The DXC (Ent Serv UK Limited), AMPA Programme is responsible for the continued delivery and future growth of the Advanced Mission Planning Aid (AMPA) and associated products. Used widely within the RAF and various foreign Air Forces, AMPA is built around a common software core, with tailoring and additional capability being implemented for specific aircraft types.
AMPA is a fully networked system utilising customer IT infrastructure allowing instant information exchange between locations. Utilising a Linux operating system, it is hosted on COTS HP hardware. The current development environment is built around the Rational ClearCase configuration management tool.
The AMPA programme consists of several individual projects utilising a common development and delivery function and tool set to meet each specific set of customer requirements. In the case of the export customers, this includes negotiating and demonstrating compliance with aircraft industry standards.
