The U.S. Navy has signed a contract with Northrop Grumman to design -- using Jini Network Technology -- the Navy's advanced 21st century surface combatant, DD(X). This is a $2.9B contract over four years.
"We believe that the Jini and Java technologies will dramatically change the way DD 21 and future Navy systems are developed. The spontaneous community capabilities of Jini will lead to much more reliable, capable and maintainable systems. The development and integration cycle will be reduced significantly, and the use of commercial components will finally be cost-effective."
