Collins Aerospace delivers operator-focused Command and Control (C2) software, enabling superior correlation and fusion of air, land and maritime sensors across the modern battlespace.

Battlespace Command and Control Center (BC3)

The Solipsys Battlespace Command and Control Center, or BC3, is advanced, multifunctional battlespace management software designed to meet unique mission program requirements and customer preferences. The Solipsys BC3 features a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9 rating, is Link-16-certified, and serves as a high-performance, C2 Commercial Off-the-Shelf solution.

Supporting a fully integrated and configurable defense architecture and a wide range of capabilities to improve and enhance battle management, BC3 excels at the execution of operational and tactical mission sets.

Its core software – consisting of the Multi-Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT) and the MSCT Display – is a program-of-record platform for the United States Air Force’s Control and Reporting Center, as well as the United States Marine Corps' and the United States Navy’s Common Aviation Command and Control System. Solipsys BC3 also serves as the core execution software for a number of international customers, including UAE, Australia, Qatar, Taiwan, Ukraine and many more. Each of these systems has tailored user interfaces that meet each customer’s specific needs.

When deployed, BC3 affords customers the following benefits:

  • A single, integrated Battle Management System
  • Reduced manning requirements
  • Ability to easily plug in new sensors and effectors
  • Integrated fire direction
  • The ability to create a Common Tactical Picture (CTP)
  • Automated processes and dissemination of data
  • Reduced latency in kill chain
  • Coalition interoperability

Multi-Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT)

As part of the Solipsys BC3 software configuration, the MSCT serves as a hub for managed processes that work in concert to create a fused, composite view of the battlespace – views that can then be used to communicate actions.

MSCT’s data correlation and fusion engines normalize and integrate measurement-level and track-level data from hundreds of different sensors and data links and then provides a single integrated picture (SIP) to numerous output interfaces, making it a highly capable system integrator. Real-time data received from tactical sources is routed to the correlator tracker to be fused and formed into the SIP. This data is further separated as detection/observation plots, transponder returns, tracks or EW artifacts.

Non-real-time data bypasses the correlator tracker; however, it may ultimately be associated with the SIP. Data is converted to normalized formats for processing by the correlator tracker, which can process unassociated measurements, associated measurements, tracks and bearings.

MSCT Display – built on Tactical Display Framework (TDF)

Also part of the BC3 software package, the MSCT Display is a performance-oriented, component-based visualization system that aligns with our Tactical Display Framework (TDF). MSCT Display provides unprecedented flexibility for developers and end-users for demanding applications, such as:

  • Command and Control
  • Air traffic management
  • Missile defense
  • Wide-area surveillance
  • Emergency response
  • Disaster management
  • Air base air defense
  • Integrated fire direction
  • Distributed mission operations
