CRCs serve to elaborate the military air situation, control the airspace and direct air forces. They cooperate closely with the corresponding civil authorities, e.g. Eurocontrol, and safeguard the German airspace as well as military aircraft manoeuvres.
DCS with its programme area C3I Systems defined, together with the Co-contractor Thales Raytheon Systems (Fullerton), the yardstick for a new generation of CRCs by combining all civil and military air-situation information within one system, the German Improved Air Defence System (GIADS).
This CRC has been in service since the year 2000 and is currently being replicated at two further sites.
