Cooperative Engagement Capability is a sophisticated new information
network using rf as the transmission medium. TSC provides expertise
in system integration, data collection and analysis for formal performance
test and evaluation, and Reliability, Maintainability, and Availability
(RMA) analysis in support of system production and fielding.
TSC supports
the integration of CEC into the AEGIS Combat System and participates
in the Navy's CEC/AWS integration working group. Our experience in track
filtering and data association allowed us to identify issues related
to composite tracking (i.e., sensor contact fusion) through analysis
and performance prediction.
TSC collected
data and conducted data analyses for CEC underway test events through
CEC Baseline 2.0 technical evaluation (TECHEVAL). TSC conducted equipment
and computer program RMA analyses of all underway events, and evaluated
CEC integration into the AEGIS Baseline 6 Phase I combat system through
data analysis during the Development Test DT-IIB, Underway Test #9,
and events.
TSC provides
design and testing support for new CEC related processor and antenna
design projects by designing test fixtures and test chambers and conducting
performance testing and analysis.
