MISSION SYSTEMS
We provide specialty mission systems engineering throughout all phases of the program focusing on overhead ISR mission areas – mission architecture, orbit and constellation design, ground and onboard algorithm development, mission scheduling algorithms and analysis, requirements & design analysis, CONOPS development, trade studies and verification/validation efforts. It is imperative for a program to have strong systems engineering and requirements flow down with a proper test plan to insure the design meets customer expectations and properly completes verification and validation.
MODSIM
From space to ground – high fidelity models are key throughout the life cycle of the program for design development, requirement verification, algorithm prototyping/tuning, mission analysis and CONOPS development. Understanding and properly developing the right model with the proper fidelity required within cost and schedule constraints is key to program success. We have built models of ground schedulers, bus subsystems, payload models (EO-IR/OP-IR/RADAR) and entire system level models simulating the mission – focusing on key technical areas pertinent to the program.
TEST
From flatsats, testbeds, simulators, EDUs to flight hardware – we have decades of experience designing testbed infrastructure and deploying application code to execute a successful test program. We have supported flight and ground software development, operations and maintenance procedure testing, system test, and execution of factory flight hardware assembly integration and test and launch.
