Lockheed Martin Information Systems - Quintron Operations Buys 17 Concurrent Systems
Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ:CCUR) announced today that Lockheed Martin Information Systems - Quintron Operations purchased 16 Power Hawk 640s, one Power Hawk 620, and Concurrent's real-time software environment, PowerWorks.
Employed by the U.S. Air Force's prime contractor, The Boeing Company, Quintron Operations was seeking an affordable real-time solution for its part task navigation system trainers. Quintron's simulation trainers will be used to train U.S. Air Force personnel on the T-1A Jayhawk. For such a demanding application, Quintron Operations required a real-time system that could re-use existing Ada code and enable a quick development time frame.
Quintron selected Concurrent's PowerWorks environment, a complete software development package that includes the PowerMAX OS operating system, high-performance compilers, and the NightStar real-time software development tool set, because it provides a powerful, flexible environment for the most demanding real-time applications. Quintron chose the Power Hawk 640, Concurrent's dual CPU module real-time computer system, because it incorporates the latest integrated circuit and packaging technology and provides high reliability and performance in a compact package.
"Concurrent not only offered the best real-time solution for our trainers, but also has the best real-time Ada debugger we've used," said Greco Myren, Software Project Lead Engineer, Lockheed Martin - Quintron Operations. "Furthermore, Concurrent's customer service staff responds to my Ada questions faster and better than any other company."
"Superior aircraft training is the backbone of the U.S. Air Force's effectiveness," said Corky Siegel, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Concurrent Computer Corporation. "Concurrent has long supported the training efforts of the Air Force by offering contemporary software and hardware solutions capable of keeping pace with high-end militarized applications."
