Embedded developers can now take advantage of a real-time embedded virtualization technology that can
help protect their legacy software investment as they move to new hardware platforms.

This investment is particularly key as hardware platforms shift from single-core to multicore 32- to 64-bit architectures and add new connectivity such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular communications.

COTS solutions have emerged that leverage the innovations driving the commercial mobile data industry while addressing specific military security concerns such as encryption.
