Expeditious Path to FACE and Safety Certification

The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment® Consortium, or FACE Consortium, collaborates on technical and business standards to promote software reuse across disparate airborne platforms, both piloted and autonomous. Within the widely-adopted FACE architecture, the Transport Services Segment (TSS) provides the APIs and capabilities that FACE portable components use to exchange data.

RTI Connext TSS provides an off-the-shelf TSS solution that:

• Accelerates component development and integration,
• Runs on a wide variety of operating systems and CPUs, and
• Is customizable to meet system-specific requirements. Connext TSS is available as an add-on product for RTI customers with a license to RTI Connext.

The RTI Connext TSS Advantage RTI Connext TSS is certified conformant to the FACE TSS software standard. Connext TSS is a member of the RTI Connext product suite, making it easy for component developers and systems integrators to take advantage of both the FACE technical standard and the DDS standard. Connext TSS offers decentralized architecture with peer-to-peer communication for low latency and no single point of failure, meaning no brokers or servers are required. To accelerate the integration with FACE conformant software components with legacy systems, systems without data models and non-FACE conformant systems, RTI offers commercial tools enabling the rapid translation of data from different systems into a FACE solution stack.
