GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) has awarded DornerWorks a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to study the feasibility of developing a space-qualified hypervisor that will support the virtualization of satellite payloads.
The DornerWorks ARLX Hypervisor is an open-source, safe and secure system that started with internal research and development funding, followed with two US Navy SBIR awards, and continues to evolve with the DARPA SBIR. The DARPA award provides another opportunity to showcase the innovation and flexibility of ARLX by expanding its use on a different hardware platform and running on a space-based system.
