Spanish shipbuilding company, Navantia, has chosen RTI Connext from Real-Time Innovations (RTI) to power its mission-critical systems.
Software framework company RTI is the trusted partner for Navantia’s advanced naval projects, including combat systems, navigation systems, and new research initiatives within its Center of Excellence (COEX) for Naval Systems, part of the broader Navantia COEX network.
RTI Connext supports Navantia’s diverse technology stack, which includes C++ and Linux for combat systems, and a mix of Python, C++, and Android in the COEX division. Connext streamlines system development, cutting debugging time to mere hours.
“Connext simplifies our development processes, allowing our teams to focus resources on other time sensitive challenges rather than low-level communication issues. Its robust tools and extensive documentation make it an ideal solution for our integration needs, especially with third-party components and other shipbuilders,” said Luis Arce, Head of Systems Engineering at Navantia.”Connext is deeply embedded into our operational framework and provides the real-time connectivity essential for our most complex systems .”
Navantia needed a solution that would reduce integration complexity and strengthen compatibility with partners and third-party technologies within its ecosystem. By working with RTI, Navantia benefits from a more optimised and standardised platform—saving time and improving data modelling. RTI’s comprehensive tools and on-the-ground support in Spain also play a key role in driving these tangible results.
“Navantia’s trust in RTI for its most advanced naval programs underscores the reliability of our technology and the essential role Connext plays in enabling complex systems to evolve and innovate at scale,” said John Breitenbach, Director of Aerospace and Defense Markets at RTI. “We’re proud to continue this valued partnership and support Navantia in accelerating scaleable, interoperable systems that will help shape the future of naval defence.”
Beyond powering core naval operations, Connext ensures all systems remain current and supported while providing access to newer technology capabilities for future development and deployment.
