Techno-Sciences, Inc |
| As the Prime Contractor and Lead Principal Researcher/Investigator,
Techno-Sciences scientist and engineers led fundamental research, study,
and experimentation in the development of Naval Ship Power Systems
Management, Control, and Supervision strategies for reconfiguration
and damage mitigation of next generation integrated power systems.
TSi engineers advanced the state of shipboard power system management,
prognostics, and control through ongoing funded research. By leveraging
these efforts we developed health monitoring capability for use in
shipboard power systems. The proposed techniques and technology have
a wide applicability for electric power generation systems, other sea
and land vehicles, and applications where distributed power generation
is being used as a primary source or to supplement the grid power.
The power management tools developed here are applicable to terrestrial
as well as shipboard power systems. This was a Phase III SBIR (Small
Business Innovation and Research) Award based upon a Phase II SBIR
Contract Award. |

Techno-Sciences, Inc |
| As the Prime Contractor and Lead Principal Researcher/Investigator,
Techno-Sciences scientist and engineers led efforts in the development
of on-board envelope estimation, protection, and upset recovery tools
to address loss of control incidents in commercial aircraft. In Phase
II, Techno-Sciences engineers will extend the methodology to design
an on-board envelope protection system and study upset recovery schemes.
The analytical tools will be supported by the development of commercial
grade software for on-board envelope estimation and upset recovery
for unimpaired and impaired aircraft. Techno-Sciences’ engineers
have already implemented symbolic tools for modeling and analysis,
database management, numerical validation and visualization. The project
will directly impact the goals of the Integrated Resilient Aircraft
control project and advance the technical goals of NASA's Aviation
Safety Program by developing on-board flight envelope investigation
for unimpaired and impaired aircraft. In particular, the technology
proposed is closely linked to project's goal of "Stability, maneuverability
and safe landings in presence of adverse conditions". The proposed
technology will go a long way in making not just commercial aircraft
safer but it has the potential to improve the understanding of flight
dynamics and control including that required for space shuttle safety. |

to carefully detail the system’s original design and subsequent
iterations closely tracking configuration changes, upgrades, version
control, and eventual equipment asset tracking. The database supported
the design and installation of the integrated coastal surveillance
system installed in Indonesia for SPAWAR. The system consists of X
and S Band Radars, Marine AIS, Day Visible Light Camera, Night Thermal
Imagers, VHF-FM Communications, HF Communications, VSAT Communications,
and Microwave Communications systems. |

engineers applied standard computer software principles to design and
develop a data sharing interface document for the sharing of data between
two Command and Control Centers. Techno-Sciences’ software
engineers led the effort to implement the modifications necessary
in the interface
document that allows the sharing of data between the Malaysian Armed
Forces Joint Task Force Two [MAF JTF2] Command Center and the Malaysian
Integrated Maritime Surveillance System [IMSS] Command Center. TSi
software engineers coordinated the development of written specifications
for the software and hardware frameworks necessary for the transfer
of ship track data from one Command Center, MAR JTF2, to the IMSS
Command Center.
Additionally, as part of the contracts to deliver integrated maritime
surveillance systems consisting of X and S Band Radars, Marine
AIS, Day Visible Light Camera, Night Thermal Imagers, VHF-FM
Communications,
HF Communications, VSAT Communications, and Microwave Communications
systems in Indonesia for SPAWAR System Center San Diego, Techno-Sciences
software engineers planned, designed, coded, tested, integrated,

Techno-Sciences’ engineers researched equipment “mean time
between failures” and selected alternative sources of supply
to address future life cycle obsolescence. Our testing program is compliant
with DoD Instruction 5000.2, Integrated Testing and Evaluation section.
Our Test and Evaluation strategy focuses on two key areas: 1) validating
that delivered items perform as designed and 2) validating that the
integrated system performs as designed and meets the requirements set
forth in the specifications. |

fundamental business principles to coordinate the organizational planning
necessary to scale the organization to meet the demands of this new
integration assignment. TSi program managers adopted new accounting
software to properly account for the many new financial transactions
due to the new contract. As technicians and engineers began traveling
to execute contract deliverables program managers instituted Travel
Standards and Guidelines and instituted a formal travel expense review
process. In addition to the many engineering processes that were analyzed
and improved for efficiency, many business processes were assessed
and streamlined to aid in contract execution. Business processes reviewed
and improved included: time card review, invoice approval, shipping,
export controls, asset tagging and tracking, and inventory management.
Additionally, as the Prime Contractor for the design, installation,
and delivery of integrated maritime surveillance systems consisting
of X and S Band Radars, Marine AIS, Day Visible Light Camera, Night
