turboRTAG
Many systems, especially defense systems, were developed before interoperability and open architectures were mandatory for new designs. In order for the government to receive maximum return on a Program Of Record R&D investment it is essential that high-value systems and subsystems be readily adapted for use on platforms not anticipated in the original specification. But the use of proprietary (closed) architectures and interfaces in these systems makes their migration into new environments both difficult and expensive.
MNB’s turboRTAG is a hardware accelerated runtime adaptive gasket. Built on our common hardware platform (or CHP) the turboRTAG is specifically intended to expedite and simplify the task of integrating heterogeneous systems into a common open architecture without requiring significant (if any) support from the OEM.
By using commodity standards-based electro-mechanical interfaces, an open source operating system (Linux), and COTS components the CHP provides a cost effective and easily sustained system integration vehicle. Adding to the capabilities of the CHP is our developmental micro.NET Framework. Based on the open source MONO project sponsored by Novell, our micro.NET brings the usability and power of the .NET Framework to embedded systems and protocol translation.
Further simplifying heterogeneous system integration is “common” our extension to the SOAP standard for XML-based data transaction between CHPs. At MNB we have not forgotten that the operative term in “open architecture” is “open”.
