The key factors in L-3 Display System's choice of LynuxWorks' RTOS, which is DO-178B certifiable, were its adherence to open standards, its Linux compatibility, the interoperability benefits of a Posix API and support for the ARINC-653 specification.

OK.
At what point does the Pilot succumb to Data overload and get shot out of the sky with a 12.7mm Heavy machine gun?

Excellent stuff SA.
RealTime stuff is can get pretty tricky. Good thing they won't have to use HP-1000/RTE systems. I used to work with them at a telecom company. The pilot would have a heck of a time programming the 16 rockers on the front panel if it was having trouble! The only way to get an HP-1000 system to fly was to toss it off a tall building!
