VxWorks

The World’s Leading Real-Time Operating System for the Intelligent Edge.

Overview

In aerospace & defense, reliability, predictability and consistency are essential to execute application-specific tasks. A real-time operating system (RTOS) is the foundation of autonomous production. With the complexity of technology rapidly increasing there is an urgent need to deliver a secure, efficient solution that can seamlessly scale as your needs grow.

VxWorks is a deterministic, priority-based pre-emptive real-time operating system with low latency and minimal jitter. VxWorks is built on an upgradable, future-proof architecture to help you respond to the changing requirements and technology advancements in the aerospace & defense sector.
