>From a lwn announcement.. Stealing their blurb: """ ThalesRaytheonSystems has announced the winning of a $25.6 million contract with the US Air Force to upgrade the NORAD Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F), which controls the North American airspace. "Having common software and a common human-machine interface between the fixed and mobile communities will reduce development, testing, and training costs for the Air Force," said Daniel De Sollar, director of ThalesRaytheonSystems Air C2 Systems in the U.S. "The upgrades will not only ensure a common look and feel between today's BCS-F and the mobile command and control variant, but they will also convert to the Linux operating system in order to take advantage of the latest hardware available."
