MATCALS
Abstract
This program provides for continued development, integration, and testing of hardware and software to meet requirements for all-weather operation and improved flight safety of Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems at Marine Corps expeditionary airfields. Current program includes approved transition to Air Surveillance and Precision Approach Radar Control System (ASPARCS). The ASPARCS will replace the legacy Air Traffic Control (ATC) Precision Approach Radar (PAR), Air Surveillance Radar (ASR), and Communications and Control Subsystem with a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) based PAR, ASR, and Command and Control (C2) Subsystem. Efforts will commence for requirements definition, development and engineering for the ASPARCS Preplanned Product Improvements (P3I), in accordance with Marine Corps Requirements Oversight Council (MROC) Decision Memorandum 11-2005 dated December 2004. P3I includes the design and development of software code to interface Command and Control System (C2S) input/output to existing software, incorporating Radar Range Extension and Mapping functionality, enhanced simulation and training and providing increased operator workstations.
