## What is the Future Airborne Capability Environment?

The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) standard is designed to enhance the U.S. military aviation community’s ability to improve software reuse, accelerate war-fighter capabilities, and facilitate the adoption of new technologies.

The FACE™ Consortium comprises industry and government member organizations, their representatives, and advisors, creating an acquisition-neutral setting where the industry can work with government customers to produce open standards and influence procurement and policy.

Lynx Software Technologies is an Associate Sponsor of the FACE™ Consortium, which operates under The Open Group. FACE™ defines the framework for creating a common operating environment that supports applications across multiple Department of Defense avionics systems.

LynxOS-178® secure real-time operating system has been confirmed as conformant to version 3.1 of the FACE™ standard for Arm, and Intel® x86  platforms.
