1-15-22 Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC): Space Systems
MDS has begun support in Huntsville, Al, on the M&S and systems engineering of advanced GNC capabilities for extra-terrestrial missile applications. The work includes R&D and M&S of advanced GNC nuclear survivable capabilities from conceptional development, through M&S and HWIL prototyping/test. Engineering encompasses simulation of gyros, accelerometers and IMU and related integration algorithm design. This is a 3-5 year program in support of a US DoD modernization effort.
Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and
Modeling (AFSIM) AFSIM and air force
5-1-18 Space and Cyber M&S Support to Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), Peterson AFB
MDS is a team member on a newly awarded 5 year, $95.9M program focused on advancing the Modeling and Simulation capabilities in the areas of space and cyber for the Air Force. The Colorado Springs, Colorado based effort is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to provide for objective and responsive modeling, simulation, and analysis and decision support for space and cyberspace analyses. The effort includes both development, operation and R&D application of M&S assets, and will deploy such tools as the AFSIM Framework, SEAS, STK and other M&S software based environments. Work will be performed at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, and is expected to be complete by May 31, 2023.
