Advanced Systems Group

The Advanced Systems Group focuses on providing support to government scientists and program managers in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, International Defense Agencies, and Military Services.

This group is comprised of highly skilled, experienced personnel who represent a broad range of technical, practical, administrative, financial and programmatic disciplines. They have proven invaluable in assisting government scientists and managers in planning, initiating, executing and transitioning their programs to the next phase of development and acquisition.

Specifically, the Advanced Systems Group staff is recognized for its ability to take new technology ideas and initiatives from concept formulation to system development and acquisition. Our people have the knowledge, experience and skill to assist government managers in "getting the job done" quickly and effectively.

The Group also has demonstrated its capability and experience in analyzing requirements and developing responsive plans; prototyping technology; and in conducting engineering and system analyses, and tests and evaluations.

The Advanced Systems Group provides support to both government and industry in the development of more survivable military vehicles and associated enabling technologies. The Group's expertise spans the areas of surface ship and aircraft/missile survivability, electronic warfare (EW) systems, mission analysis and planning, signature management tactics, and advanced systems applications.

Center for Advanced Systems Applications
		Engineers in this Center provide technical and program expertise in the areas of sensors, lasers, solid-state devices, electro-optical/infrared, microwave devices, communications systems, etc., as they are applied to both advanced development and prototype/fielded systems. This Center's customers include leading-edge technology organizations (such as the U.S. government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and associated research laboratories and commercial contractors.

Center for Signature Technology
		The focus of this Center is on high-tech signature technology activities including stealth, counter stealth, communications, and EW as they apply to weapon systems and platforms. Technical services are provided to support government, commercial, and international customers in all technical and analytical related activities from initial R&D through modeling and simulation, field test and evaluation, and life-cycle support. When appropriate, this Center will also do prototyping and maintains the capability to subcontract for specialized manufacturing activities.
