Chimera does not lock users into proprietary infrastructure. It uses commercially available technologies and libraries. Its modular open system design means no piece of architecture is vendor locked – eliminating the dependency on vendor required updates and ensuring adaptability for future mission needs.
Chimera does not copy data between modules. It passes a pointer to the data in memory. This process maximize performance and eliminates the need to make costly copies in memory. Chimera applications include:
- Tracking applications
- Image processing
- Command and control
- Communications
- Distributed computing
- 3rd party algorithms
- Artificial intelligence/machine learning inference engine
- Containerized applications
- Modular open system applications
- Open mission systems
- Future airborne capability requirements
