3.2 - Engineering, System Engineering, and Process Engineering Support


Much of the R&D activity discussed above translates to system engineering of new weapon systems and the upgrade of existing systems. Our contracts with NAVAIR (Naval Air Station Patuxent River) focus on the development and testing of naval aviation systems including weapons and avionics systems integration. Engineering expertise includes aircraft survivability, combat identification, air-launched weapons, aircraft avionics/electronics/sensors, mission computers, mission planning systems, and fighter aircraft operation flight program development. Our role has recently expanded to next-generation avionics system development and information warfare concepts related to military aircraft, C4ISR, and network-centric warfare. Engineering taskings include design reviews, build-readiness reviews, preparation of prime item development specifications, coordination of functional requirements documents, preparation of test plans and procedures, test report reviews, test failure tracking, system security accreditation, and support equipment requirements reviews. For the Navy-s Combat Craft Department, the Team designed both a hydrofoil vessel and a planning hull vessel; both required considerable mechanical engineering. Another engineering task was to create anti-tamper plans for NAVAIR-s F/A-18, MMA, E-2D, MH-60R, and Heavy Lift Replacement programs. Several programs that require system and process engineering support at DARPA include Networking in Extreme Environments, Next-Generation Program, Dynamic Optical Tags Program, Mobile Network MIMO Program, and Mach 5/50 Program.
