Abstract

A C/sup 4/I (command, control, computers, communication and intelligence) support system spans a large variety of requirements and usually serves many users with diverse needs. Also, in order to properly display information to the decision-makers in a timely way, it must integrate data from other systems, not necessarily built with the same technology. The Operations Theater Surveillance System (SATO), presented in this paper, was designed in 1998 for the Mercury project, which is developing the Brazilian Navy's new C/sup 2/S (Command and Control Support) system. This paper, as an experience report, focuses on the software constructs used in the system, with an architectural perspective. SATO displays and manages all the information presented to the users. In addition, as Mercury's main subsystem, it lays the foundation for integrating other subsystems and legacy systems. Data enters Mercury from all crisis control centers (CCCs) distributed throughout the country.
