Engineering Services—System Engineering and Software Development
ATC provides engineering services in the following areas:
The System Engineering and Software Development (SE&SD) Division applies advanced engineering techniques and methodologies from the fields of systems engineering, enterprise architecture, software engineering, software design, network design, system and network management, fault tolerance, and performance engineering to meet our customer's demands for high-performance, high-reliability, real-time systems.
Currently, we are developing the communications code generator for Boeing's Future Combat System.
ATC developed, installed, tested and currently oversees the operational evaluation of the FAA's Final Approach Runway Occupancy Signal, a runway safety technology designed to reduce air traffic accidents.
By rotating our staff between assignments in R&D and SE&SD, our personnel stay current with the latest technologies while retaining domain expertise and sensitivity to real-world issues. This combination of perspectives sets ATC apart.
ATC has performed a variety of SE&SD assignments, including:
- Technical monitoring of the Local Network and System, Network Monitoring, and Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability functions of the FAA's Advanced Automation system
- System engineering, software architecture leadership, and software metrics of United Defense Limited Partnership's (now BAE) Crusader program
- Analysis of redundancy and diversity requirements in the En Route Air Traffic Control environment
- Interoperability requirements analysis and engineering for the Boeing's Future Combat System (FCS)
- Software development of communication code generation and infrastructure to support remote method invocation and publish/subscribe functions for a large network centric architecture
- Software development of safety logic to control operation of runway status lights
