The ASCOT Radar Simulator® was first fielded in the early 1990's. Today's version of ASCOT is the Advanced Simulation Combat Operations Trainer.

ASCOT is a flexible real time interactive exercise generator tool for simulation in the joint virtual battlespace. The system provides dynamic and robust wargaming capability for real-time C4I, surveillance and reconnaissance training.

AWACS Mission Training Center (MTC)Consoles

PLEXSYS developed and maintains the AWACS Mission Training Center (MTC) - a component of the United States Air Force's Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) network.

The 14 mission crew consoles in each MTC are high fidelity emulations of those aboard the E-3. The ASCOT, when packaged with additional AWACS MTC specific functionality, becomes the Instructor Operator Station (IOS) and provides the virtual battlepace. The 14 crew consoles can be configured to provide training to a small team of operators within the MTC working in their own independent scenarios, or networked to train together within a data-link intensive exercise.

ASCOT, configured for NATO operations, interfaces directly with the NATO Mid Term (NMT) Mission Simulator.

ASCOT gives the Component an additional tool to meet operational deadlines for mission crew training by providing trainers the abiltiy to quickly create training scenarios with increased realism and flexibility. The NATO E-3A Component Training Wing staff members were recently interviewed by Heidi Sorenson of NATO Skywatch Magazine regarding the "ASCOT enhanced training capabilities in the mission simulator".
