Royal Malaysian Navy's Laksamana Class Corvettes High-availability naval command-and-control system upgrades
The CTI 2000 is an integrated Compact Redundant Naval Console that is part of a $15 million upgrade of the command-and-control systems on two Royal Malaysian Navy Laksamana Class corvettes, awarded to Alenia Marconi Systems (AMS) in 2002. The CTI 2000 is a collaborative effort between AMS, Elesia, Thales Computers (now part of Kontron), and Primagraphics (now part of Curtiss-Wright Controls). The new command-and-control system, known as IPN-S, will allow the Malaysian Naval Force to make optimum use of the ship's combat system in a complex battlespace. The CTI 2000 is the first naval console based on a PowerPC® board running Linux®.
Thales Computers PowerEngine boards will serve as the central processors in each of the CTI 2000's two modules. A Man Machine Interface (MMI) module will run under BlueCat® Linux and a real-time module will run under LynxOS®. Both are installed in the same VME rack. Elesia developed the high-availability architecture and a high-availability library used in the CTI 2000, and also supplies a PMC Mezzanine Card for enhanced I/O. Curtiss-Wright Controls (formerly Primagraphics) is supplying an advanced graphics PMC.
