Lucknow: Bengaluru-based Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Friday handed over document related to India’s first indigenously designed and developed Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam at the ongoing DefExpo-2020.
The document was handed over by Arup Chatterjee, Director (Engineering and R&D), HAL to T Jayanthi, Director (Electronics & Instrumentation Group), IGCAR in the presence of HAL CMD R Madhavan and other senior officials from HAL and IGCAR.
The HAL-RTOS is certified by CEMILAC for airborne applications and is being used in the development of indigenous avionics systems within HAL.
The RTOS is based on international standards such as ARINC-653 and provides the underlying system with absolute reliability, maximum real-time performance and enhanced security.
The HAL-RTOS is also suitable for use in nuclear applications such as the Instrumentation and Control Systems.
The use of HAL-RTOS will not only ensure real-time application execution in a fault-tolerant manner but also enhance the overall safety and security of the nuclear power plant.
