«Ricochet inside»
The underlying architecture of the Ricochet software makes it ideal for distributing
modules, collecting necessary data and tying it together as a system.

The Ricochet Replay API, which is the name of the control message protocol used
between the software application and the recording system, is public and open for
anyone to use. Some VCS and VTS vendors have utilised this and written replay
functions into VCS panels and VTS traffic displays.

Jotron Ricochet’s next product will include new and enhanced features allowing
for easier installation, configuration and integration between Ricochet modules and
sub-systems, and other systems required to manage a comprehensive investigation.
