TSC provides expert engineering and analysis support for the microwave devices in complex radar and communications systems throughout their life cycles. TSC's customers include the United States Navy and Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration. Microwave devices are often primary drivers of radar and communications system cost, reliability, and performance. Controlling costs and ensuring reliable system operation requires intimate familiarity with the characteristics of microwave devices throughout the life cycle. TSC's engineers, scientists and computer specialists are a premier team, experienced with microwave device development from conceptualization to retirement.

TSC Indiana Operations plays a leading role in many modern microwave systems including the Navy AEGIS system. The Indiana Operations has been part of the Navy's AEGIS team for more than 20 years, participating in the Research and Design of microwave devices for the AEGIS Combat System from the AN/SPY-1A configuration on CG-47 to the AN/SPY-1D (V) for the DDG-91. TSC has built its broad microwave device expertise from hands-on industry experience, long-term Naval involvement, and academic research. Our experience with AEGIS spans all elements of system support, including Analysis, Test, and Product Improvement of its more than 150 Vacuum Electronic Devices (VEDs).

In addition to its key role in the AEGIS Combat System, TSC specialists support a wide range of other advanced radar and communications systems for the Navy of today and of the future. TSC support for the microwave devices used in these systems ranges from component selection and analysis to complex interface, test, and integration solutions. Our engineers are experts in solid state and vacuum rf devices, antennas, and subsystems.

TSC computer specialists assist customers to set up and maintain automated test facilities for a variety of microwave components. They have applied their broad-based engineering and computer skills to the test and evaluation of VEDs, such as Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT), to cutting-edge solid state devices and to complex phased-array antennas. This unique test capability ensures consistent and accurate tests are coupled with the ability to track component life and reliability throughout the system's life cycle.

In addition to TSC's support of emerging systems and technologies, our engineers and scientists help customers develop and maintain major repair facilities for a myriad of radar and communications-related components ranging from VEDs for AEGIS, MK-99, MILSTAR, and AN/APS-115 to antennas for the AN/SPS-48 and solid state sources for CEC. TSC engineers also help customers extend the effective life of their legacy systems through Reverse Engineering obsolete components, finding appropriate substitutes for materials and components that have become Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMS) victims, finding environmentally friendly substitutes for hazardous materials, and choosing alternative VEDs and solid state devices for aging systems.

TSC Indiana Operations is your source for wide-ranging engineering support and management of your valuable complex microwave components. Whether the problem is materials and manufacturing support for vacuum electronics, design analysis of complex solid-state subsystems, or management of life cycle and reliability of critical assets, TSC can help.
