Aerospace & Defense Solutions

Aerospace and defense applications require the highest level of reliable, real-time performance. Tactical communication systems often need to be installed or reconfigured within hours. Command data must be delivered with 100% accuracy. RTI technology and expertise have played a key role in many mission-critical aerospace and defense systems.

RTI's software and services are particularly well-suited to helping you meet network-centric integration requirements. RTI is the world's leading supplier of software, consulting services and training for the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard. The DDS standard's data-centric approach to integration aligns it with net-centric principles.

DDS is a mandated standard for publish-subscribe messaging by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR). Programs that have adopted DDS include the U.S. Navy's Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) and FORCEnet; the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS); and the joint Air Force, Navy and DISA Net-Centric Enterprise Solutions for Interoperability (NESI).
