FORCE1

FORCE1 is a rugged software reference platform comprising COTS boards packaged in a proven chassis design. It is intended to provide a platform for customers to try COTS software, develop application code, and demonstrate capabilities on a rugged platform that is capable of being deployed on real airborne platforms.

The Future Airborne Capability Environment Consortium (FACE™) is leading the development of open standards for avionics systems.  The intention of the standard is to bring interoperability and portability of applications, as well as ensuring a robust architecture and quality software development.

The FACE architecture is intended to drive more capabilities to the warfighter faster, while stimulating innovation within the avionics industry.

FACE™ is a trademark of The Open Group in the United States and other countries.
