System conceptualization provides an easily understood overview of the system architecture.

Structured methods make the allocation of requirements to the system, software, and hardware architectures a manageable and thorough process.

Collaboration with your staff yields an accurate allocation of requirements and a practical system architecture.

Our goal is to help your staff develop a practical system architecture and accurate allocation of requirements.

Our architecture development experience covers a broad range of control systems, communications, and RF sensors.

Architecture Effort	Examples
Developed Concept System Architectures	Cooperative engagement system High-gain electronic support concept
Performed Architecture Trade-off Studies	Weapon systems with varying degrees of observable RF emissions Missile warning systems Electronic warfare system cost and weight, volume, and power consumption Antenna subsystem cost and weight vs. radar detection performance Radar monopulse processing
Created Hatley-Pirbhai Methodology¹ (HPM) Architecture Models	Multiple-unit parallel solid-state power conversion system 6 software project proposals Secondary radar system Cooperative engagement system Radar system upgrade Proposed electronic warfare systems Electronic support receiver
Allocated System Requirements	Numerous radar tracking modes Electronically-scanned antenna
Estimated Software Sizing	Numerous radar tracking modes Passive ranging with an electronic support receiver
Supported Architecture Development Process	Developed electronic warfare system configuration database tracking components for pricing model, weight, volume, and power consumption See also the Requirements page for additional information on CASE methods, tools, and training
¹ HPM is a set of structured methods for specifying system, software and hardware requirements.
