Regardless of the software and/hardware being integrated, customers are challenged when their underlying infrastructure (i.e., Operating Environment) is not built in a manner to support the type of safe, secure, and modular isolation necessary for said certifiable rapid capability insertions and updates. To avoid compounding architectural dependencies that lead to skyrocketing sustainment costs, DoD needs to leverage a framework by which all software and hardware will be integrated for their systems without compromising the capability they need to field. Lynx is postured to support DoD’s utilization of our composition framework using LYNX MOSA.ic to achieve maximization of COTS/GOTS/NDI and new capabilities critical to DoD’s success. LYNX MOSA.ic combines Lynx technology, 3rd party operating systems, and application-specific system integrations to support mixed criticality environments. By harnessing the fine-grained CPU virtualization on the newest Arm, PowerPC, and Intel processors, DoD can rapidly create, certify, and deploy safe, secure, and reliable systems. During 2021, Lynx added Cloud- and Device-based management capabilities to support our customers build "systems of systems". This positions Lynx as the leader in enabling Safety and Mission Critical Edge platforms, combining deterministic real-time performance, security and hardware optimizations of traditional embedded software with the DevSecOps advantages enjoyed by IT Infrastructure.
