This year, RTI received two SBIR awards and is presently being evaluated for a third.
The Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility at Eglin Air Force base awarded RTI the contract valued at $742,000 for advanced visualisation tool development in networking, control systems, and simulation.
RTI will deliver commercial-grade software for a new class of visualisation tools specifically designed for common networking transports such as Ethernet as well as specialised ones such as Scramnet.

Real-time middleware meets new DDS standard
NDDS (Network Data Distribution Service), RTI's publish-subscribe middleware, is now available based on the Object Management Group's (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS, V1.0).
Data distribution platform runs on Integrity RTOS
Real-Time Innovations and Green Hills Software have developed a standards-based data distribution platform for embedded applications demanding total reliability and absolute security.
In addition to integrating with popular networking middleware standards, including the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) and Corba, the tools will provide multi-platform support of Windows, Linux and Solaris.
Funding in the amount of $729,000 was approved by the US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center in Picatinny, New Jersey, for strategic consultancy services.
The contract supports developing an open framework for component-based development of complex, pluggable systems for automated materiel handling and supply.
The new technology will be tested on the Smart Crane Ammunition Transfer System (SCATS) that improves handling efficiencies and reduces pallet acquisition and loading times.
The third proposal is in process.
The award from the US Navy would fund the development of integrated network middleware that complies with industry-standards and provides for robust state-synchronisation.
The proposed model makes the state information accessible using the DDS API (application programmer interface) as well as standard data-mining languages such as SQL and OBDC.
By enabling seamless integration of publish-subscribe, client-server and state propagation communication patterns, a new level of robustness and dynamism can be achieved in distributed systems.
"The diversity of these SBIR awards is a true testament to RTIs innovative technology and expertise in real-time data-distribution technologies and advanced tool development", said Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Chief Technology Officer of Real Time Innovations.
"SBIR funds the critical startup and development stages and encourages the commercialisation of the technology, which in turn stimulates the US economy".
