MUOS Quick Planner

COCOMs and G/RSSCs need the ability to rapidly and conveniently perform MUOS communications usage planning and to determine if a particular allocation is sufficient so as to, if necessary, negotiate an adjusted apportionment to service their priorities and throughput requirements. To satisfy this need, ORB Analytics, LLC, proposes a MUOS Quick Planner that executes an approach that exploits COTS 3G expertise and methods, but is tailored to the unique MUOS system constraints and requirements. This application is developed upon a modular framework that features an easy-to-use GUI and provides cross-platform support. The Quick Planner can be deployed as a standalone application not requiring network connectivity to operate. Alternatively, in situations where network connectivity is present, the Quick Planner can be deployed as a secure distributed application, with the graphical user interface forming a thin client and the Analysis Engine deployed as a centralized server.
