L-3 Telemetry-West's (TW) InControl represents the most advanced COTS-based command and control solution on the market today. InControl includes a broad set of functionality that has been developed and fielded by L-3 TW over the course of many years of operational use, including support for over 50 satellite missions. In addition to the functions typically expected from a control center software, L-3 TW’s InControl (e.g. command generation, telemetry processing, and automation tools such as procedures and schedulers), also provides strong external interfaces to support the integration of third-party products and unique system requirements.

This state-of-the-art software product offers a complete solution that:

• Improves the efficiency of operating multiple satellites – using a system that was specifically designed to support a “mixed fleet” of spacecraft from a variety of spacecraft manufacturers
• Incorporates technical expertise developed on previous contracts to support spacecraft from many major satellite manufacturers
• Offers extensive end-user customization and a simplified path to add spacecraft and additional system capability as the fleet grows and operational requirements evolve
• Provides a flexible system architecture capable of supporting future system expansion and growth
