Advanced Systems Engineering Solutions
With its breadth of knowledge and highly skilled staff, KBSI’s interdisciplinary team can provide innovative and quantitative methods to easily focus on both the business and technical needs of all stakeholders, while considering the complete problem, throughout the lifecycle of the process from the gathering of requirements, design and implementation of necessary software, validation, testing, training and support in order to realize a successful system that meet overall requirements.
KBSI’s has already integrated its systems engineering tools with a number of analysis tools such as simulation, VR, ABC, schedule analysis, and total cost of ownership.
A few examples of KBSI’s expertise in this area include, but are not limited to the following efforts.
KBSI’s Transformation in Maintenance and Repair (XFMR) effort for Tinker Air Force Base is targeting key voids needed to dramatically improve the capture of key shop floor events, status, and constraint knowledge; rapidly revise production plans, schedules, and resource requirements forecasts to adapt to changing requirements and the inherent variability of depot sustainment operations; and streamline the information management and communication process between shop floor personnel and production management. KBSI’s Intelligent System for Abstraction and Integration of Instrumentation Hardware (ISAIIH) effort at Edwards AFB is developing a methodology, language and suite of tools to radically re-engineer how instrumentation and flight test engineers perform various design, validation, development, verification, and management of aircraft T&E instrumentation subsystem. This effort provides an unprecedented ability to rapidly and efficiently configure, maintain and operate smart instrumentation networks.
KBSI’s Framework for Adaptive Modeling and Ontology-driven Simulation (FAMOS) effort for the Air Force Research Lab is a hybrid approach that combines ontology and process analysis methods with ontology-driven translation generation techniques. FAMOS employs innovative ontology-driven translation generation methods that facilitates semantic information integration. KBSI’s Framework for Interoperability of Executable Architectures (FIEA) effort for Wright-Patterson AFB is developing a language, a suite of tools and a methodology to facilitate the syntactic and semantic interoperability of DoDAF models and artifacts among diverse vendor-specific tools and applications.
