Open Architecture Command Control System

• Type
Combat Management System

• Development
For more than 30 years NCSIST has been providing innovative solutions for Combat Management

System for Taiwan navies. From basic combat management capability through automated

self-defense up to a fully integrated system, the NCSIST Combat Management System highly meets

the mission demands. It provides the flexibility to support a multi-mission ship designed for a wide

range of naval operations, as well as ship designs with reconfigurable focused mission packages. Its

proven software meets requirements for a low-risk, affordable solution that can be easily upgraded to

meet evolving threats and environments throughout the ship’s life cycle.

The OACC is an Open Architecture Computer-Based Command-and-Control element, the core of the

NCSIST Combat Management System, which is a scalable and services-based framework.

The OACC provides custom standard interface components, the key to the flexibility of the

architecture to support a wide range of sensors, communication, and weapon interfaces. It allows the

Customer defined sensors, communication and weapons being easily integrated and isolated from

core components of the command and control system to engage and defeat numerous multi-warfare

threats simultaneously.

• Description
The OACC was designed to deliver capability rapidly and affordably. Built on an open architecture

and scalable framework, it incorporates tested, highly reliable, non-developmental software, making

OACC an extremely capable and low-risk solution.

• Supporting multi-purpose operations

   1. Air-defense
   2. Surface
   3. Underwater
   4. Electronic warfare
   5. Fleet operations
   6. Joint operations
