RedHawk Linux: All Your Missile Bases Are Belong To Us

Bookmark on del.icio.us or Furl

Just like the old videogame, All Our Missile Bases Are Belonging to RedHawk Linux — or at least they will be protected by RedHawk Linux. Concurrent announced today that Lockheed Martin has selected Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux Distribution for the Army’s Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Program.

RedHawk Linux will be used by the Army to provide real time simulation for the testing of Strategic Missile Defense Subsystems. According to Lockheed Martin, RedHawk was selected for the THAAD program

“due to the precision and guaranteed response time of Concurrent’s RedHawk Linux real-time operating system. Only RedHawk Linux was able to ensure the high frame rates required in their HIL simulation without frame overruns, thereby ensuring the highest quality of system test.”

Linux protecting our missile bases … I feel safer already. Just imagine the chaos if they had selected Windows — bluescreens and system reboots during missile testing definitely would not inspire confidence in the military!
