Capabilities

C4ISR Suite Design and Integration

Service website

Systems engineering and integration of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance suites for tactical vehicles. It evaluates system requirements from a system-of-systems perspective for platforms including MRAP, M-ATV, HMMWV, LVSR, MMPV, and MTVR.

  • Ergonomics & Human Factors Engineering

    Placement of components to prevent view obstruction, maintain safe distances during shock and vibration events, optimize user interface positioning, and ensure occupant comfort and egress.

  • Antenna Optimization

    Locational optimization of multiple co-located antennas on platform structures to reduce cosite interference and interoperability issues across diverse frequencies.

  • Power & EMI Design

    Custom power distribution and circuit protection configurations engineered to ensure safe, reliable power delivery across tactical vehicle electronics suites.

  • Custom Mounting Provisions

    Design, finite element analysis certification, and fabrication management of custom metalwork to safely secure C4ISR components.

  • Custom Cabling

    In-house design and fabrication of custom cabling to address physical integration constraints and warfighter operational needs.

  • Field Maintenance Design

    Integration planning designed from an operator perspective to ensure systems withstand operational environments and support rapid field repairs.

Continuous Process Improvement

Service website

Process improvement services combining quality and performance management systems to reduce production and labor costs across engineering, integration, and logistics projects.

  • Process Improvement Framework

    Structured application of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology to identify waste, establish process baselines, and implement efficient workflow solutions.

  • Data Collection and Analysis

    Web-based and automated metrics collection designed to evaluate raw data and generate actionable process improvement solutions with minimal workforce intrusion.
