SCCE Rehosting Feasibility Assessment,

Abstract

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has directed that a Survivable DSCS Control System (SDCS), including an SCCE, be developed. The SDCS is required to provide a survivable, autonomous minimal DSCS III network control capability. The SDCS will be a transportable configuration that meets stringent environmental requirements. The SCCE's MODCOMP Classic II/75 computer will not meet the environmental requirements of the SDCS. Consequently, it will be necessary to rehost the SCCE to a militarized computer. Within the DSCSOC, several DOCS subsystems use DEC VAX computers. These subsystems will be incorporated into the SDCS, and will require rehosting to a militarized computer. Applications on the DEC VAX computers will run on the Norden Systems Inc. line of MIL VAX computers with minimal software conversion. Thus, these subsystems will likely be rehosted to MIL VAX computers. Consequently, in order to improve the commonality of computer equipment and simplify the logistic support of the SDCS, the Norden Systems Incorporated line of militarized VAX computers is a prime candidate for the rehosting of the SCCE in the SDCS.
