Object Technology, particularly the Common Object Request Broker (CORBA), offers several benefits for embedded military systems including support for application diversity, interface management, technology insertion, system evolution, distribution, reconfiguration, and open standards, as well as mainstream commercial availability. These systems place requirements on the technology including support for embedding, hard and soft realtime, and fault tolerance, as well as a high level of assurance of correct operation. To serve this market, the existing technology should be extended to allow for and encourage increased configurability, predictable timing and resource utilization, performance characterization, the ability to configure static implementations, application management of time and system resources, asynchronous interactions and/or time-outs, full prioritization, implementations free of priority inversion, fault tolerance, and application fault and error handling.
