Secure Solutions for Defense Communications
Today's warfighters in theater need information—now. Traditional military radios are simply inadequate to deliver accurate and timely intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data from the wide range of sources to the battlefield to enable safe and accurate missions.
Next-generation military communications platforms must be highly adaptable and enable dynamic allocation of spectrum and bandwidth to respond to the rapidly changing military landscape. These radios must leverage the exponential growth in commercial communications capabilities while maintaining security under all conditions.
Linux has become the OS of choice for today's data-intensive military communications infrastructure. Linux leverages open source and open industry standards, along with a wide developer talent pool to deliver outstanding quality and capability.
But what about cyber-security threats and information assurance? We have you covered, with the first embedded Linux product with complete Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 certification, enabling your team to create innovative, open, and secure solutions for next-generation military communications.
What's Our Solution?
Wind River Linux Secure
For the first time, organizations that require medium robustness and high assurance in their embedded software have the option of using the world's most popular operating system in mission-critical deployments.
Wind River Linux Secure is our commercial Linux distribution certified to Common Criteria EAL4+ using the General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile (GP-OSPP) and FIPS 140-2 standard for secure cryptography with the highest level of assurance for systematic flaw remediation: ALC_FLR.3.
