| | Air Surveillance and Control
Overview
The
ASAC system is used for:
 | Air-to-Air Combat Ground Control Intercepts |
 | Weapons Evaluation Operational Safety |
 | Airspace Monitoring |
 | Drug Interdiction |
 | Incident Investigation |
 | Missile Launch Safety |
 | Air Weapons/Air Traffic Control Training |
It
provides an integrated air picture based on data from all available
sensors. The ASAC has proven to be powerful,
reliable, robust and flexible. It has a rich set of functions and a
distributed, open architecture. It is built
on widely used commercial hardware, open standards, commercial
third-party software, and our distributed, proven system. The base system
is a comprehensive set of reusable components, documentation and support
tools that can be combined and extended to generate new systems, add new
functions to existing ones, or provide a scaled down version for uses such
as mobile air picture displays.
The ASAC is easily configured to meet
the needs of the users. It is a highly reliable system with a low cost of
ownership and is available on wide range of hardware and displays based on
the customers needs.

 | The
system exploits current-generation tools and hardware to provide
accuracy, functionality, and maintainability as well as high
performance. |
 | Provides
recording and playback of both raw sensor data and the complete
air picture at speeds from freeze-frame to many times real-time. |
 | Recalculates
stern and cut off intercept solutions each second to ensure
correct, up-to-date commands. |
 | Uses
full WGS-84 geodetic coordinates for all operations. |
 | Extremely
accurate coordinate system operations exploit full accuracy of
sensors. |
