Article Abstract:
Air Command Systems International (ACSI), a 50-50 joint venture between Thomson-CSF Airsys and Raytheon Systems Company, has declared that it will use a software package developed by Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Dasa) for its DIPLAS air operations mission planning product for the Air Command & Control System (ACCS) of NATO. ACSI, which is the only bidder left for ACCS, also noted that its proposal for the project will not use the Initial CAOC capability (ICC) developed by NATO.
