Unmanned Systems Interoperability
In unmanned systems, integration of multiple sub-assemblies into a finished system is a major challenge. These assemblies consist of sensors that provide input to the actuators used to control the system, other sensors that provide information to users of the system, controllers that users use to control the system, and output devices that are used to display information gathered by the system. Each of these integration points can reside on different processor architectures, use different communication protocols and even be implemented in different programming languages.
Compounding this problem further is the need for unmanned systems to collaborate on more sophisticated missions than originally envisaged. This requires integration between components in different systems developed by different manufacturers using different protocols and standards.
Distrix simplifies the development of unmanned systems by providing a robust, standards-agnostic, distributed information bus architecture. Information can be distributed across systems-of-systems without the need to enforce common standards removing the need for costly redevelopment.
