NIST 800-171A articulated the 110 Controls and the underlying determination statements that need to be met to be complaint with the DFARS 252.204-7012 clause. The program was based on a self-assessment process that contractors would conduct using the NIST 800-171A Assessment Guide. This clause, when included in a DoD contract, required the contractor (and their subcontractors) to develop a System Security Plan (SSP) based on the NIST 800-171 set of controls regarding the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). We'll start in October 2016 when the DoD issued the DFARS 252.204-7012 or the "Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting" clause. Bear with me as there is an alphanumeric bowl of soup coming. That is until now.įirst a little history on CMMC.
The goalposts have moved a few times and the messaging has been unclear from the Department of Defense. There has been a lot of hand wringing and gnashing of teeth regarding the relatively new model.
OTX BOYS MEANING PC
The end user PC interface was dare I say 10000000000% better than their MPX launcher program now.For the past three years Department of Defense contractors and the MSPs that serve them have been facing the inevitable need to meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. Truly a great base to do just about any mix or triggered mix.
OTX BOYS MEANING SOFTWARE
Their top TX is now a collaborative product.Īs for the Profi 4000 I'm lucky enough to have an old computer with the dos profi 4000 service software program. Do love some of their wingstabi stuff and other things.
Open TX is great.Īgree MPX has not been as TX innovative as they were. Admittedly I bought Rob that radio because I wanted to get him a radio he could grow with.
He looked for his plane did not find it for a week no after crash exam just the two thing no SD card no input control I was by him he had nothing. No SD card warning from TX then no link with input control. More information is needed before anyone could conclude that OTx was the culprit. The report of the crash, as has been written, makes little sense. I'm not looking to challenge the implication, just like to see what useful stuff might be worth asking to be added. I also would be interested in examples of areas of functionality available in the Profi4000 and missing in OpenTx. However that was 12 years ago or so and nothing much is the same now. I don't think there's ever been a challenge to those who have suggested that OpenTx precursors had their logical design roots in the Multiplex system being discussed here. If this could be separated fully, maybe manufacturers could put proprietary stuff in it and keep it to themselves, similar to the way FRSKY deals with the RF protocol at present. This is maintained by the developers using information supplied by the manufacturers. Pafleraf tells me that OpenTx already contains a HAL. One future might be for the manufacturers to be responsible for a refined HAL - functionally similar to the way that Ardupilot separates it's operating programs from the various types of hardware that it supports. I think this could be where OpenTX and its branches will eventually have to go, and if you look at these images I think you'll see what I'm talking about.
OTX BOYS MEANING DRIVERS
Perhaps the burden of providing drivers could even be passed over to the respective hardware manufacturers.
OTX BOYS MEANING INSTALL
In light of this seemingly never-ending task, I wonder if it might eventually become necessary to switch to an "operating system + drivers" system, similar to what home computers have, where you install the standardized operating system and then install drivers for the specific hardware than you have.
It must be very different today than it was in the days of OpenTX version 2.1, which was meant primarily to support the Taranis X9D+. I've been thinking, with all of these different radios, receivers, screen sizes, switch arrangements, and modules coming out, it seems to me that you guys, as well as the OpenTX developers, must be getting bogged down trying to incorporate support for everything into one operating system.
