LYNX MOSA.IC SUPPORTS GRAY EAGLE UAS SOFTWARE MODERNIZATION

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has adopted the LYNX MOSA.ic software framework for the Gray Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS).

LYNX MOSA.ic is aligned with GA-ASI’s objectives to meet software-modernization targets for the GE-ER program that include safety and cost efficiency, as well as introducing new features, increasing system robustness and securing future flexibility.

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS

Develop, certify, and deploy complex, deterministic systems faster by securely and safely integrating open source software with well-tested, certified components. Industry-specific development and integration frameworks combine bare-metal, embedded Linux, 3rd-Party OS, and safety-certified RTOS components on a secure foundation. Minimize certification burdens, cut project costs, and reduce time to market, with LYNX MOSA.ic.

INTRODUCING
LYNX MOSA.ic

for INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

"LYNX MOSA.ic for Industrial is a set of Lynx software packages, 3rd-party technologies, and associated tools which Lynx has proven to operate together in a safe and reliable way. LynxSecure, Lynx’s proven separation kernel is the foundational building block of this product, enabling mixed criticality systems to be configured on top of it."

Industry products

The following are sets of Lynx software packages, 3^rd party technologies, and associated tools which Lynx has proven to reliably work together for rapidly building robust avionics, industrial, and unmanned systems.

A simpler path to CAST-32A certification, LYNX MOSA.ic™ for Avionics provides a native POSIX DO-178C certified RTOS, Buildroot Linux, and bare metal application environments for efficiently building and deploying robust avionics systems.

Build and deploy deterministic industrial software systems by combining rich OSes (Windows, Linux), RTOSes (FreeRTOS, Azure) and system integrations (Azure IoT Edge, Kubernetes) on a provably secure foundation.

A complete development framework for combining bare metal crypto modules; the versatility of Linux; and a native POSIX, hard real-time operating system for the rapid development and deployment of unmanned systems.

TECHNOLOGIES

LynxSecure is a separation kernel hypervisor designed to satisfy real-time, high assurance computing requirements for Arm, PowerPC and x86 platforms.

LYNX MOSA.ic is a software framework that shrinks the development cycle for the creation, certification and deployment of complex multi-core safety or security systems.

LynxOS-178 is a native POSIX^® hard real-time partitioning operating system developed and certified to FAA DO-178B/C DAL A safety standards.

Testimonials

With many suppliers focused on the security of these systems, Lynx appears to be one of the few worrying about high reliability of platforms over 10+ year product lifecycles.

Chris Rommel | VDC Research

Executive Vice President

We are excited that both NXP and Arm architectures are now supported within the LYNX MOSA.ic framework. It offers an exceptional technology for managing the complexity associated with multicores, reducing the design and certification time for safety critical systems based on NXP Layerscape and QorIQ SoCs.

Geoff Waters | NXP Semiconductors

Senior Principal Engineer, Chairman for Multicore for Avionics Working Group

The inclusion of FreeRTOS as a guest of the LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor will give developers an easy and low cost path to development and integration of complex systems, with a path to a fully safety-certifiable solution.
