ADepth and Breadth

A.1Research and Development (Mission Area 3.1)


Team MES is involved in Research and Development (R&D) to achieve aircraft performance improvement by investigating in-flight twist of re-configurable rotor blades to achieve new levels of efficiency for rotary wing aircraft. The goal of this NAVAIR contract is to increase the knowledge and understanding of available technologies to improve aircraft performance and warfighting capabilities.

MES is supporting marine scientists and researchers to conduct fundamental research, scientific study and experimentation to advance scientific discoveries at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Through its R&D efforts on the ASSET program, Team MES has fostered the development of sol-gel derived hybrid coatings on aircraft aluminum alloys. These hybrid coatings improve corrosion resistance while replacing potentially hazardous chromate-based coatings. Currently, Team MES has developed sensor applications like sense and respond systems and condition-based monitoring that support reliability, maintainability, and availability (RM&A).

A.2Engineering, Systems Engineering and Process Engineering Support (Mission Area 3.2)


MES designed and developed two multi-million dollar Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Level-6 certified Beech TC-12B “King Air 200” Flight Training Devices (FTDs). MES upgraded the surface Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Team Tactics Trainer Device 14A12(J) (500K lines of code) through a NAVAIR administered Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract to the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF).

To improve mission capability, Team MES developed unique forecasting techniques for NAVAIR based on Weibull probabilistic distribution that predict failure rates for low-demand parts to improve inventory planning and acquisition. Reverse engineering and technology insertion processes are being employed to support weapon system sustainment.

Team MES also provides the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center upgrades to military versions of commercial aircraft, drawing upon its experience with the VC-25 (Air Force One), E-4, T-43 and KC-10 aircraft, to add capability, and increase operability and sustainability.

In support of Office of Naval Intelligence, SPAWAR and the Defense Intelligence Systems Agency (DISA), Team MES provides joint systems engineering support for the joint defense intelligence support system Joint Program Office (JPO). Team MES supported the systems engineering and the integration of Global Command and Control System – Integrated Imagery and Intelligence (GGCS-I3) and Collection Management Mission Application (CMMA) suite built on J2EE and N-Tier architecture.

Team MES provides engineering support to meet the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) requirement for AV-8B+ Radar Night Attack Weapons System Training (RNAWST) device. The RNAWST allow USMC pilots to train in those unique skills and techniques involved in vertical/short takeoff or landing, basic aircraft control, instrument flight procedures, using air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons modes of the AN/APG-65 radar, night vision goggles, forward looking infrared, the “Litening” Pod for weapons targeting, defensive electronic countermeasures, and normal/degraded/emergency modes for all AV-8B+ radar night attack aircraft systems under day/dusk/night conditions.

Team MES monitors, conducts performance tests, evaluates studies, and prepares test plans for specified Combat Identification (ID) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems to support the Atlantic Test Range (ATR) Distribution Interactive Simulation (RDI). In addition, Team MES services ATR subsystems using modeling and simulation to analyze, evaluate, and implement associated algorithms. These tests are conducted at NAWCAD and other naval installations. Team MES applied structured methodology to generate the logical representation of the associated systems and processes. In its Oklahoma City office, Team MES is creating mathematical models of power, weight, environment cooling, performance, and space allocation models for aircraft systems for USAF aircraft. This data is used to provide information for future planning of aircraft modification.

In support of Navy training, MES has provided modeling, simulation, and simulation support that physically replicate aircraft and ASW environments and associated operational processes. MES leased two TC-12B FTDs to CNATRA to support student pilot flight training operations. These FTDs modeled a synthetic flying environment, simulated the TC-12B flight deck and provided stimulation of avionics displays. MES engineers also supported creation of six new subroutines, modified 150 subroutines, created/modified nine simulation displays and fifteen interfaces in support of the ASW Team Tactics Trainer.

Supporting the Navy, Team MES provided a state-of-the-art solution for the equipment obsolescence of the F-14D Weapon Systems Trainers (WST). The technical approach was an open system architecture that uses Windows, Linux, and UNIX (VxWorks). The program uses commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware wherever possible. Team MES replaced an existing complex host computer system (Encore with 24 CPUs) with five Motorola PowerPC CPUs thus providing more than 50% excess capacity in processing time.
