Real-Time Innovations to upgrade Navy Hawkeye weapons system

SANTA CLARA, Calif., 31 May 2007. Real-Time Innovations (RTI) won a small business innovative research (SBIR) Phase II contract by the Naval Air Systems (NAVAIR) Command. RTI was awarded the SBIR to research technologies relevant to an ongoing upgrade to the Navy E-2C Hawkeye weapons system.

The E-2C Hawkeye is a tactical airborne early-warning system that provides a carrier-based platform for identifying and analyzing threats, coordinating surveillance, and directing countermeasures in defensive roles.

The contract awarded RTI is a Phase II SBIR effort with a value of $600,000, along with a $150,000 option for additional follow-on development.

This SBIR award will be used for continued research and development with respect to the following four aspects of RTI Data Distribution Service that impact the E-2C Hawkeye upgrade program:

Performance optimization, especially latency and data throughput

Portability across architectures, hardware, and operating systems

Security best practices as defined by Common Criteria Information Assurance

Tools related to the development and quality of applications taking advantage of features in RTI Data Distribution Service
