 (IDE) to develop flight simulators for training commercial airline pilots. The total contract value for these systems is more than $200,000. After the development phase, Camber plans to purchase an additional three run-time systems per year.

The Power Hawk real-time system features dual PowerPC(TM)-based microprocessor modules that can be linked for closely-coupled multiprocessing. The Power Hawk is well-recognized by government and industry for its use in real-time simulation, data acquisition, and process control applications. PowerWorks IDE, which includes Concurrent's real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. , PowerMAX OS(TM) and the NightStar(TM) development tools, facilitates rapid and cost-effective development. Concurrent's integrated systems have been used for a broad spectrum of real-time simulation and testing applications.
