Everyone has an AI strategy. Few have the data strategy to make Physical AI actually work. In our latest blog, we explore why Physical AI demands a new approach to data architecture, and how organizations can move from fragile integrations to resilient, scalable systems built for real-world intelligence. If you’re building autonomous systems in automotive, robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, or MedTech, THIS is the shift that matters. 🔗 Read more: rti.com/blog/the-physi… #PhysicalAI #AI #AutonomousSystems #EdgeComputing #DataArchitecture #RTIConnext

While rapid prototyping accelerates early progress, the transition to production often reveals integration fragility. Join RTI's Brian Senese for our upcoming webinar to explore how a data centric approach with Connext helps teams move efficiently from prototype to deployment. Drawing on lessons from real world programs and our work with companies like General Atomics, we will discuss how to build for real time performance and long term maintainability from the start. Build a foundation that allows your UAS systems to grow and evolve with the mission. 🔗 Learn more and register here: rti.com/company/events… #UAS #DefenseInnovation #UAV #RTIConnext #DDS #SystemsEngineering

Wake up. The SDV alarm is ringing 🚨 Our latest blog explores why Western OEMs are failing the SDV test, the breakdown of the supply-chain model, and what we can do about it. 👉 Read why building the software supply chain is the only way to catch up to the SDV leaders: rti.com/blog/the-indus…

From paperwork to proof. Defense acquisition is moving faster– and demanding more in the field, not just on paper. Our latest blog explores what this shift means, the “three valleys of death,” and why software is now the backbone of systems that can actually keep up. 👉 Read how moving from requirements to relevance is redefining what it takes to deliver mission-ready capability: rti.com/blog/shifting-…

AI coding agents are fast– but not always right. When tools like Copilot or Cursor hit specialized tech like RTI Connext, they guess. That means wasted time, tokens, and rework. ➡️Enter Connext MCP. It gives AI agents real-time access to authoritative Connext knowledge so they can get it right the first time. The impact?: ✅17% faster completion ✅ 66K fewer tokens wasted ✅ From trial-and-error → instant answers Less guessing. More building. Available now.
