Military-grade security and reliability in mission-critical government and military systems where information is vital and lives can be at stake, downtime is not an option.
The need for a highly reliable, secure, and fast operating system is crucial. It is these systems that require the highest level of confidence and fault tolerance that comes from a proven technology, battle-hardened in over 30 years of field deployment.
Thanks to the true microkernel architecture of the QNX Neutrino® RTOS, full memory protection is built in. Any component can fail and be dynamically restarted without corrupting the microkernel or other components. If a failure does occur, a QNX-based system has the capability for self-healing through critical process monitoring and customizable recovery mechanisms.
Defense companies use QNX technology for various defense and security products including:
Defense and security applications and platforms face challenges unlike any other. In an environment where lives are often at stake, it is not only imperative that the system perform reliably but also that it be resilient to extreme conditions and persistent, malicious attacks by foreign entities. The applications and systems must be able to detect, contain, and repair themselves in the event of such attacks.
Safety, security, and reliability. These values lie at the very core of QNX technology. They also form the foundation for certifications that are crucial to many mission-critical systems. QNX Software Systems understands the importance of these certifications to the security and defense market. As such, numerous QNX technologies have been certified to important industry standards.
