System Engineering Services

BAI's System Engineering Services (SES) Group performs a range of diverse engineering services spanning the entire life cycle from conception through sustainment and eventual sunset of systems and systems-of-systems. Our areas of expertise include:

Platform and Weapon Systems Mission Planning
Aircraft & Weapon System Platform Avionics & On-board Systems
Intelligence Systems
Command & Control Systems
Expeditionary Operations
Information Assurance
Test laboratory management

BAI employs MSCE engineers, integrators, intelligence and operations specialists, CMMI-trained process experts, software developers, system and lab administrators, test and system security engineers, former aviators and other subject matter experts. By applying specialized skills in such areas as cryptographic methods, secure computing, information management, and network infrastructure, BAI system engineers have enabled unprecedented levels of collaboration among operational users while maintaining secure, accredited networked systems.

Systems Integration. For over ten years, our seasoned engineering team has played a key role in the integration of Navy and joint mission planning systems with fielded C2ISR systems (e.g. the Global Command and Control System (GCCS)), and consulted in the development and implementation of intelligence-related software for EA-6B mission planning. Our continuing activities include the full range of systems engineering tasks - from systems requirements analysis through battlespace integration testing - to provide the Fleet with the highest quality products and capabilities.

Sustainment Services. BAI brings to bear over a decade of experience deploying and managing systems and products to the Warfighter. BAI ensures that legacy systems are cost-effectively supported and continue to provide valuable service while working with customers to design and field the next generation’s capabilities. As an example, BAI managed all technical aspects for the Tactical Automated Mission Planning System (TAMPS) while working closely with the US Navy to design and develop the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS), the TAMPS follow-on. These areas include program management, software testing, configuration management, deficiency report tracking, trouble report analysis, developer monitoring and Fleet user liaison. BAI has provide top-notch support of this legacy system throughout its sustainment phase, including software updates for both routine and time-sensitive emergency changes required by the Fleet, integration and verification of new mission planning modules, configuration management of software baselines, and production of Fleet releases. Over the last three years of sustained combat operations, the TAMPS software has sustained no operational mission failures, a fitting testimony to the efforts of the BAI Team.

Program Support. For the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS), BAI is integrating current builds and developing the software configuration management system for future deployments. BAI works side-by-side with other JMPS team members defining requirements and prototyping new planning capabilities as concept of operations and tactics evolve. BAI’s efforts also include the design and implementation of business solutions enabling the Government to operate like a commercial corporation in effectively planning, executing and monitoring its business operations. BAI also provides critical program management support functions for the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile.

Test. BAI test engineers perform virtually all laboratory test functions, develop test plans, and test reports for software, platforms and weapons. Our test engineers are key members in mission planning test teams in the Navy Integration Laboratory at Point Mugu, Integrated Battlespace Arena (IBAR), Weapons Engagement Office (WEO) and Naval Fires Network (NFN) test facilities.

Process Improvement. BAI's close and trusted interaction with our Government customers includes the following services: management implementation of best practices (such as Earned Value Management System and Software CMMI), leadership in innovative solutions, lead JMPS security engineer, requirements analysis, product integration, process/product quality assurance, subject matter expertise, and military planning and operations.
