Meeting the Evolving Needs of Modern Maritime Missions
VTG’s Platform Integrated Control System (PICS) is a next-generation command and control solution engineered to meet the evolving needs of naval and undersea warfare missions.
Built on an advanced open architecture framework, PICS combines intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMI) with modular, hardware-independent components that seamlessly integrate across diverse maritime platforms including surface ships and undersea vehicles.
PICS delivers a powerful combination of mission adaptability, technical resilience, and operational efficiency. Its modular architecture is both highly cohesive and loosely coupled, enabling independent functions to be added, removed, or reconfigured without impacting system stability or requiring wholesale redesign.
Mission Benefits at Sea
- Navigational displays and mission planning functionality
- Primary and failover support across dual-station displays
- Manual and autonomous vehicle control guidance
- Custom, user-friendly HMI for intuitive sensor data access
- Integration with user-defined sensors and external displays
- Real-time adaptability to mission-specific configurations
Through a Modular Information Backbone (MIB), PICS allows data sharing applications to operate independently while maintaining real-time interoperability. Should one application fail, others continue without disruption, preserving operational resilience during high-stakes missions.
The Power of PICS
- Reconfigurable based on specific mission profiles
- Built-in fault tolerance and system resilience
- Seamless integration of advanced algorithms and sensors
- Lifecycle-ready with full software engineering support
PICS represents a modern control paradigm designed for the complexities of today’s maritime environments and adaptable for the challenges of tomorrow’s undersea missions. With VTG’s expertise in software engineering and system integration, PICS is a mission-ready force multiplier across the naval domain.
