About this technology

Overview

The Core Flight Executive (cFE) provides software bus, time, event, executive, table, and file services, and it defines the application programming interface (API) for each set function. Applications subscribe to cFE services at runtime, making system modifications easy. Facilitating rapid prototyping, new applications can be compiled, linked, loaded, and started without requiring the entire system to be rebuilt.
