Defense and simulation systems
Operation and Maintenance of large mission critical systems is an area where we have provided services to the US Air Force and the Government of Iceland since 1997. Kögun provides life-cycle support for the Iceland Air Defense System (IADS) which provides long range air surveillance and air defense capabilities to NATO forces in the North Atlantic area.
The IADS system provides unsurpassed connectivity, with four FPS-117 3D radars and more than 20 different data link connections to both Europe and the US thereby providing a tactcal surveillance bridge across the Atlantic. Complete hardware and software support is provided by Kögun around the clock every day of the year.
IADS is one of the first systems of it's type to by developed using almost exlusively Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) components. This has required a different apporach to operation and maintenance activities where outdated components must be replaced as they readh an end-of-life status with the applicable manufacturer and the system constantly re-engineered to maintain an ever-green operational condition. As a result, the system expected lifetime has been continuously extended and is targeted significantly beyond the original expectiations while maintaining a state-of-the-art technical platform. To the customer this has obvious advantages where lifecycle costs are minimized and operational reliability greatly increased.

In today's world, interoperability is the key element when it comes to conducting real world theater operations. No information system supporting a real world mission can exist without tactical data link connetions of some sort, sharing the tactical picture with other command elements. At Kögun we provide engineering services and implementation of most modern tactical data link protocols including Link 16, Link 11 and others. We provide systems for data link integration into new and legacy platforms as well as standalone data link monitoring and simulation systems.
Our products such as the Data Link Monitor (DLM) and Graphical Simulation Scenario Generator (GSSG) provide unsurpassed capabilities for flexible monitoring and simulation of tactical data links using simple and intuitive interfaces requiring minimal crew training.
GSSG
Graphical Simulation Scenario Generator (GSSG) The Graphical Simulation Scenario Generator allows easy and accurate design of mission exercise scenarios for Air Defense and Air Traffic Control applications. The system is designed to support the concepts and requirements of today’s Air Sovereignty mission, focusing on simulation of force elements through both radar and tactical data link exchange.

GSSG/RT
The Real Time version of GSSG provides all the features of the standard GSSG product. In addition to the scripting capabilities of the standard GSSG, the RT version adds some very powerful real time elements, providing unparalleled realism in flight simulation and integration with a wide variety of systems.

Data Link Monitor (DLM)
The DLM allows monitoring of essentially any digital data stream or messaging interface. The DLM offers a cost effective alternative against in-house development of project specific test and validation tools. The DLM uses a fexible definition language allowing the user to specify the protocol parameters for each protocol used. The tool offers out-of-the-box support for most major data link protocols in use today, including Link 16, Link 11, Link 11B, Link 1, ATDL-1 and many others.

Data Link Simulator (GSSG/DLS)
Based on the same, user friendly, interface as the GSSG product, the GSSG Data Link Simulator is targeted towards developers and test engineers implementing or maintaining data link systems. Complete test scenarios can be developed providing radar and tactical data link information to external systems. More at Defense Products > Monitoring and Test Products > Data Link Simulator
