ASTi DACS System Features
The ASTi DACS, the workhorse of so many network voice installations, and simulation installations worldwide has retired, and is now a support-only item. All DACS functionality is now incorporated into the Telestra 4 product suite.
Model Builder Screens

DIS/HLA Environment

  • Easy upgrade path from DIS to HLA, supports both standards
  • Network Radio and Intercom

  • End-to-End delay less than 70 milliseconds
  • Multiple exercise and federation capability
  • Multicast IP routing by DIS exercise
  • Full set of DIS network debug pages
  • CVSD, Mu Law, PCM, Mil Std 188 compression
  • SRM and CCTT interoperability

Radio Propagation

  • LOS curvature of the Earth modeling (WGS84)
  • Free space signal strength simulation
  • Terrain occlusion interface
  • Fresnel diffraction effects
  • Background noise level based upon realistic signal-to-noise, ranging and frequency effects, antennae noise figure, receiver bandwidth, carrier modulation frequency

Radio Simulation

  • COMSEC and TRANSEC with encryption key matching, hopset effects, etc.
  • SINCGARS with CVSD compression
  • Co-site interference, jamming, squelch, AGC, BFO, tuning tones
  • AM/FM bands

  • Low-cost, low-fidelity Instructor monitor radios

Aural Cues

Synthesized Signal
  • Simultaneous generation of over 100 synthesized waveforms to create complex sources
  • Full range of filters and logical condition sets
  • High-level parameterized objects such as jets, turbine engines, propellers, rotors, etc.
Playback of Recorded Files
Comprehensive controls for loop file structuring including:
  • Interruptible motor run-up, run, run-down sequences
  • Turret rotations, gunfire, sonar effects, weather, air noise, tire and track noises
  • Single shot file structures can be used for missile launch, thunder, touchdown thump, crash, etc.

NAV AIDS

  • VOR, ILS, DME, TACAN
  • Co-located VOR/DME & VOR/TAC
  • Markers, NDB
  • Digital voice recordings

Electronic Warfare
