Department:
Operations Management System (OMS) Development

Project Type:
Command and Control System for Missile Operations

About the Project

The
Operations Management System (OMS)
— previously known as the

— is a distributed, real-time command and control system designed for a next-generation missile platform.

The OMS integrates multiple subsystems and sensors, including:

  • Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)
  • Missile Launch Platforms

Core functions include:

  • Air picture management and sensor fusion
  • Engagement proposal generation and execution control

    standards

The system architecture follows a
microservice-based distributed model

  • Backend services are developed in
    C++ on Linux
  • The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is developed in
    C# with DirectX
  • Middleware communication leverages
    ZeroMQ
    and
    MQTT
    protocols
  • Hardware console integration and embedded components require
    bare-metal and single-threaded implementations

This project involves close collaboration with system engineers, embedded developers, and safety certification specialists.
