It looks like Tux the Penguin is enlisting in the US Navy as an aviator. The Navy has a deal with Raytheon to install Linux to control the Navy’s drone fleet officially known as autonomous flying vehicles in military parlance. The contract is worth close to $28M.
The U.S. military is not new to Linux, and has learned from past problems with less-reliable operating systems.
