Capabilities of DMAero

Capabilities

DMAero (DMA) offers engineering, technical support, integration, maintenance, modification, and repair to systems and support equipment throughout the lifecycle. We provide our customers optimum engineering bandwidth utilizing a multilayered team that possesses the skills, attributes, and the knowledge to cover any engineering challenge.

System Design

Whether the new system will reuse current system modules or be a full system design, DMA understands the relationship between various componets and how the completed system interfaces into the system as a whole. We have designed both reuse and complete systems for military applications.

Previous Experiences Include:

APQ-166 Radar Pressurization Unit (B-52)
ARC-169 Front Panel (E-3 Sentry)
Electronic Control Unit and Loader's Weapon Control Panel for the Trainable Gun Mount (C-130)
Display Software for the Terrain Following Program (MC-130J)

Test and Support Equipment

DMA test engineers have decades of experience defining Measure of Effectiveness (MoEs), Measure of Performance (MoPs), and associated test events for military aircrafts, vehicles, ships, and support equipment. For example, for testing the AC-130U’s fire control system modification, MoEs/MoPs were established from the AC-130U’s Prime Item Development Specification, including the required Circular Error Probable (CEP) for accuracy of each weapon system on the AC-130U.

DMA uses proven planning techniques during the development of MoEs/MoPs, including process analysis, design or engineering analysis, matrix analysis, and dendritic analysis. Our planning process is iterative. We use the results of each test to help in the design and planned execution of future tests.

Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Research and Development (R&D)

Two of our core competencies include providing R&D analyses and complete solutions for unique requirements. The keys to providing comprehensive solutions include developing and maintaining an accurate Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), and completing a thorough Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) to determine the available solution options which meet the requirements and provide the best value to our customer. DMA views these steps as being critical to identifying and narrowing available hardware/software options down in order to select the best candidates for project success.

Previous Experiences Include:

Using our own internal R&D funds, DMA developed DMAnalyze, a 1553 Chapter 10 Data Reduction Software Tool. The tool applies platform specific, XML based ICD, to Chapter 10 formatted telemetry data, which produces readable data in engineering units. DMAnalyze functions include advanced data export, search, fault isolation, and statistical analysis packages.

Developed an innovative Open Systems Technologies (HOST) Conformance Test Tool to support and add automation to the verification of IRIG hardware conformance to HOST Standards.
- The overall technical objective was to establish the feasibility of developing an automated conformance validation tool for HOST compliant devices. A challenge for HOST conformance testing is that the standards define an overarching set of logical interfaces in the Tier 1 standard, which are then further refined and applied to core technologies featuring unique physical interfaces in Tier 2 standards. In addition, product specific functions are defined in unique Tier 3 Component Specifications. In order to be a feasible solution, the tool must be adaptable to provide validation for all three (3) Tiers of HOST specifications.

Designed, developed, tested, and implemented the tools necessary to process the required data for maximizing the effectiveness of all FTs by incorporating specific terrain features, providing a complete analysis of the test environment for efficient and accurate verification testing, capable of replaying flight data and analyzing radar returns at certain points in time. The tool is composed of multiple subsystems, an IRIG 106-107 Chapter 10 data interpreter, database handler, radar emulator, and map generator. Other efforts completed under this tasking included modeling, data analysis, data capture, software coding, and the completion of business case analyses.
- This information technology research project sought innovative advancements and automation of the current technology available to the Air Force and Commercial Avionics Depots to support Unit Under Test (UUT) flight-test (FT) and radar data analysis. Currently, the ability to accurately compare radar return data with topology is nonexistent.
