Mobile Mapping of Air and Ground Intelligence Communications (MAGIC)
DRS’s Mobile Mapping of Air and Ground Intelligence
Communications (MAGIC) is a modifiable avionics mission
system designed for air crew situational awareness. It is a
scalable, open architecture avionics mission system that
provides near real-time geo-located intelligence and sensor
data on a moving map display to furnish aircrews increased
navigational and situational awareness. MAGIC’s open
architecture is optimized for integration of virtually any
desired subsystem, including:
- Intelligence Broadcast Receiver (IBR)
- Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL)
- MIDS/Link-16
- PRC-117G/F
- Full Motion Video (FMV) Links
- Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) data sets
MAGIC can be configured with any number of cockpit/cabin
displays to meet any mission or aircrew configuration.
MAGIC provides an integrated moving map capability
obtaining the 3-D present position data from the aircraft’s
avionics bus. The avionics bus is interfaced in a monitor
mode, not requiring costly and timely modification of the
aircraft’s operational flight program.
The open architecture of MAGIC also provides connections
for carry-on systems (BAO Kit, JPADS, PRC-117, Rover, etc.)
to the MAGIC bus. Once connected, the remote system user
(Airborne Mission Commander, Direct Support Operator, team
member, etc.) has access to all of the data, either selectively
or fused.
The MAGIC architecture has been optimized for
Government-developed/owned software application sets
(Cursor On Target (COT), PFPS, etc.) but can host any
Windows®-based application. Various state-of-the-art rugged
airborne servers are available for users who require data
storage (up to 8 terabytes solid state) and remote hosting of
processing intensive applications. The MAGIC system can
either be installed in a temporary (T1/T2) roll-on/roll-off
configuration or permanently installed on the host aircraft.
MAGIC variants have been integrated on MC-130W,
MC-130H, MC-130P, KC-130J, and CV-22B.
