARINC-653-2 full-time and memory-partitioned RTOS and has been certified multiple times to the FAA’s safety-critical standard DO-178B. As a result, the Green Hills Platform for Avionics is the industry choice for avionics systems development where lower risk and faster time-to-market are important considerations.” The stealthy F-35 is a supersonic, multi-role, 5th-generation fighter designed to replace a wide range of existing aircraft, including AV-8B Harriers, A-10s, F-16s, F/A-18 Hornets and United Kingdom Harrier GR.7s and Sea Harriers. The Green Hills Platform for Avionics is being deployed for a growing list of current and next-generation aircraft including the Lockheed Martin JSF F-35, F/A-22 and F-16. The wide deployment of Green Hills Software’s avionics solutions demonstrates that Green Hills Software is the industry leader and the preferred choice for avionics RTOS solutions.
