Abstract

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is the next generation ground-based observatory for gamma-ray astronomy at very-high energies. The CTAO will combine telescopes of different designs plus a large number of scientific instruments to achieve unprecedented performance and energy coverage. The Array Control and Data Acquisition (ACADA) system provides the means to execute observations and to handle the acquisition of scientific data in CTAO. The Resource Manager (RM) and Central Control (CC) subsystems are core components of the ACADA system. The RM subsystem provides infrastructure services concerning the administration of various resources to all ACADA subsystems. The CC subsystem implements the execution of observation requests received from the scheduler subsystem. CC interprets the received requests and sends appropriate commands to telescopes and other controllable array elements, supervises ongoing operations and coordinates the dynamic allocation and management of concurrent operations of telescopes to subarrays, which are logical groupings of individual CTAO telescopes performing coordinated scientific operations. This contribution provides a summary of the main design features, current status and future implementation plans for the ACADA RM and CC subsystems.
