From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

Oh darn, sorry. I had searched for "kill cycle" but it isn't in the results, not the first ones at least.
