“Red Hat today announced that Rymic Systems has chosen Red Hat’s
uClinux port as the operating system for a prototypical vehicle
monitoring device soon to be tested by the United States Army. The
embedded device will be incorporated in the Bradley fighting
vehicles, heavy expanded mobility tactical trucks and humvees —
potentially up to 50,000 Army trucks, service and fighting
vehicles.”
“The Internet device will be tried initially at Fort Riley,
Kansas.”
“Under the terms of this agreement, Red Hat’s uClinux will be
used as the operating system for Rymic’s first series of rymicNET
Internet devices, designed for vehicle diagnostics and predictive
failure analysis, initially to be tested in United States Army
ground vehicles. uClinux is designed to run in less than 512k of
memory while maintaining all of the stability, networking and file
system support advantages of the standard Linux distribution.”
