Wind River Launches Software Platform Enabling Multilevel Secure Systems for National Security

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Wind River (NASDAQ:WIND) today introduced VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0, the latest
addition to the industry-leading VxWorks product portfolio, demonstrating Wind
River`s commitment to the security needs of the aerospace and defense
industries.

VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 provides customers with a robust operating system
foundation and an award-winning development environment to build multilevel
secure (MLS) systems. The platform includes a VxWorks runtime environment,
allowing Wind River customers to leverage their in-house VxWorks experts as well
as legacy VxWorks application code within new multilevel secure systems, and a
high-assurance runtime environment for development of guards, downgraders, and
other components requiring the highest security.

The Boeing Company, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Lockheed
Martin Corporation, and Raytheon Company are among the companies working with
VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0.

"The high performance and mature functionality of VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 is
based on seven years of customer experience with our time- and
space-partitioning operating system for avionics implemented in more than 160
projects worldwide," said Marc Brown, vice president of marketing and strategy,
VxWorks Product Division, Wind River. "Customers that will develop on VxWorks
MILS will benefit materially from the reduction of development time, cost, and
risk that our solution offers, while also remaining confident knowing they have
a comprehensive, secure, and stable solution backed by industry leader Wind
River."

The VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 features:

* VxWorks MILS separation kernel, developed to conform to the NIAP-validated
U.S. Government Protection Profile for Separation Kernels in Environments
Requiring High Robustness, Version 1.03 (SKPP);
* Direct support for high-assurance customer applications in partitions, such as
guards and downgraders, using the High Assurance Environment, including a simple
separation kernel interface and secure inter-partition communication (SIPC);
* VxWorks Guest Operating System in partitions, enabling direct porting of
existing VxWorks applications;
* Wind River industry-specific networking technology stacks including IPv4, UDP,
and TCP;
* An extensive offering of targeted drivers and partner middleware; and
* Wind River Workbench, the leading Eclipse-based development suite.

VxWorks MILS 2.0 is officially listed as "In Evaluation" by the National
Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), operated by the National Security
Agency (NSA), for conformance to the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level
(EAL) 6+ and High Robustness. An EAL6+, High Robustness-certified operating
system is designed to be "a highly robust foundation for system services and
applications in mission-critical systems" according to the SKPP.

VxWorks MILS 2.0 is built using Type-1 hypervisor technology, derived from the
Wind River Hypervisor product, also launched today. Wind River Hypervisor
provides high- performance virtualization for single and multicore processors
across a range of vertical market segments. This approach in the VxWorks MILS
architecture maximizes performance (by minimizing partitioning overhead),
maximizes determinism (by reducing partition jitter), and improves fault
isolation and recovery (by isolating guest operating systems and associated
applications). The virtualization provided by the hypervisor, coupled with the
security properties of the entire VxWorks MILS separation kernel, results in a
MILS architecture designed to provide a high level of assurable security.

Availability

Wind River`s VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 will be available on June 26, 2009 on
Power Architecture MPC8641D on the Curtiss-Wright high performance VPX6-185
single board computer. For more information, visit:
