Sun Java Real-Time System Selected for Space Surveillance Radar
Java Technology Enables Real-Time Behavior and Throughput in
Aeronautics
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 14, 2008 --
Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA), today announced that ITT
Corporation has selected the Sun Java(TM) Real-Time System 2.0 (Java
RTS) and the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS) as the software
development platform for its Eglin Control and Signal Processing Upgrade
(CSPU) program. More information on Sun Java RTS is available at: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/realtime/
The Eglin Space Surveillance Radar (FPS-85), which schedules and tracks
catalogued space objects, is currently undergoing a complex
modernization process to replace legacy mission-critical components
built from one-of-a-kind equipment and custom software. The Sun Java
Real-Time System, a high-level development platform for creating
applications that require unprecedented execution predictability, will
enable ITT to run the new solution using Java technology on Solaris 10
OS and standard hardware.
“Our comprehensive tests have proven that Sun
Java RTS running on Solaris 10 OS meets the real time behavior and
throughput requirements for Eglin Space Surveillance Radar,”
said Matt Prechtel, ITT's Software Lead for the project. “We
are looking forward to moving to a software platform based on the
Real-Time Specification for Java and are actively evaluating Java RTS
for other projects. Compliance with this open standard enables us to use
off-the-shelf hardware and operating systems plus offering us a lot more
flexibility in terms of solution design.”
“We are very excited to see Sun Java RTS and
Solaris 10 OS as a core software platform for ITT's Eglin Space
Surveillance Radar project.” said Jeet Kaul,
Vice President Client Software Group. “ITT,
along with other companies in industries such as aeronautics, industrial
control, and robotics, are increasingly looking for standards-based,
sustainable solutions that enable excellent predictability and at the
same time help reduce their costs. Java RTS is a great choice for these
companies since it allows developers to write rigorous real-time
controls and run them on the hardware of their choice, at a fraction of
the cost – and in days rather than months of
development time.”
Sun Java Real-Time System
Sun Java RTS is the first enterprise-class solution to formally address
the issues of latency and unpredictable temporal performance of Java
applications and is fully compliant with the industry standard Real-Time
Specification for Java and with Java(TM) Platform Standard Edition (Java
SE). It enables hard, soft, and non-real-time functions to be combined
in one system, while keeping critical latencies as low as 20
microseconds. Using Sun Java RTS, developers can easily differentiate
processes based on their importance and precisely determine when
time-critical functions should be executed through new, and innovative
memory models. Sun Java RTS takes full advantage of real-time
capabilities of the Solaris 10 OS and runs on more than 900 standard x86
and SPARC(R) hardware platforms supported by this operating system. The
upcoming 2.1 release of Java RTS, (beta version in April), will also be
available on leading mainstream real-time Linux distributions from Red
Hat and Novell.
