Systems Engineering – DELUNA has extensive experience with the development, analysis, decomposition, implementation and testing of systems requirements to meet Mission Objectives and Simulator/Training needs of both fielded and future systems.

Simulation Engineering – DELUNA has extensive experience in the architecture, design, implementation and use of simulations built for handling qualities, flight controls, avionics analysis, and flight/operator/student training.  We have designed and built simulations ranging from small, limited envelope models to large, high fidelity, multi-player versions. Our experience includes:

• F-16 C/D Block 30B (HUD, FCC, DFLCS)
  
• AGM-137 TSSAM (Launch Platform Simulation)
  
• YF-22 Simulation (Track Fusion, Cross Platform Autocoder)
  
• Test and Evaluation Mission Simulator (Real-time Executive)
  
• Real-time Parameter Identification (Flight/Aero Data Production)
  
• CV990 LSRA (Gear Control Simulation)
  
• F-16 XL2 SLFC (Up/Down Link Experiment Control)
  
• RETS (Real-time Executive, Flight Controls & Flight Data Collection)
  
• X-33 Space Shuttle Replacement (1553 Autocoder, Shared Memory)
  
• Air Traffic Control (Carrier Based, Amphibious & Tower)
  
• T-45C RAMP (Complete Trainer Upgrade/Refresh)

Software Engineering – DELUNA has comprehensive knowledge and experience of software design and development for both flight and simulation software applications. DELUNA personnel have participated in software projects from the concept and design phase through independent verification and validation concluding with operational use of the final product (i.e., Experiment, Mission Rehearsal and Student/Operator Training). We are familiar with the pitfalls of software development and the current standards (i.e., IEEE 12207) and practices designed to avoid them. Our experience includes:

• Languages (C/C++, FORTRAN, Ada, X-Windows, QT, …)
• Operating Systems (Windows, VxWorks, Unix, Linux, VAX, …)
• Tools (Visual Studio, Matlab, GL_Studio, …)
• AutoCoders (FORTRAN to C, Data Dictionaries, 1553 I/O, …)

Aircraft/Avionics - DELUNA has experience working on high fidelity simulation models of sophisticated aircraft/avionics systems such as those used on F-16 and F-22 aircraft.  We have designed and implemented aircraft/avionics models for both all-software and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. We have built interfaces for Mil-Std 1553B and the bus architecture for data communications. Our experience includes:

• Onboard Computer (Flight Control, Mission, …)
  
• Navigation (EGI, INS only, …)
  
• Control Heads (VHF/UHF Radio, MFDs, ...)
  
• Flight Controls (Stick, Throttle, Actuators, …)

Aircraft Flight Test/Data Production – DELUNA has considerable experience in the analysis and reduction of flight test data for engineering use.  Our knowledge of what engineers want and need to know allows us to build automated tools that make computers do the tedious work.  DELUNA engineers have extensive experience in the computation and real-time display of test data used for engineering judgments and decisions. Our experience includes:

• Real-time Parameter Identification (Flight/Aero Data Production)
• PC Parameter Identification (Post Flight Data Production)
• Auto Fidelity Testing (Simulation to Aircraft validation)
• Time History’s Display and Editor (Digital Strip Charts)
• Flight Test Reports (Test Configuration & Test Results)

Trade Studies – DELUNA has expertise in the definition and execution of Trade Studies. DELUNA has conducted and participated in the following types of trade studies:

• New Products (Digital Projectors, Image Generators, …)
• New Technologies (Voice Recognition, Speech Synthesis, …)
• Process Improvements (Software, Hardware, Documentation, …)
• Performance (Staff/Customer Interviews, Products, Processes, …)
