Lynx Software Technologies, a global leader in scalable, safe, secure and resilient platforms for mission-critical systems, has officially announced a rebrand to Lynx.
According to certain reports, this rebrand will see the company unite Lynx Software Technologies, CoreAVI, Thompson Software Solutions. and Timesys under a single brand to address the unique challenges of aerospace, defense, automotive, commercial, and medical industries, thus enabling them to Seize the Edge™.
More on that would reveal how the stated integration will make it possible for Lynx to deliver robust, certification-ready software solutions, combining modularity, GPU and CPU compute capabilities, and Linux integration. Not just that, the company’s consolidated offerings also empower organizations to overcome stringent safety and security requirements, while simultaneously accelerating time-to-market and reducing development complexity.
Talk about Lynx’s newly-introduced enhancements on a slightly deeper level, they relate to, for starters, the modularity aspect. We get to say so because the company’s MOSA.ic has now enabled a “shift-left” approach to let customers build software-defined systems that prioritize flexibility and software disaggregation.
Moving on to improvements in the context GPU graphics, the stated assortment has CoreAVI’s CoreSuite 2.0 integrating GPU compute for real-time and DO 178C DAL A certified graphics processing, something which is understood to be critical for modern avionics and automotive displays.
Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in the Linux integration. Deploying Timesys tools and expertise, Lynx should be able to ensure seamless incorporation of open-source Linux technologies, and therefore, bridge the gap between innovation and certification.
“Lynx today represents the power of integration and our unwavering focus on enabling our customers to develop and deploy safe, secure and certifiable systems for the mission-critical edge,” said Tim Reed, CEO of Lynx Software Technologies. “As edge use cases broaden with the rise of autonomy, AI, ML and the need to generate and analyze vast amounts of data, Lynx addresses these challenges with a ‘system-of-systems’ approach.”
As for the industries that Lynx’s unified solutions will serve, we begin from Aerospace & Defense, where the company will deliver unmatched scalability, modularity, MOSA ready and certification-ready platforms to let organizations meet stringent standards, such as DO-178C, MIL-HDBK-516C, NIST SP 800-53, DO 330 and more.
The integration of CoreAVI’s GPU compute and graphics, alongside LYNX MOSA.ic’s modular architecture, also treads up a long distance to ensure optimal performance for mission-critical avionics, sensor fusion, AI, and real-time decision-making systems.
Next up, we must assess how the automotive industry stands to gain from Lynx’s now formalized unification. You see, with autonomous vehicles becoming more and more commonplace, industry needs and standards are also steadily evolving. In response, Lynx’s solutions effectively empower OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to meet ISO 26262 functional safety standards, and at the same, utilize AI and ML at the edge.
Complementing this would be the availability of modular software architectures that support scalable designs. These designs, on their part, can be expected to reduce development costs, as well as accelerate innovation in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle platforms.
Then, there is the industrial and medical space, where Lynx will provide secure, real-time operating environments that support interoperability, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven diagnostics. On top of that, the seamless integration of Timesys Vigiles’ SBOM management functionality is also going to enhance operational resilience and regulatory compliance.
“By providing a software-defined operating environment capable of running on both CPU- and GPU-based edge platforms, Lynx enables customers to develop solutions with software disaggregation in mind, shift left with cloud-native practices and achieve regulatory compliance and resilience. This integration directly addresses the diverse needs of our customers in aerospace, defense, automotive and beyond,” said Reed.
Founded in 1988, Lynx’s rise up the ranks stems from delivering scalable, safe, secure, resilient, and certifiable software solutions, meant for mission-critical edge platforms and secure edge computing solutions. The company’s excellence in what it does can be understood once you consider it delivered the industry’s first ever safety-certified IPv6 software stack, setting a new standard in secure connectivity.
Lynx’s technology is also trusted by critical systems like Panoramic Cockpit Display (PCD) and Integrated Core Processor (ICP) to enhance real-time performance for advanced defense aircraft.
