Executive summary:
The U.S. Air Force and its mission partners are fielding new mission capabilities on airframes and command-and-control (C2) nodes to compress the kill chain. The find, fix, track, target, engage, assess (F2T2EA) process requires ubiquitous access to data at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. Red Hat® Device Edge embeds captured, analyzed, and federated data sets in a manner that positions the warfighter to use artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to increase the accuracy of airborne targeting and mission-guidance systems. Challenges of edge computing on aircraft and other tactical C2 edge nodes include delivering consistent capabilities on diverse hardware (new and old, connected and disconnected), meeting airworthiness security requirements, and efficiently sustaining software at scale. The Air Force can meet these requirements with Red Hat Device Edge, the edge-optimized software platform that is hardware agnostic.

PS make sure you’re using Red Hat’s init system too. Because the more devices that run it, the more extra features it deserves and the quicker systemd’s CVEs* will get fixed, maximizing convenience and security; https://app.opencve.io/cve/?q=systemd

    My one regret with recently ditching systemd is that I didn’t learn of the shady shit that’s been going on for years and ditch it sooner.

    Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse Red Hat goes and outdoes itself again.

        The corporate ties to Microsoft, Meta, etc. The founder of systemd being ex Microsoft (including working on TPM). He also said that he thinks that people shouldn’t have a choice of init systems and that there should be only one - systemd.

        He’s repeatedly made unpopular additions and changes to systemd, forcing them through, despite others protesting. Some of which has corporate capture stink.

        That same founder pushing for age verification after having founded a company that specialises in “verifiable integrity”

        Some of it you can read here: https://tboteproject.com/systemdfindings/

        Other stuff is in the systemd (and probably redhat but I dont use that or Fedora) mailing list a over the years.
