[2] Lynx specializes in secure virtualization and open, reliable, certifiable real-time operating systems (RTOSes).
It features predictable worst-case response time, preemptive scheduling, real-time priorities, ROMable kernel, and memory locking.
LynxOS and LynxOS-178 have been deployed in millions of safety-critical applications worldwide, including multiple military and aerospace systems.
In 2003, the company introduced the LynxOS-178 real-time operating system, a specialized version of LynxOS geared toward avionics applications that require certification to industry standards such as DO-178B.
LynxOS-178 is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) RTOS that fully satisfies the objectives of the DO-178B level A specification and meets requirements for Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) developers.
LynxOS-178 is a native POSIX, hard real-time partitioning operating system developed and certified to FAA DO-178B/C DAL A safety standards.
LynxOS-178 is the primary host for real-time POSIX and FACE applications within the LYNX MOSA.ic development and integration framework.
Designed to deliver on the vision of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), its focus is to enable developers to collapse existing development cycles to create, certify, and deploy robust, secure platforms for manned and unmanned autonomous systems.
[19] LYNX MOSA.ic's modular structure allows users to isolate computing resources into self-managed independent environments.
[20][21] The framework was developed for integration with the U.S. Department of Defense's MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach).
