RTI Joins Forces with Samsung Thales on Naval Combat Systems Development
RTI Data Distribution Service provides real-time data distribution infrastructure in support of weapon system for Korean Navy
Santa Clara, CA, September 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Real-Time Innovations (RTI), The Real-Time Middleware Experts, today announced an agreement to provide Samsung Thales with RTI Data Distribution Service software and related services in support of the FFX-I naval combat system for the Republic of South Korea. RTI Data Distribution Service offers a comprehensive solution for distributing and managing real-time data across a distributed system, ensuring performance, real-time quality-of-service and scalability.
To replace existing frigate ships in operation, the FFX-I naval combat system includes the mission computer functions installed in the legacy FFK combat systems. The FFX-I combat system’s automated functions include target detection, tracking, threat assessment and weapon control for efficient combat execution, allowing operation with a minimum of personnel.
The government procurement agency and design authority (DA) for the FFX-I combat system is the Agency for Defense Development (ADD). Samsung Thales was awarded the prime contract for the FFX-I system integration/command and fire-control system (SI/CFCS)—the core component of the FFX-I combat system—and has contracted with RTI for a real-time data communications solution that encompasses the sensors, instruments and computers controlling the ship’s weapon system.
RTI professional services will help to ensure that performance goals for the Samsung Thales project are met. RTI’s highly trained and experienced engineers excel at implementing demanding real-time applications. Samsung Thales has engaged RTI professional services throughout the life of the project because of RTI’s excellent reputation for designing, building and testing complex data-driven applications.
“RTI excels in complex data-distribution and management requirements posed by mission-critical real-time systems,” explained David Barnett, VP of Product Management for RTI. “RTI Data Distribution Service features and capabilities reflect the lessons learned from that extensive experience. In addition, RTI professional services delivers expertise to ensure that customer requirements for overall performance and functionality are met.”
