Press Releases

Leading industry partners Intel, Curtiss-Wright, wolfSSL, and SYSGO are proud to announce their collaboration in delivering cutting-edge, safe, and secure commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to the industrial and aerospace markets. By leveraging each company’s expertise, this collaboration enables ruggedized, high-performance computing platforms designed for mission-critical applications that demand both safety and security compliance without specialized software, creating faster time to market solutions.

At the heart of this collaboration is Curtiss-Wright’s VPX3-1262 ruggedized single-board computer (SBC), powered by the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor. This advanced platform is enhanced by wolfSSL’s wolfBoot secure bootloader, incorporating the wolfCrypt cryptography library and Intel’s security technologies, to fortify the boot process against unauthorized access. Additionally, SYSGO’s PikeOS real-time operating system (RTOS) and hypervisor provide further reinforcement through a separation kernel-based architecture, ensuring robust time and resource partitioning while meeting functional safety standards such as DO-178C/ED12-C and IEC 61508.

Intel’s 13^th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processors, equipped with Intel® Silicon Integrity Technology and advanced security features, such as Intel® Trusted Execution Technology and Intel® Boot Guard, are ideally suited for secure safety-critical aviation applications. These technologies provide robust protection against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity, making them a reliable choice for environments where safety and security are paramount.

Curtiss-Wright offers 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor-based ruggedized V3-1222 SBC tailored for industrial applications and certifiable to RTCA DO-254/EUROCAE ED-80 for avionics safety-critical use cases. These platforms bring a higher level of trust to critical applications, ensuring compliance with industry safety and security standards.

wolfSSL’s wolfBoot secure bootloader, integrated with Intel’s advanced security technologies, enables a robust security foundation. Additionally, wolfSSL offers a RTCA DO-178C (up to DAL-A) certifiable version of wolfBoot and wolfCrypt, giving avionics manufacturers access to a secure and certifiable bootloader technology.

SYSGO’s PikeOS RTOS and hypervisor play a crucial role in reinforcing system security by providing a hard real-time operating system with strict partitioning capabilities. The PikeOS architecture enables applications to meet the stringent requirements of safety-critical industries while addressing security needs up to Common Criteria EAL 5+.

“Intel is committed to meeting the evolving needs of our customers who are developing safety-critical systems. We are proud to work with Curtiss Wright, SYSGO and wolfSSL to deliver innovative solutions and meet the highest standards of performance, assurance and security for aviation and industrial industries.” Christine Boles, Vice President and General Manager, Federal and Industrial Solutions, Intel Corporation.

“We are proud to collaborate with wolfSSL, SYSGO and Intel to deliver a higher level of trust to safety and security focused critical end-applications,” said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager at the Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. “Our rugged, high-performance single-board processor, V3-1222, based on the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7, is designed to meet the unique requirements of avionics safety-critical applications.”

“At WolfSSL, we provide the best available secure boot by leveraging hardware root of trust and advanced glitch-resistance. These capabilities not only enhance the security and integrity of embedded systems but also ensure that our customers can trust their devices to function securely in mission critical environments. We set the standard for secure, high-performance cryptography, helping our clients to mitigate risks and achieve maximum cybersecurity in production-grade applications.” Larry Stefonic, CEO, WolfSSL.

“At SYSGO, we are dedicated to providing the highest levels of safety and security for mission-critical systems. Our PikeOS RTOS and hypervisor ensure robust partitioning and compliance with industry standards, making them a perfect fit for aerospace and industrial applications”, says Franz Walkembach, VP Marketing & Alliances. “Collaborating with Intel, Curtiss-Wright, and wolfSSL allows us to deliver a truly integrated solution that meets the most stringent certification requirements.”

Together, Intel, Curtiss-Wright, wolfSSL, and SYSGO are paving the way for next-generation safe and secure computing platforms, reinforcing the industry's commitment to high-assurance computing solutions for aerospace and industrial applications.
