Abstract

Demonstrates the effectiveness of COTS based middleware. The advanced software execution platform (ASEP) is built upon COTS real-time operating systems (RTOS) which support the POSIX real-time extensions. The baseline ASEP along with transition of these "experimental concepts" have found their way into designs on the joint strike fighter mission systems as well as other advanced F-16 variants. Indeed, this middleware is being woven into the LM proven path initiative and is being reviewed for F-22 DMS problems
