Designed to support future Network Centric Operations, RT Secure guarantees information security for real-time software applications running on COTS, custom, or hybrid processors.

Operationally proven for embedded software applications, the RT Secure operating system is a highly efficient compact kernel based on the F/A-22 Avionics Operating System. RT Secure performs security checks on all subject and object interaction and protects program address spaces to ensure application availability and integrity. Transparent to the application, it performs all security functions during initialization––keeping them out of critical timelines.

RT Secure runs on popular microprocessor architectures such as the Power PC® and Pentium® families and will quickly and affordably migrate to new ones. A certifiable security solution, it meets the critical requirements of a wide range of defense applications.

RT Secure offers optimal configuration flexibility for system developers, as well as processing architecture expandability. Integrated with Green Hills Software MULTI,® a comprehensive commercial development environment, it easily adapts to other commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) compilers and tools. Through well-designed interfaces, it supports application programs written in multiple languages, including Ada and C/C++.

One of many Raytheon operating systems supporting time-critical avionics applications, RT Secure builds on Raytheon’s experience and expertise in this area. Its forward-looking design enables it to support future Network Centric Operations through multilevel security capabilities.
