Command and weapon deployment system of the Air Force
Command and weapon deployment systems of the Air Force ( FüWES Lw also battle command systems - GefFüSys) are self-contained IT architectures in the integrated air defense system of NATO (NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System - NATINAMDS) for the enforcement of air sovereignty , for air situation display , command / combat management and for Use of weapons.
NATO designations: Air Command and Control System (ACCS), ACC system or AC2 system
According to purpose and basic IT architecture today FüWES are the then automated command and control systems of the air forces of the NVA comparable
use
FüWES Lw are embedded within the armed forces in the organizational structure of the air force . Use was made primarily in stationary Control and Reporting Center (CRC) and Deployable CRC of the application and Control Service of the Air Force (EinsFüDstLw). For small projects (eg. As DASDIPS, assistance for the police etc.) with emphasis air situation display can subcomponents of the local, regional and possibly national to improve situational awareness (Engl. Situation Awareness contribute). The main focus is on the following uses:
- Interface function / data exchange via Link 1 and / or other tactical data links
- Security gateway to separate different IT architectures high-to-low / red-to-black (e.g. ASGW - Advanced Security Gateway)
- ASTERIX conversion of proprietary radar data formats
- Mode S participation
- Functionality RACO (Radar Data Converter)
Functionality
The FüWES-Lw main functions are:
- Data reception
- Creation, representation and distribution of the air situation
- Air surveillance
- Control of aircraft
- Guidance and support for use of weapons
- Data exchange
- Interactive simulation and training
System architecture
FüWES Lw consist of the following functional components:
- Workplaces of the operational personnel (defined workplace modes)
- guide
- Use of weapons
- Creation of the air situation
- Gateway to AWACS (NAEW)
- System applications
- Data exchange via tactical data links
- System administration central tasks system PC
- Sensor gateway, transition from radar data networks and ASTERIX data conversion
- Data recording and replay
- Interactive simulation (taps and plots)

IT security
For FüWES Lw, the IT security-relevant specifications, in particular with regard to confidentiality , integrity , availability and liability, are made in a "project- related IT security concept ". These specifications are then internally implemented in the form of the "Security Operating Procedure (SECOPS)" in relation to the location, situation and use.
User management
The Air Force Support Units command is responsible for FüWES-Lw usage management. There also occur obsolescence management , configuration control and commissioning of software maintenance and software modification (SWMM).
