Abstract

The design and development of the TMT Software System is a complex, multi-year project that includes management, reviews, design work, and construction of software with a multi-organization team that spans three continents. The initial conceptual design was completed in 2014 and following multiple reviews, the construction phase began in 2017 with our India-based development partners. With completion of the TMT Common Software in 2019, construction development moved to the first phase of the Executive Software system, which was completed in late 2021. This paper describes the current state of the TMT Software System summarizing what has been accomplished to date and the next steps in design and development. Within the last year, TMT has become part of the larger USELT project, and this paper describes how this has influenced the software design and future development plans.
