Real-time Industry Expert Doug Locke Joins FSMLabs
FSM Labs, a mission-critical, realtime Linux software company, announced that industry expert and long-time veteran Dr. C. Douglass Locke's consulting firm would join FSMLabs network of expert consultants and integrators with Dr. Locke taking the lead role of Consulting Engineer. Dr. Locke serves to accelerate the growth of FSMLabs aerospace and defense (A&D) market, an area already strategic to FSMLabs' embedded real-time business.
Today, FSMLabs serves customers building A&D applications as diverse as flight and weapons simulation, jet engine testing, robotics and software-defined radios at contractors and research labs that include Harris, Lockheed Martin, NASA, Pratt&Whitney, and Sandia National Labs. These and other exacting developers and deployers of real-time/embedded applications look to FSMLabs for reliability, responsiveness and rapid development using RTLinuxPro and RTCoreBSD.
Having Dr. Locke on the FSMLabs team will further extend the company's ability to reach A&D customers with product, services and training offerings. "Doug brings both engineering and organizational expertise at a very high level," noted Victor Yodaiken, president and CEO of FSMLabs. "Both his extensive real-time architecture and development engineering background and his ongoing consulting practice broaden and deepen our ability to address the requirements of customers building demanding aerospace and communications applications."
Joining the team at FSMLabs gives Dr. Locke's consulting practice an additional base of solid real-time products - RTLinuxPro and RTCoreBSD, with comprehensive COTS hardware support. "More than in any other industry segment, delivering hard real-time responsiveness and finely-tuned performance, on time and within budget, requires a mix of off-the-shelf technology and expert architecture, integration, support, and planning," commented Locke. "FSMLabs products provide a unique combination of hard real-time, wide hardware support, and enterprise level software and software development environments that can accelerate many critical projects."
