COTS in our Air Control System

Abstract

A huge international project was launched in 1997 in Hungary: setting up an air control and sovereignty nationwide system based on former Soviet radars and American air sovereignty operations center (ASOC). The deadline was extremely short and the available funds low. The main strategy of the project was to use modular elements and commercial components as much as possible. That is why we decided using PC-s (dual Pentium II class) Windows NT 4.0 operating system and Visual C++ developer system. Some part of hardware were developed using digital signal processors (TEXAS type). Our specialists and American collages worked hard and the American made ASOC center and the Hungarian information system were used for military service in the fourth quarter of 1998. The system transmitted the radar (military and civil primer and secondary) information automatically to ASOC in real time.
