ROS-M provides management tools, such as a searchable master registry for finding existing software packages, as well as custom software, like a ROS to interoperability Profiles (IOP) gateway, cybersecurity tools, and processes specific to defense robotics applications.
ROS-M facilitates greater collaboration by relying on a common, de facto standard in ROS that partnering organizations can use as a basis for cooperative software development efforts.
ROS-M increases innovation by enabling organizations to focus their resources on developing new, innovative capabilities that build on top of the baseline software functions in the core, common libraries.
ROS-M improves software reliability and security by finding and fixing defects and making improvements to the same, reusable code.
