Benefits to Our Customers
Our systems engineers’ efforts benefit our customers by transforming complex technical problems into implementable solutions. We carefully define and consider customer requirements to design and build successful systems. Our engineers identify which solutions will meet system requirements, effectively evaluate the available alternatives, and select the best options that balance technical performance, cost, schedule, risk, and growth potential for the system. We apply continuous control and management oversight to the project during development, while considering the customer’s needs and affordability in every decision throughout the system life cycle.
Our Systems Engineering Work
Our systems engineering approach delivers high-quality, affordable products and services on time and with the correct performance features to our warfighters. Some examples include:
- Our engineers support the MRAP Joint Program Office by providing systems, software, electrical, and mechanical engineering to progress the design, development, integration, and test of the MRAP vehicles. We perform requirements analyses, develop scopes of work, manage engineering efforts, and support test events for the C4ISR and Systems Engineering Teams. We provide engineering expertise to support production tasks, in process reviews, final acceptance, final inspection record reviews, and reviews of technology insertion and pre-planned product improvements.
- We support the Navy with full-spectrum systems engineering and test for the F/A-18, AV-8B, F-22, Joint Strike Fighter, and H-1 aircraft, Unmanned Air Systems, and associated weapons systems. Our systems engineers provide component and systems level test development and analysis, software development, and software validation and verification; integration of weapons, avionics, sensors and targeting systems hardware and software; software engineering and software development for aircraft avionics, sensors and targeting systems, weapons, and mission and system support equipment; and aircraft test instrumentation and telemetry design, development, installation, maintenance, service, setup, and operation.
Committed to Quality
DCS Corp strives to add value to our customers through an unwavering commitment to quality. Our ISO 9001:2008-certified Quality Management System ensures that all DCS activities and processes are consistently applied with maximum efficiency.
