The CRC System Interface (CSI)
The CRC System Interface (CSI) is a real-time data-link buffer system supporting Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) and interceptor control. The CSI supports real-time data exchange between various Air C2 elements including navy vessels, NATO Airborne early Warning (NAEW) aircraft, headquarters and even fighter aircraft using standardized national and NATO data links including ATDL-1, Link 1, Link 11B and Link 16.
The CSI functionality includes :
The CSI can be used as a stand-alone buffer, in combination with any CRC host system, or as an extension to the MASE system. When being used with MASE, it seamlessly integrates into the MASE Integrated Console thus allowing a CRC operator to work on a COP consisting of air, surface and ground entities reported on the various NATO data links.
The NAMSA CSI Cell located at the NPC, in cooperation with NPC and other NAMSA specialists, provides full system support for the CSI.
