Evaluating early-stage design processes for maritime vessels by conducting trade studies that adapt to project complexity.

• Early-Stage Design Trade Studies

  Performing requirements trade studies using specialized design synthesis tools and comprehensive evaluation processes.

• Hybrid Design Methodologies

  Combining key elements of set-based design, Unified Trade-Off Environment (UTE/TIES), and traditional point-design approaches.

Developing high-performance air cushion vehicle (ACV) and surface effect ship (SES) skirt systems to optimize operational capability.

• ACV and SES Skirt Engineering

  Designing skirt systems that address critical factors such as craft resistance, finger instability, and cushion-generated spray.

• Deep Skirt Program Advisory

  Leveraging expertise from past involvement in major programs like the USN LCAC, Finnish Navy T-2000 TUULI, and RoKN LSF-II deep skirt systems.

Assembling sub-scale skirt models consisting of hundreds of individual components.

• Sub-Scale Model Assembly

  Cutting lofted component designs and professionally sewing them to withstand rigorous physical testing environments.

Assessing the resistance and seakeeping capabilities of advanced maritime craft.

• ACV and SES Performance Evaluation

  Evaluating resistance and seakeeping behavior utilizing proprietary, program-proven performance assessment tools built specifically for air-cushioned and surface effect vessels.

Matching fan specifications to unique craft pressure and flow requirements.

• Fan Type Selection

  Evaluating and selecting from axial, narrow or wide centrifugal, and mixed-flow fans based on optimal operating regions.

• Flow and Pressure Integration

  Analyzing specific craft attributes to align fan pressure and flow capabilities with overall vessel requirements.

Providing traditional engineering services for diverse maritime vessels.

• Small to Moderate Craft Engineering

  Delivering conventional naval architecture and marine engineering solutions tailored to small and moderate-sized ships and crafts.

Organizing and managing technical maritime programs to ensure schedule and budget adherence.

• Systems Engineering and Team Building

  Applying systems engineering principles and collaborative team-building strategies to keep projects of all scales on track.
