In case you missed it, yesterday Wind River announced
that VxWorks has been selected for the European Geostationary
Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), and has been chosen to run the
Integrity Processing Facility (IPF) check set.
The IPF, developed and delivered by Logica, is the crucial element that validates the information broadcast by the satellites to safety-critical users such as aircraft in flight or ships navigating through narrow channels. This is essential, because satellite navigation systems alone do not provide sufficient positional accuracy to be used in safety-critical applications.
