GROUND SYSTEMS

Abacus supports major ground system projects with a variety of capabilities in command, control and communication systems, air defense systems and operations stations. Our work encompasses problem definition, requirements analysis, simulation, system development, and system integration and test.

Abacus has participated in creating command, control, communication and intelligence systems for the Army's major Future Combat Systems project and such large-scale systems as DDX, LHA, JSS and TDRSS. Our involvement also includes establishing a major command and control intelligence system consisting of a hierarchical network of computers using a network-centric paradigm.

We develop tactical system applications for a variety of operational enviornments and performance requirements such as those we contributed to the U.S. Army FCS, TACFIRE and TSQ systems.

We model and simulate engineering systems to ensure a thorough analysis and evaluation of critical system factors. Our work involves performance evaluation, sensitivity analysis, and hardware simulation.

Abacus is participating in the test and integration phases of several major systems, and our expertise extends to test requirements, procedures, implementation and evaluation. We have developed and used special tools and techniques on major projects including the Space Shuttle, Space Station, ALS, Iridium, Spaceway, FAB-T, C-17, B1B, FCS, JTRS, NASP and the VAST project for the Navy.
