General Cross-platform Software Framework Design and Application for Vessel Weapon Launch System

Almost all of the master control software of a vessel weapon launch system is currently based on a specific software and hardware platform as the operating environment. Furthermore, this platform has poor portability, which is not conducive to secondary developments, maintenance, and upgrade of the system. In this paper, natural cross-platform features of C++, such as Qt, POSIX, and middleware, are used to create a cross-platform software framework that is suitable for the development of the master control software for the weapon launch system of a vessel. The framework eliminates product interface differences through middleware technology and uses virtualization technology to realize the digital simulation of master control software peripherals. The application of this framework in practical situations has proved that it can significantly improve the platform portability of the master control software, reducing the cost of this task and shortening the time required to complete the development of the launch system.
