Engineering Support
The TSC team has supported the Navy in the transition from R&D projects to completed warfighting engineering programs. This includes upgrading existing equipment as well as designing and developing new equipment.  
 
TSC provides technical support for the development, production, and lifetime support of the AEGIS Weapon and Combat Systems. Nine consecutive 100% Award Fee scores on contract N00024-96-C-5166 attest to the value of TSC’s efforts. The principal focus is on AN/SPY-1 performance assessment and upgrade development. Consideration of new capabilities such as TBMD, Fire Support, and environmental sensing is a significant part of this support. We are a member of all the Navy Review Teams for AN/SPY-1 new developments, backfit upgrades, and sensor integration into AEGIS. We maintain a COTS Laboratory, which enables us to assess algorithm performance on specific processor boards.  
 
TSC efforts related to radar performance in Littoral Warfare have been closely aligned to the AN/SPY-1D(V) radar system engineering development. We evaluate and model the design and performance of low altitude, reduced signature threats in order to quantify AEGIS system performance against these threats and to suggest improvements to overcome shortfalls. Much of the work related to AN/SPY-1D(V) is also applicable to the AN/SPY-1B/D Upgrade Program.  
TSC has assisted the FMS efforts of the Program Office with AN/SPY-1 variant performance evaluations. These analyses include performance predictions in adverse environment, both natural and ECM, which we expect allied forces to face; effectiveness of the allied variants of AEGIS against regional threats, including capability and limitations; and recommendations of potential modifications to enhance their performance consistent with equipment and computer program releasability. We recently provided AN/SPQ-9B performance studies to the Royal Australian Navy under the FMS provisions of this contract.  
 
Introducing CEC can provide a major performance enhancement for AEGIS. TSC is a member of the CEC Navy Review Team and has participated in land-based and at-sea testing. In addition, TSC has participated in government and industry exchanges on the proposed, new variant of CEC called the Tactical Component Network. We perform system analysis of the interoperability and integration of CEC with the AWS during design and test phases of the program.  
 
TSC performs system engineering efforts to NSWCDD, Theater Warfare Systems (T) Department, through a series of contracts dating from May 1999 and continuing through the present (N60921-94-C-A313 (Prime), N00178-98-D-1012 (Sub), N00178-99-C-3034 (Sub)) in support of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) System. TSC participates as a member of the system engineering team tasked to validate, verify, and accredit the Lead System Integrator Integrated Distributed Simulation (LIDS), a complex system simulation of the GMD system. TSC reviews requirements and algorithm code of the simulation, and performs data analysis of the simulation results. TSC generates tools for the data analysis as needed for this task. Contracts providing for this work include N00024-96-C-5166, GS-23F-0032L, N00039-96-C-0053, N00164-96-D-0002, N00164-01-D-0039, XXXXX-02-C-6916, GS-35F-4357D, N00178-98-C-2006 and N00178-03-D-3073.  
 
The support provided by EG&G covers a variety of engineering tasks from concept formulation, design, development and validation of expeditionary force ship radars, combat direction systems, subsystems, total ship networks, and software development. Systems include the Ship Wide Area Networks (SWANs), a fiber optic based ship wide area network, and the Integrated Combat Direction System (ICDS), which digitally integrates the ship’s current combat system with new weapons systems and sensors.  
 
EG&G provides engineering support in the analysis, design, and specifications for the conversion of four TRIDENT Ballistic Missile Submarines (SSBN) to Guided Missile Submarines (SSGN). EG&G participated in engineering studies by the Architecture Working Group to determine system requirements and developed major sections of the Attack Weapon Control System (AWCS) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) document and an SSGN Weapon Control System Program Management Plan. EG&G has performed market surveys, vendor solicitations, product evaluation and compatibility testing, and product selection for the Qualification portion of the Acceptance process for SSGN and SSBN Mk 98 Mod 6/7 Subsystem.  
 
EG&G provides system engineering support to Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems and weapon control systems as they relate to system engineering in order to determine the level of risk associated with those systems, for both developmental and deployed environments. This effort involves implementation of systems engineering analysis techniques, risk assessment, program planning, configuration and change control, and trend analyses and studies. Specific programs that have been supported to date include: Advanced Close Air Support System (ACASS), Advanced Combat Direction System (ACDS), Advanced Integrated Electronic Warfare System (AIEWS), AEGIS Combat System, Anti-Submarine Warfare Control System (ASWCS), Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) and Advanced TOMAHAWK Weapon Control System (ATWCS). EG&G also provides operational evaluation, engineering, computer programming, reliability, maintainability, and availability analysis and operational testing and evaluation of radar system software and hardware for radar systems including AN/SPS-67(V)3 and (V)5, AN/SYS-2(V)10, AN/SPS-49(V)5, AN/SPS-73, AN/SPS-48E.  
 
Engineering, system engineering, and process engineering support provided by EG&G includes support for the Modernization Program, evaluating and integrating new capabilities into existing systems and footprints of SSN 688, 688i, and SSBN\SSGN 726 platforms. Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware, software, and new development equipments are identified, interface and installation control drawings generated, and SHIPALT & TEMPALT drawings completed. EG&G has provided support in this area under contracts N66604-00-D-221B, n00178-99-D-3034, N63394-02-D-3105 and N00164-98-D-0020.  
 
Lakota was contracted (N00024-00-C-5130) to provide technical and engineering services to support the CEC System Integration, and Test and Evaluation into all naval, as well as newly emerging joint CEC platforms, and Theater Air Missile Defense and Cruise Missile Defense architecture. In this role, Lakota assisted in the development of CEC tactical and battle-force doctrine, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs); identified compatibility and interoperability issues; investigated new functional allocations between elements for follow-on implementations of CEC and other platform systems (e.g., combat systems); provided input to the Government for technical review/reports; and generated white papers regarding future capabilities and deficiencies in the currently deployed systems.  
 
Sabre provides engineering support to the Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division’s (NAWC-AD) Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) Laboratory. Navy and Sabre executives and technical management periodically meet to research, plan, implement and manage the aircraft and laboratory architecture. This group must consider issues/risks such as, HLA and Joint Tactical Architecture (JTA) compliance. They must review technology trends, Federal Information Technology policy and security mandates, future resource utilization and requirements to optimize the use of the testing assets, improve aircraft avionics, simulation applications, simulation/stimulation training and training tools. Sabre is leading the SEI CMM certification effort in this facility. This work is performed under two delivery orders of N00421-99-A-1279.  
 
SSA, under N63394-97-D-2106, has been supporting the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Test and Evaluation Department at NSWCPHD. SSA has been involved in all aspects of AEGIS BMD testing including mission development, test plan development, test event scheduling, and test conduct of Sea Based Missile Defense (AEGIS Leap Intercept) events and during Navy participation in Ground Based Missile Defense (formerly NMD) events. SSA has represented NSWCPHD as a Project Engineer on numerous test events and has been responsible for weapons integration, computer program testing, and execution of Tracking and Firing missions.  
 
SSA, under subcontracts GS-23F-0032L/A2S17B1277 and N00024-96-C-5166, has analyzed the performance of the Radar Control Computer Program of the AN/SPY-1 Radar System. It has been responsible for reviewing proposed computer program logic designs and for recommending design changes to improve system performance in areas such as transition to track logic, track load control, and the integration and performance evaluation of the Track Initiation Processor.  		 Functional Areas:
