PikeOS -Hypervisor and RTOS in the same product. Aerospace and Defense, Automotive for Safety and Security systems and Multi-Core certification

PikeOS hypervisor RTOS technology combines a real-time operating system and a hypervisor in the same product. In addition, it offers a separation kernel-based hypervisor with multiple partitions for different APIs and operating systems, including Linux, ARINC 653, POSIX, and PikeOS native real time. As a result, it enables you to build devices for environments with strong demands for safety and security. Sightsys officially distributes PikeOS in Israel, providing local sales, technical support, and integration assistance to embedded development teams across the country.

Why Choose PikeOS Hypervisor RTOS

When you build safety- and security-critical systems, you need both deterministic real-time performance and strong isolation between software components. In contrast, traditional RTOS solutions handle real time but lack hardware-level partitioning, while standard hypervisors lack hard real-time guarantees. Therefore, PikeOS uniquely combines both — giving you a single platform that satisfies both demands.

For example, mixed-criticality systems can run a Linux partition for the user interface, an ARINC 653 partition for safety-certified code, and a PikeOS native partition for hard real-time control — all on the same processor. As a result, your hardware costs drop while your system architecture becomes far cleaner.

Highest Safety Certification

The technology behind PikeOS enables it to work in products that demand the highest safety level. For example, it supports DO-178C for avionics systems at the highest level — DAL A certification. Furthermore, the technology is ready for multi-core certification at the highest level. Therefore, aerospace and defense programs can confidently adopt PikeOS as their foundation platform.

Highest Security Certification

Not only safety — PikeOS hypervisor RTOS also achieves the highest security standards. As of today, it is certified to EAL 5+ under Common Criteria. Moreover, this certification is possible because PikeOS enforces strict separation between partitions and uses smart, controlled communication mechanisms that keep inter-partition data exchange safe and secure. As a result, you can confidently deploy PikeOS in cybersecurity-sensitive applications.

Proven in Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, and Transportation

SYSGO is one of the first companies in the world to achieve multi-core certification at the highest level for embedded virtualization technology. In addition, the company has live deployments in aerospace and defense as well as automotive and transportation vertical markets. Therefore, PikeOS is not a theoretical solution — it is a battle-tested platform powering critical systems worldwide.
