Reliable Operation

• The LPD-17 Ship-Wide Area Network (SWAN) runs machinery, damage control, steering, magnetic signature, mission control, navigation, communication

• Redundant networks, data, sensors and RTI middleware provide non-stop reliability


Real-Time Performance

• The Ship Self Defense System is the “last line of defense”

• SSDS coordinates high-speed radars, targets defensive missiles, and directs 1000+ rounds/sec at incoming cruise missiles

• SSDS is at sea now

• RTI delivers messages in real time


System Integration

• RTI is the leading vendor of combat system messaging

• RTI connects disparate systems, merges multiple languages on multiple operating systems, handles DIL links and legacy interfaces

• RTI enables easy, large-scale integration


Flexible Connectivity

• CAE, one of the world's leading providers of simulation and training, uses RTI over high-bandwidth IEEE-1394 for its flight simulator

• Middleware provides transport portability and architecture interoperability

"In the past we probably would have developed an expensive, proprietary system for data communications. By using RTI, we were able to deliver a proven, reliable and cost effective solution to our customers.”

- Peter Jarvis, Chief Designer


24x7 Operation

• Air traffic control requires 24x7 operation. Hot swap service is critical hardware or software failures mean flight delays and substantial costs

• Without disrupting the data flow, RTI permits fast addition, updating and removal of system nodes


Crisp Interface Design

• The 34 ATLANTIDA consortium organizations design air traffic management for Europe

• RTI middleware will integrate civilian, military, and unmanned aircraft into a coordinated airspace

• DDS will be used in both ground stations and unmanned vehicles

• RTI middleware cleanly specifies interfaces between modules and defines the dataflow that coordinates the large, distributed team


Technology Upgrades

• AWACS provides airborne surveillance, command & control for battle management

• Then AWACS upgrade design is more open and supportable

• Open and extensible middleware lowers maintenance cost


Multi-Channel Connections

• The BASE TEN RoboScout unmanned ground vehicle integrates steering, braking, acceleration, dashboard, mapping, and up to 12 video feeds

• “RTI is at the core of our modular and highly scalable environment.”

Open Architecture

• RTI powers the SPY radar for the Aegis Weapon System

• This highly distributed system of radar, weapons, displays and controls complies with the Navy Open Architecture

• Standards-based, high-performance middleware avoids vendor lock-in and future-proofs the architectural design


Unmanned Vehicle Architecture

• RTI is working with the OSD to define a standard architecture for unmanned vehicles

• RTI is key to the architecture and data model efforts for both UCS (ground stations) and FACE (avionics)


Fast Development

• General Atomics Advanced Cockpit Ground Control Stations deliver real-time data acquisition, analysis, and response for unmanned aircraft systems such as Predator®

• GA selected RTI for proven software & services

• This application was delivered in under 14 months, significantly faster than with alternative software or building in house

• Middleware speeds development


Wireless Links

• NASA’s Human-Robotic Systems prototypes robots for extraterrestrial surfaces

• The project coordinates four NASA centers building four different robots. They operate in realistic environments, including over low-bandwidth, high-delay, lossy communications

• RTI middleware allows these very different systems to share common data communications over disadvantaged links


DIL Connection


Advanced Tech in Legacy Environments

• The VW Driver Assistance and Integrated Safety system combines radars, laser range finders, and video to assist safe operation

• It helps avoid obstacles, detect lane departures, track eye activity, and safely negotiate bends

• Advanced safety systems must connect to existing hardware. RTI middleware bridges high speed networking to the CAN bus


Hardware in the Loop

• A modern car contains 100+ CPUs

• Audi uses hardware-in-the-loop simulation to feed realistic data to components in a lab for testing

• RTI middleware enables a modular test environment that scales to work with hundreds of devices


Scalability

• Harmonic transmission and video switching equipment delivers worldwide video-on-demand

• RTI enables high-performance scalability and future extensibility


Database Integration

• Light and strong advanced composites make advanced aircraft quiet and efficient

• Lund Engineering uses RTI to integrate the composite inspection system

• Critically, all data must be saved for validation; RTI’s database integration saves all data to permanent storage


Precise Control

• European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope can see objects four billion times fainter than can be seen with the unaided eye

• The telescopes use hundreds of servo mirrors and scientific instruments

• RTI middleware coordinates precise control and measurement

High Throughput Load Control

• RTI powers Varian’s NMR and MRI product lines

• Any one of the sixteen MRI receivers can saturate a 1Gbit network.

• RTI controls and optimizes network use to handle megabytes of load without losing data

“RTI delivered great functionality at a low cost. Using RTI middleware saved us a lot of money, time, and effort compared to our previous in-house developed solution.”


Reliable Uptime

• Mevion’s Proton-Beam Radiation Therapy system zaps tumors with accelerated protons

• The treatment must be continuous for 30-40 days; downtime endangers treatment success

• Mevion’s PBRT delivers dependable treatment at low cost


Industry Interoperation

• The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) standard specifies interoperability for medical devices

• All ICU & operating room devices — from blood pressure cuffs to intravenous pumps to ventilators — could be interconnected according to the ICE standard

– Complete logging– Automatic error detection– Better care

• The DDS standard and RTI middleware enables plug & play interoperability across manufacturers


Fan Out/Fan In

• Blue Force Tracker (JBC-P) must process 200,000+ tracks.

• The legacy design was:– Proprietary – 1.5m SLOC– 12,000 tracks– 11 servers w/88 cores– Unreliable

• The DDS design is:– 100% standards based– 50k SLOC– 250,000 tracks– 80% of a single core– Fully redundant– Reliable multicast


Asset Tracking

• Wi-Tronix systems wirelessly monitor high-value mobile assets such as locomotives, industrial equipment and marine vessels

• RTI addressed critical issues such as optimized flow and discovery process over a wireless network

• RTI middleware works effectively over lossy wireless networks


Real-Time & IT Integration

• Siemens Wind Power fields farms of 500 turbines with 100m blades

• RTI enables fast control within turbines and distributed gust mitigation across the array

• RTI will also integrate with predictive maintenance and business diagnostics

• RTI melds real-time with IT
