Enhancing Aerospace & Defense Systems with WindRiver Helix Virtualization Platform

Transforming Aerospace & Defense Operations

WindRiver's Helix Virtualization Platform offers a game-changing solution for aerospace and defense industries looking to innovate secure, high-performance, and cost-effective systems. Whether scaling from the intelligent edge to the enterprise, this platform provides a robust foundation for mission-critical applications.

Supporting Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)

The US Department of Defense has mandated a MOSA, emphasizing open standards, modular architecture, industry-standard interfaces, and standards conformance. WindRiver's eLxr Pro, based on a Debian derivative, provides commercial support to align with MOSA principles. It enables IP reuse, integrates with COTS hardware, and ensures system updateability, making it easier for program managers to comply with MOSA requirements.

Delivering High-Performance Hosting Platforms

eLxr Pro caters to the stringent hosting platform requirements of DoD enterprise systems by offering a cloud-ready, high-performance platform for application hosting. With support for cloud-native and container technologies, eLxr Pro ensures workload portability from the enterprise to the far edge. Customers benefit from WindRiver's CVE remediation services, threat monitoring, timely fixes, and proactive security alerts, enhancing the security and supportability of their systems.

Empowering Command and Control Systems

Command and control systems in aerospace and defense operations demand reliability, scalability, security, and adherence to open strategies like MOSA. WindRiver's eLxr Pro equips the next generation of these systems with features like reliable processing, redundancy, strong access controls, and broad hardware compatibility. It aligns with MOSA principles to avoid vendor lock-in and provides comprehensive support for industry standards.

Ensuring Secure Software Development

In response to the presidential mandate on secure software supply chains, WindRiver adheres to the NIST SP 800-218 standard for Secure Software Development Framework. The company's Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) aligns with NIST principles, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards. WindRiver includes a software bill of materials (SBOM) in eLxr Pro, enabling verification of software provenance to enhance security and transparency.

Driving Program Delivery Efficiency and Safety

WindRiver Studio Developer facilitates accelerated program delivery with reduced risk by providing a CI/CD platform for modern systems development. Supporting simulation pre-hardware availability and offering pre-certified IP blocks streamline safety certification programs. WindRiver's expertise in safety certification, coupled with Helix Virtualization Platform's robust partitioning and support for independent development, enhances innovation and enables reuse.

Enhancing Security and Performance

WindRiver's VxWorks and Helix Platform support compliance with security standards like NIST 800-218 and DO-356A, offering robust security designs and leveraging hardware security capabilities. The Information Assurance Framework enhances the security of avionics systems. VxWorks, as the first RTOS supporting OCI-compliant containers, aids in achieving high performance while ensuring security by design.
