Rockwell Collins Venue HD Cabin Management System is powered by Atego’s flagship virtual machine technology
San Diego, USA and Cheltenham, UK – 13th April 2010. Atego, the leading independent supplier of industrial-grade, collaborative development tools for engineering complex, mission- and safety-critical architectures, systems, software and hardware, announces the latest successful deployment of its Aonix PERC Ultra® Virtual Machine in Rockwell Collins’ Venue high definition (HD) Cabin Management System (CMS). The most recent certification was completed on the Cessna Citation CJ4 business jet. The award-winning Venue™ HD CMS, built and delivered by Rockwell Collins, is standard equipment on this new aircraft.
“Rockwell Collins’ Venue CMS is a great example of the flexibility and applicability of Java™ to many application types,” commented James B. Gambrell, Executive Chairman at Atego. “Aonix PERC Ultra is deployed in weapons systems, network infrastructure product, transportation systems and now, world-class in-flight entertainment. We’re very pleased to be part of this exciting new product delivery.”
Already deployed in hundreds of thousands of systems in the military/aerospace, telecommunications, transportation and industrial control markets, Aonix PERC Ultra is used by Rockwell Collins in its Venue cabin management system, providing deterministic, real-time performance and high productivity development. Venue combines home theatre quality XM Radio, hi-def Blu-Ray™ DVD and integrated real-time flight status information, together with cabin environmental cooling and heating features.
To support its real-time response requirements, Rockwell Collins relies on Aonix PERC Ultra’s reliability and predictability in performance envelopes supporting millisecond latencies. Aonix PERC Ultra’s real-time Java capabilities can guarantee the predictability and reliability of the system’s operation even within multi-role applications such as Venue. Additionally, Atego supported Rockwell Collins’ project with updated Java interfaces to OpenGL for 2D and 3D graphics through a Java OpenGL (JOGL) wrapper to enable access to OpenGL libraries from within a Java context.
