DCS has won a 20-month, $7.5M task order under a basic ordering agreement from the Naval Air Systems Command to develop the fifth version of a flight clearance system.
The Weaponeering and Stores Planning, or WASP, software tool is a flight clearance program used by NAVAIR to provide F/A-18 aircraft units with authorized release parameters, moment arms, weights, drag, limits and configurations, the company said Wednesday.
WASP also works to incorporate government models for fragmentation clouds and guided weapons trajectories and replicate the Naval Aviation Technical Information Product’s safety of flight checklist.
The command has been using the platform since 2003 to support operations worldwide.
