About

Founded in 1966, Concurrent Real-Time is a defense software developer based in Pompano Beach, United States working in defense software & ai, simulation & training.

Concurrent Real-Time is a provider of real-time Linux software, hardware and professional services for mission-critical applications. Its portfolio centres on the RedHawk Linux real-time operating system, the RedHawk KVM-RT hypervisor, FPGA Workbench for FPGA-based real-time solutions, and the NightStar suite of debugging and tuning tools. Its hardware includes iHawk systems, RCIM interrupt modules and SignalHawk I/O cards. Target applications include hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop simulation, data acquisition, industrial control, embedded defense systems, and applications in automotive, aerospace and defense, energy, transportation, finance and research. The company is part of HBK's Virtual Test Division, within Spectris plc, which acquired it in July 2021. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified, lists several US defense-related associations among its memberships, and states that RedHawk Linux is approved under the U.S. Navy DADMS process.
