Linux řídí vojenské vozidlo

Peregrin (neregistrovaný)Moment, jestli jsem ten článek správně pochopil, tak současná verze R-Gatoru je džíp, který může být buď řízen člověkem, nebo se řídit sám? Wow! Tak to už je jako v tom seriálu Night Rider, kterej běžel, když jsem byl malej (akorát tam bylo auto častěji řízeno řidičem, tady je to naopak). Akorát je škoda, že v budoucnu se už tohoto konceptu držet nechtějí (zmínka a nákresy na konci článku) :-(

anonymníLinux helps RTOS vendor win major defense contract
Apr. 11, 2005
LynuxWorks expects to double revenue and increase staffing 30 percent within a year, thanks to an enormous US defense project. The company says its LynxOS-178 operating system was chosen for the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Integrated Computer System (ICS), largely due to Linux binary compatibility.

According to Singh, 18 major defense contractors are involved in FCS, which could ultimately cost $145 to $200 billion, including vehicles, sensors, weapons systems, and more. The ICS part of FCS involves seven distinct hardware platforms, Singh says, including PowerPC, Apogee 5, and multi-core processors, as well as advanced networking technologies, such as software-defined radio.

a ano je to skor pravidlom, ze v specialke je Linux
There are a number of applications which are being used or developed for the International Space Station. This page will essentially repeat the article which was published at page 74 of the March issue of the Linux Journal. There are many people in the UK who are not able to get hold of the Linux Journal. This will help them to be more up to date.
RACSI was originally developed on Linux Slackware with a 2.0.30 kernel. This was to be used and is used on an IBM ThinkPad. RACSI was programmed in ANSI C. It uses the Moo-Tiff libraries from InfoMagic. A desktop version has also been tried with SuSE 5.2 and kernel 2.0.33.
