PTC Perc is designed to support mission-critical aerospace and defense applications. The US Department of Defense has mandated a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) as the business and technical strategy for designing and developing affordable and adaptable systems. MOSA adopts open standards and supports a modular, loosely coupled, and highly cohesive system structure. The Java language embodies MOSA principles and PTC Perc brings real-time determinism and increased security to Java.
