Design Analysis: Rapid Prototyping Process

RAPID PROTOTYPING PROCESS Mission Insights: Gap Analysis Technology Inventory: Opportunity Assessment Concept Ideation: Technology pull User push Feasibility analysis User Driven Test Design & Experimentation FLASH design review: Escalated test: Replace lengthy design cycles with a short, intense Use lab gear that can be field deployed - Keep logistics down - Ensures calibration through test cycle burst of debate among engineers and stakeholders Build - Test - Build Use incremental Build cycle to progressively demonstrate capability KEY ASPECTS OF RAPID PROTOTYPING Evolutionary development approach "Trial and error" approach to design and development Developmental testing Extensive iterative developmental testing Right-sized documentation Documentation level tailored to client need/desire and accomplished on the back end Aggressive risk management throughout development cycle Continuous communications with client to ensure a clear understanding of client needs and to convey and mitigate risks TECHNOLOGY INJECTION Technology Injection's innovation-based approach to Tech Scouting finds technologies other approaches do not Research and a-. . Assess solutions in identify potential solutions context of dient mission and needs - Identify client Enable dient .- mission success mission needs and areas for through innovation and technology improvement The Technology Injection approach can be applied to continuously improve a client's ability to carry out its mission & vision. A robust process provides clients with the thought leadership to drive continuous innovation to meet and exceed mission objectives Technology Injection supports clients by identifying, accessing, evaluating and implementing emerging technologies and research The team leverages its robust network of relationships to deliver measurable and beneficial results to clients Often researchers have a "build it and they will come" approach. We inject early stage technology by matching mission needs to researchers. ex: applying "toy" robots to keep warriors out of harms way. We have a vast, open, network of researchers, built upon our client service at numerous Government agencies, laboratories, and range facilities. Data: we estimate that we review thousands of researcher submissions per month. Our research and development laboratories have a variety of instrumentation systems (ex. 3D scanners, RF measurement) and open system testbeds (ex. FPGA embedded processors) for exploring technology injection in a systems context. We have successfully integrated new technology into numerous aircraft, ground systems, sensors, and ISR equipment. In many cases we broker with government or contractor labs to reduce the cost and time to test compatibility and compliance. (A ex: anechoic chambers and advanced electromagnetic diagnostics tools. We have 20 years experience improving real world situations with our Technology Injection approach.
