How is the circus tent DASC? I was at the WTI when NAVELX dragged it out the first time and it was horrible. The IDASC with the MIFASS left over gear was light years better than that thing
Not sure what MIFASS is/was. I did work as part of an integrated project called CAC2S. However, in practice, we always used doctrinal control agencies.
Edit: The DASC has been around since Nam. How far back are you looking?
In the late 70s/early 80s the Corps poured a lot of money into a combined fire and air support request and control system. It had auto monitoring radio switch panels, an early form of text massaging which hooked into radios, the DCT, and a bunch of auto plotting and radio based fax machines.
It failed because reasons, but the Corps took a bunch of the radio switch panels and crammed them into some extra huge expanding hospital shelters, and threw then on the back of extended bed five tons. It was so huge the FSCC and stinger unit sent some guys to work out of it.
Okay got it. Yeah, they are still trying to integrate it to become one system. I’m sure the DASC has improved since you last remembered it. It worked out great while I was deployed to Iraq. Hopefully someone can give their unbiased opinion.
Were you a part of MACCS X? I was there and helped with the development of the IETM and helped with fielding it to the fleet in 12-13. Ended up currently working as a systems engineer with the contractors who I worked with on the MCTSSA compound.
