System Engineering Process

Following a System Engineering process for the development and sustainment of hardware, DynaGrace Enterprises considers all aspects of support for any given engineering effort.  Your requirements for a new or existing system are developed and modified utilizing an iterative life cycle System Engineering Process.

The primary objective of the System Engineering Process is to ensure that the targeted systems/subsystems perform as intended and that the system design is supported a long time and is affordable.

System Testing

System Testing is a level of the software/hardware testing where a complete and integrated test is performed.  The purpose of System Testing is to evaluate and verify the system’s compliance with the specified requirements.

The controlled conditions should include both normal and abnormal conditions. System Level Testing should intentionally attempt to make things go wrong to determine if things happen when they shouldn’t or things don’t happen when they should.

Programming Languages

DynaGrace Enterprises can help you investigate and work on existing systems as well as new systems.  We know programming languages including Automatic Test Language for All Systems (ATLAS), Teradyne LASAR, TBASIC, NI LabView, and C/C routines.

Engineering Drawings

DynaGrace Enterprises has the capability generate engineering drawings using state-of-the-art workstations (primarily AutoCAD, Inventor, and SolidWorks. Documentation is provided in SGML (or other Government required format) and engineering drawings are provided in JEDMICS compatible format (including metadata) while also assuring full compliance with Air Force standards.

Documentation

DynaGrace Enterprises identifies Technical Data Package requirements during the early stages of project performance and works with the customer to review and update documentation needs throughout the System Engineering Process. Documentation requirements (e.g., CAD Drawings, T.O. Figures, JEDMICS data, etc.) are also reviewed and coordinated with Government stakeholders as an integral component of Program Management.

DynaGrace Enterprises utilizes peer reviews, design walkthroughs, internal reviews, and formal product reviews/audits with stakeholders to ensure document quality and completeness. This process of checks and balances has been applied successfully throughout the course of many jobs.

DynaGrace Enterprises has the capability to generate and convert engineering/technical documentation to digital format and has supported several contract efforts requiring the transition of pre-existing documentation to SGML, PDF, and IPDF formats.

Documentation Tools

• Arbortext Epic
• Adobe Acrobat, Capture, and Distiller

A-10C Portable Automatic Test Station (PATS) Test Program Set Software Development – Provided engineer services in researching, testing, and validating Test Program Set (TPS) hardware and software design including development activities to test a Unit Under Test (UUT) and the host Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). Established or modified hardware and software documentation, coded software test programs and integrated and tested the TPS on the PATS ATE. Hill AFB, Utah.

Analog Test Program Set (TPS) Sustainment Engineering Support – Investigated and worked Materiel Improvement Projects (MIPs) for the 309th SMXG/MXDED. Provided engineering services to investigate and modify appropriate software/hardware of Test Program Sets (TPSs). Hill AFB, Utah.

Logistics Support of Engineering and Technical Data – Illustrators created illustrations utilizing AutoCAD, Adobe Products, and CATIA from drawings in electronic or hand-drawn work. Drawings were verified by a QA/QC process to conform to MIL-STD-38784A. When an IETM format was required, illustrators utilized CGM and web-based CGM formats. Hill AFB, Utah.

Technical Data Creation – Created a de-installation TO for the CW-396 Space Frame Radome used on the AN/FPS-117 Atmospheric Early Warning System (AEWS) Weapons System. Developed a level-three data package including all engineering data and specifications. Created a Deployable Debriefing Facility (DDF) data package and incorporated changes into existing drawing packages. Hill AFB, Utah.

Versatile Depot Automatic Test System (VDATS) – Provided engineering, and technical and configuration management services for the software and hardware required for VDATS including delivery of Test Program Sets (TPSs). The TPSs included the Interface Test Adapter (ITA) and ancillary equipment to augment the capability of the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) test station. Hill AFB, Utah.
