DECADES OF SERVICE

Lynx has a rich history of delivering proven solutions to builders of advanced mission-critical national defense software systems. Whether on the land, in the sea, in the air, or out in space, our technologies form the software foundation for deployed systems worldwide that keep people safe and protect our allied national interests.

Systems deployed in high-threat environments such as fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), stealth ocean vessels, military transport vehicles, and helicopters, all examples of systems running on Lynx software, require the highest levels of security, safety, and reliability. But as systems grow increasingly complex, the difficulty in delivering adaptable, deterministic, connected and safe open solutions at sustainable lifetime costs also grows. That is why the world's leading software systems providers to military and government end users have increasingly trusted Lynx because of our proven record of delivering innovative platform solutions that meet project requirements while reducing project costs and cutting time to market.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATIONS

From its inception, Lynx has embraced open standards such as UNIX and POSIX®. Our solutions enable embedded application developers to leverage the reuse of existing code, 3rd-party commercial solutions, and open-source applications seamlessly, with unrivaled interoperability and portability among the various platforms. We are also active in industry committees and groups that shape and maintain standards—such as the Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium, ensuring that our customers’ needs are met by the standards we support, keeping our open systems current as standards evolve. More specifically, LynxOS-178 is compliant to FACE™ (Future Airborne Capability Environment ) v3.1. for three processor architectures (Arm, PowerPC, and x86). LynxOS-178 also conforms to the ARINC 653-1 Application Executive Software (APEX) Interface.

SOLUTIONS FOR MISSION SYSTEMS 

Our foundational technology—LYNX MOSA.ic™—was designed for the modernization of avionic and mission-critical software platforms, providing open flexibility on a robust foundation to meet the program needs of rich system functionality deployed in high-threat safety-critical environments. The intent is in the name of a Modular Open Systems Architecture Integration Center (MOSA.ic).

LYNX MOSA.ic embodies the integrated business and technical DoD implementation strategy of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), defined in Title 10 U.S. Code § 2446a. - Requirement for modular open system approach in major defense acquisition programs. LYNX MOSA.ic enables system developers to build systems compositionally using open standards, relying heavily on the reuse of well-tested and certified components.
