LYNX MOSA.ic was found to meet General Atomics' software-modernization targets for the Grey Eagle Extended Range (GE-ER) unmanned aerial system (UAS) program, which includes safety and cost efficiency, as well as the introduction of new features, increasing system robustness, and securing future flexibility.
Supporting today’s computing trends moving towards multicore processors and hardware acceleration leveraging complex programmable SoCs, LYNX MOSA.ic enables real-time operating systems (RTOS), commercial OSes, and bare-metal software to coexist on the same platform and maintain robust separation. The platform’s open integration framework promotes safe software re-use to help realize cost efficiencies and shorten development and integration cycles. With unique features to optimize hardware on boot-up and securely lock-down the configuration to prevent unintentional modification or malicious interference, LYNX MOSA.ic ensures operational safety and robustness and provides state-of-the-art cybersecurity.
LYNX MOSA.ic is a framework for development and integration of complex multi-core safety or security systems. Built on the LynxSecure separation kernel hypervisor, LYNX MOSA.ic supports a variety of operating systems such as LynxOS-178, Linux, Windows, third-party RTOS and bare metal applications including Lynx Simple Applications. LYNX MOSA.ic runs on Intel®, Arm® and PowerPC® architectures. Industry-specific bundles for LYNX MOSA.ic are available for Avionics, Industrial, and UAV & Satellite applications.
LYNX MOSA.ic for UAVs and Satellites is a set of Lynx software packages, 3rd party technologies, and associated tools which Lynx has proven to reliably work together for rapidly building robust unmanned aerial and satellite systems. Specifically, LYNX MOSA.ic for UAVs and Satellites includes the following:
