MDS is a multi-disciplined engineering firm offering the in-depth technical expertise and diverse knowledge of military objectives, protocols and environments necessary to ensure the effective, economical design and deployment of both tactical elements and enterprise modernizations. The firm currently supports Air Force and Joint efforts focused on the application of the AFSIM Modeling and Simulation (M&S) framework of sensor (EW/EO-IR, RF) capabilities relevant to Integrated Air Defense Systems; also, Nuclear Command and Control, ICBM Fire/Launch Control, Small (SUAS)/UAV engineering, Satellite/Space Systems, and Directed Energy R&D. Areas of expertise applied include Systems Engineering, R&D/Experimentation, M&S, V&V and senosor/air platform SME based consultation. A Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), MDS has supported DoD Defense programs involved with research, systems design and engineering, and operations across a host of mission objectives. Programs include: ▪ Joint AFSIM based M&S of Contested Areas ▪ AF AFSIM based M&S of ISR/EW Sensor Capabilities ▪ AF AFSPC Wargamming/Exercises Support ▪ AF Small UAS Swarming Analysis ▪ AF Nuclear C3 (NC3) Program/Engineering ▪ US AF, Hi-Alt./Near Space ISR ▪ UK Ministry of Defense, SKY-Net 5 ▪ NASA, TRMM Satellite Data Analysis ▪ US AF, IV&V for Missile System Programs ▪ US AF, Hi-Alt./Near Space ISR ▪ US AF, Space-Based Infrared (SBIRS) ▪ FAA, Telecommunications Infrastructure ▪ DoD DISA, Contract Mgmt System ▪ US Army CECOM, WIN-T C4ISR Our engineers have been instrumental in the architectural theorizing, prototyping and subsequent hard-design activities for several of the most visionary armed forces sensor, weapon systems and communications efforts undertaken to date. This work has included the integration of high-speed, high-capacity communications networks and supportive software applications to meet the Joint long-term vision for a more responsive, agile and versatile fighting force.
