System Safety
TSC team members have been responsible for assuring that equipment placed on board ships is safe to the users and to the maintainers.  
 
TSC is involved in the Evolved SEASPARROW Missile (ESSM) NATO Weapons Program safety Integrated Product Team (IPT). The system safety program and environmental concerns are an integral part of the total ESSM program and IPT structure. TSC is also a key member of the NSPO System Safety and Environmental group providing recommendations on safety and environmental issues. The recommendations are evaluated, risk trade-offs are performed, and the resultant corrective actions are incorporated into the ESSM system. TSC has performed specialized safety related analyses, including FMEA/FMECA, hazard analysis and prohibited materials analysis. As part of the PHALANX Block 1B effort, TSC evaluated the PHALANX prime contractor’s Safety Analyses and Failure Mode Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for the Block 1B Design. This work has been performed under contracts GS-23F-0032L, GS-35-0012K/AS13 and N00024-96-C-5459.  
 
EG&G provided systems engineering support to the Tactical Software Branch (Code 6067) for the Integrated Radar Optical Sighting and Surveillance System (IROSS) and the AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare System. This includes performing system safety engineering analysis, preparing the system safety plan, and actively participating in design and testing reviews and various review boards, including the Weapons System Explosive Safety Review Board (WSESRB), Software System Safety Technical Review Panel (SSSTRP), and Laser Safety Review Board (LSRB).  
 
EG&G possesses engineering and technical expertise in the evaluation of military aircraft, ordnance, and electrical / electronic equipment to the Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO), Intersystem Electromagnetic Compatibility / Electromagnetic Vulnerability (EMC/EMV), Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP), Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF). EG&G plans, coordinates, and reports test results utilizing ground planes, anechoic and reverberation chambers, Naval Ordnance Transient Electromagnetic Simulator (NOTES) and shipboard and land-based platforms at Government facilities such as: NAWCWD, China Lake CA, Edwards Air Force Base, California NSWCDD, Dahlgren, VA, WSMR, White Sands, NM, and NAWCAD, Patuxent River MD. EG&G develops, operates, and maintains HERO/EMC database containing approximately 21,000 records of E3 report listings relating to the susceptibility of ordnance systems at all levels (system, subsystem and component). EG&G has over 20 years of experience planning, supporting, and conducting HERO/EMC/EMV testing.  
 
EG&G supports developmental and experimental Navy and Marine Corps weapon systems and weapon control systems in the field of system safety engineering in order to determine the level of risk associated with those systems. This effort involves reviews of historical data, analyses of system designs and associated equipment and their interfaces to personnel, and evaluations of the environmental safety issues and sociological and political considerations, etc. as appropriate. Analyses are conducted on hardware (e.g., electrical, mechanical and hydraulic) and software (e.g., fire control, weapon control, and command and decision systems) in various weapons and related systems in accordance with the applicable tasks of MIL-STD-882B with Change Notice 1, MIL-STD-882C, MIL-STD-882D, or as otherwise specified. Contracts supported include N00024-01-D-7019, N00178-98-D-1039, N00164-98-C-5197.  
 
Gryphon’s Panama City office has over 20 years of military hardware T&E experience and over three years as a safety engineer for DDG 51 class equipment. The safety portion of N00024-98-C-5297/TT0508193 involves identifying, teaching, assisting in resolving safety and personnel hazards, and conducting safety surveys. Gryphon prepares safety documentation for client and external reviews based on the HAR’s and SHAR’s , as required. They review the specifications of Combat System elements to determine that safety recommendations are adequately incorporated for the safety of the ship and crew. They also review change products to ensure adequate specification of the combat system is maintained, and that hazards to the installers and maintainers are controlled. Gryphon also provides and maintains records of all safety reports, surveys and analysis. 		Functional Areas:
