The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is a next-generation, supersonic stealth aircraft designed to replace a wide array of existing fighters.
The Panoramic Cockpit Display (PCD) subsystem for the F-35 delivers information on major functions such as flight and sensor displays, communication, radio and navigation systems as well as an identification system which gives the pilot total situational awareness.
L-3 Communications Display Systems chose the DO-178B-certifiable LynxOS®-178 Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to power a portion of the Panoramic Cockpit Display subsystem. Key factors in L-3 Display Systems' choice include the RTOS' adherence to open standards, its Linux compatibility, the interoperability benefits of its POSIX® API and support for the ARINC 653 specification.
LynxOS-178 is designed specifically to fulfill the stringent needs of multithread and multiprocess applications in safety-critical systems.
