PLEXSYS’ ASCOT a Critical Core Application Component in MacB’s RC3IS
May 8, 2019 | By: Tara Marta
CAMAS, WA (May 8, 2019) – PLEXSYS is proud to be part of the MacAulay-Brown (MacB) newly developed Resilient Command, Control, and Communications Integrated Solution (RC3IS™). RC3IS is a flexible, inter-operable C2 solution intended for use in integrating the command and coordination of multi-domain components of a military. The solution is a self-contained product that leverages both open and industry standards for application integration in a compact format. RC3IS™ can be deployed onto any physical hardware platform to meet mobility or resiliency requirements.
The RC3IS™ is an ideal solution for coalition partners in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, where implementing systems and capabilities developed in the U.S. allows foreign countries to perform air operations organically and fight side-by-side with U.S. forces.
“PLEXSYS is excited to be an integrated part of the RC3IS™ command and control solution. We have integrated individually with each of these technologies in past efforts, and the idea of a one-stop-shopping solution, integrated into one compact suite is sensational,” stated Greg Kraut, PLEXSYS Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. “Including the PLEXSYS simulation training solution as an organic capability within RC3IS™, guarantees an immersive, LVC training capability, tailored to the specific requirements associated with operational C2 warfighting.”
Senior engineers at MacB developed an advanced architectural framework, combined with the best commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and integrated them into a single suite creating a fully interoperable solution in line with the current U.S. Air Operations Center (AOC) applications. PLEXSYS’ ASCOT is a core application component, providing radar modeling, scenario creation, exercise generation, data-link messaging capability, data link translation, and dynamic simulation entity play. Additionally, PLEXSYS’ sonomarc communications suite provides radio simulation for RC3IS™ allowing for communications with external simulations on a distributed training network.
