Curtiss‑Wright Corporation and Green Hills Software today introduced a new high‑performance commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS) platform that combines the company’s SOSA‑aligned V3‑1222 3U VPX processing module with Green Hills’ FACE®‑certified INTEGRITY‑178 tuMP real‑time operating system. The V3‑1222 houses a 14‑core hybrid Intel® Core™ i7‑1376PRE processor, featuring eight performance cores and six efficient cores, along with integrated Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, all within a single‑slot 3U VPX footprint. The INTEGRITY‑178 tuMP RTOS supports both bound multi‑processing and symmetric multi‑processing, enabling developers to assign workloads to the most appropriate core types and achieve deterministic, high‑throughput performance while meeting Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) certification requirements.
The platform’s architecture aligns with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) standards, ensuring interoperability and reusability across defense and aerospace systems. By delivering a pre‑validated, safety‑certifiable hardware and software stack, the solution reduces integration risk and shortens time‑to‑market for advanced avionics. The 14‑core hybrid design delivers the computational power needed for modern flight‑control, sensor fusion, and mission‑critical processing, while the integrated graphics support advanced visualization and user‑interface workloads.
Market analysts note that demand for certified, high‑performance computing in next‑generation aircraft and defense platforms is accelerating, driven by the need for faster data processing, increased autonomy, and tighter safety requirements. The launch positions Curtiss‑Wright to capture a growing share of the avionics market, where customers increasingly seek COTS solutions that combine performance with rigorous safety certification. The partnership also strengthens Green Hills’ presence in the aerospace sector, leveraging its long‑standing reputation for secure, real‑time operating systems.
Lee Brown, general manager of Curtiss‑Wright’s C5ISR division, said the platform “delivers a modular and safety‑certifiable computing foundation that reduces integration risk and helps customers bring critical capabilities to market faster.” He added that the combination of SOSA alignment, FACE certification, and DAL A compliance provides a future‑proof platform that can be rapidly integrated into a wide range of aircraft and defense systems.
The launch enters a competitive landscape that includes other RTOS and hardware vendors such as Wind River, QNX, and Siemens. However, the unique blend of a 14‑core Intel processor, SOSA and FACE compliance, and DAL A certification gives Curtiss‑Wright and Green Hills a distinct advantage for customers prioritizing safety, performance, and rapid deployment. The partnership signals a strategic shift toward delivering turnkey, safety‑certifiable solutions that can accelerate development cycles and reduce the cost of certification for defense and aerospace customers.
