Problem Solving at the Operational and Technical Level
Whether it’s a properly written CONOPS, a Requirements Management Plan (RMP), or deriving a coherent set of System Requirements (SRs) from too many ‘wishes’ masquerading as User Requirements, Aerotech can support your project at the programmatic level. If the project is already underway, our Red Team can provide insight to aid streamlining and reduce costs; if the project is in the planning stage, then Aerotech can provide support with operational input to Concept Development and specialist technical/systems advice – understanding the potential constraints and leading assumptions while drafting requirements is an invaluable part of achieving a successful outcome.
Aerosystems Expertise
Aerotech’s experienced Systems Engineers can provide support in a number of important technical areas, including:
- Pilot Night Vision Systems (PNVS)
- Helmet Mounted Systems (HMS)
- Crew Workstation Evaluation
- Electro Optic (EO) Systems Integration
- ISR Operations, including radar and ESM/EW
- UAS (including MUM-T) and C-UAS (SCAR) Operations
- Civil/Military certification
End-to-End Support
Aerotech’s broad remit across programmatic and technical disciplines facilitates end-to-end support to major programmes – a critical resource for PMs with many (often competing) Stakeholders, with little intervisibility, vying for resources and priority. Aerotech’s targeted support can make a significant difference in terms of cost, timescale and the operational effectiveness of the end result, so often a disappointment where cost inflation has been allowed to take hold. The marginal increased programme cost of incorporating Aerotech’s expertise has been proven to be dwarfed by overall cost savings to many projects, small or large. A prime example is Aerotech’s proprietary Scalable C-UAS Assessment of Risk (SCAR), which applies industry-recognised SE practices to the issue of provision of CUAS capability. While large CNI sites may have budget to entertain some of the vastly expensive (and mostly untested) solutions offered, the current UK requirements for all vulnerable organisations to have a C-UAS plan means that a simpler approach may represent an ALARP result – but how to achieve this in a cost-effective manner? SCAR was developed for exactly this task, but the core approach is applicable to any systems project, large or small – Aerotech’s approach identifies constraints and issues quickly, enables appropriate allocation of effort and facilitates a cost/benefit decision vs. proposed solutions. In turn, the process allows PMs to ‘weed out’ unfeasible ideas and poorly-supported technical solutions, getting directly to the optimum outcome, be it a full systems development or simply ‘do nothing’ if exiting measures are deemed ALARP – Aerotech does not represent equipment manufacturers, so our analysis is unbiased; if this approach resonates with your project requirements, then click on the link below and get in touch.
