MCSC employs virtual training during COVID-19

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Marine Corps Systems Command’s mission to support the warfighter hasn’t stopped. Prior to the crisis, MCSC’s program offices hosted both in-person and classroom training sessions for Marines to learn to use new gear. With travel restrictions in place, MCSC had to find new, innovative ways to conduct New Equipment Training. Earlier this spring, MCSC began conducting Virtual NET—online training that replicates a live, classroom training environment. Viewing a live video stream, Marines can watch as an instructor teaches them to employ a piece of equipment...

Island Marauder demo puts new technology to the test with 3rd Marines

For the last three years, engineers and project officers from Marine Corps Systems Command have descended on the island of Oahu to put new technology to the test. In the fall, MCSC—along with Marines from the 3rd Marine Regiment and partner organizations from the requirements community—conducted the “Island Marauder” technology demonstration to integrate and evaluate emerging technologies with existing Marine Corps gear to help inform future capability decisions for the Corps.

The Marine Corps Tactical Service Orientated Architecture will allow users to request and share mission-critical information on-demand. TSOA is a software platform that will be installed in combat operation centers, allowing for the sharing of data between COCs across the Corps. This removes the need to depend on multiple independent tactical data systems, which are not always compatible. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl.

Game changing C2 software to aid Marines on tactical edge

Marine Corps System Command is nearing completion of the initial phase of fielding for the Tactical Service Orientated Architecture which allows users to share or request mission-critical information on-demand. TSOA is a collection of software that will provide a common, open architecture for command and control applications across the MAGTF. Instead of depending on multiple independent tactical data systems that are not always compatible with each other, Marines will subscribe to collective data, provided as a service via TSOA. The system will also save the Marine Corps money by replacing aging and obsolete software.
