PrismTech has joined the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC), a not-for-profit international organisation dedicated to accelerating the introduction of a common, industry-wide technical infrastructure for network-centric operations. The consortium is working to enable open standards and interoperability in systems that serve joint, interagency, and multi-national users. 'Joining the NCOIC is an obvious move for us as we develop enabling technologies - software tools and middleware - for the builders of mission-critical systems', said Steve Jennis, Vice President of Corporate Development for PrismTech.
'As these systems become increasingly net-centric we expect to both contribute heavily to, and gain much valuable information from, NCOIC participation'.
'We are particularly focused on the Application Enabling Platform Working Group (AEP WG) under the auspices of the NCOIC Building Blocks committee'.
Paul Delvy of Intel Corporation Chairs the AEP Working Group.
'We are thrilled to have PrismTech join NCOIC.
As a leading developer of COTS-based technology that enables net-centric operations, we look forward to benefiting from its extensive experience in development tools, middleware for mission-critical systems, and software-defined radio technologies in the Application Enabling Platform Working Group', he said.
The NCOIC-comprised of leaders in the aerospace, defence, information technology, large-scale integrator and services industries-is working to enable network-centric operations within and between all levels of allied government.
The global consortium works with companies from around the world to define a set of tools that will enable the development of network centric capabilities and enabling products.
Most recently, the NCOIC announced the availability of its first network centric operations interoperability assessment tools.
The NCOIC Interoperability Framework (NIF) and the Network Centric Analysis Tool (NCAT) provide the framework and the guidelines for capturing and describing the building codes or standards and components to select and how to put them together for an interoperable system.
As PrismTech provides tools, middleware, and support services that support other defense standards, such as the JTRS Software Communications Architecture (SCA) and the US Navy's Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE), it is well positioned to support the NCOIC's platform and building blocks initiatives with future COTS implementations.
'We are pleased to add PrismTech to our membership and look forward to the contributions their team can make in our efforts', said Dr Kevin J Reardon, Executive Director of the NCOIC.
'It's no secret that some of the most advanced systems today were not designed to be interoperable'.
'PrismTech's insights and experiences in enabling interoperable systems will be invaluable'.
PrismTech is a strong supporter of open standards with active membership in a number of high-profile industry associations, including the Object Management Group, the Software Defined Radio Forum, The Open Group and now the NCOIC.
