All of the radar networks will represent the same radar platform, but each with independent Level 1 controls. ? High end server running virtual PCs (3 or 10), each operating with a Windows 10 operating system. The virtual environment is controlled using a VM Ware front end. The virtual PCs will each represent a BCG PCS-100VMS Radar Simulator with independent software and licensing, allowing the connected C-ARPA station to exercise Level 1 controls. ? Front-end control of the radar simulator is done through the USCG's OASIS system. OASIS will communicate with BCG's MaST software using the BCGUDP network interface. The MaST interface allows OASIS to create and run a testing scenario with the Ownship (radar platform) and targets, under its control. MaST then communicates commands to each of the COMRIC radar simulators through network data packets. Each of the virtual PCs will have a dedicated NIC output to provide COMRIC interface with the C-ARPA node. MaST is also responsible for delivering NMEA and AIS data messages where used. ? ? PCS-100VMS Radar Simulator with simulation capabilities ; Enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI2) operator interface; NMEA-0183 Output; AIS/BFT Output; 16 Serial Port Expansion. This hardware is necessary for the development and sustainment of the Sea Commander system. ? General specifications for the Server are: -Xeon E5-2600 v2 2.10 GHz 15MB L3 Cache Processor -64GB memory -1TB Hard Drive -Windows 10 OS (as required) -Gigabit NIC (as required) -VM Ware ? Features of this COMRIC simulator are: -Single rackmount server computer -OASIS front end control -MaST simulator interface software -Radar databases are compatible across all BCG simulators at C3CEN -Windows 10 OS for each virtual PC -BCG's PCS-100VMS radar simulator software environment for each radar output - (3) Single radar antenna feeding independent COMRIC interfaces -Separate network interface for each radar output -Monitor, keyboard and mouse
