Avionics system architects making design decisions today are often frustrated by an expensive problem - having to perform a substantial redesign because an existing system lacked the flexibility required to support an update. Such inflexible barriers in the design process may be overcome by using new, highly-integrated multi-core processors that can provide long-term system flexibility. Multi-core processors are now being utilized to not only address the dwindling availability of new single-core processors, but also to take advantage of increased throughput while maintaining equivalent power consumption.

SANTA BARBARA, CA. Engineers at Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, chose the INTEGRITY-178B Time-Variant Unified Multi Processing (tuMP) multicore operating system from Green Hills Software in Santa Barbara, Calif., for use in their mission computer designed for the RQ-7B Shadow Unmanned Air System (UAS).

With the advent of multicore and hypervisor-enabled mobile SoCs, military mobile devices such as Type-1 PDAs and Software-Defined Radio (SDR) can now keep pace with the latest commercial mobile software initiatives such as Google Android while reducing costs and meeting the most stringent security requirements. In addition to the hardware advances, this goal is made possible with software technologies and architectures that include a layered approach to virtualization using a Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) separation kernel and its high-assurance partitioning policies.
