Northrop Grumman Selects Wind River for Flight Control and Mission Systems on its X-47B Navy-Unmanned Aerial Combat System
Northrop Grumman Corporation has selected Wind River VxWorks 653 as the device software platform for its X-47B Navy-Unmanned Aerial Combat System (N-UCAS).
"We chose Wind River because of our successful past usage of VxWorks, and its forward-looking product strategy that allows us to migrate to ARINC 653 and secure Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) systems," said Tighe Parmenter, Manager, X-47B Navy UCAS Business Strategy and Development, Northrop Grumman. "In addition, the platform enables reductions in device size, weight and power, thereby reducing significant design, engineering and production risks."
