JHNA's Systems Integration and Test

JHNA’s core competency in Systems Integration and Test derives from staff support of client efforts to perform real-time integration in Systems Integration Laboratories (SILs) and support verification and validation of Airworthiness requirements. By supporting these efforts, JHNA has experienced staff capable of performing tests and evaluations in SILs, test ranges, and during major warfighting events and experiments.

Real-Time Systems Integration

As research and development matures, the government customers are interested in integrating technology onto platforms at the earliest opportunity.  This integration may be virtual to start progressing to hardware and flight testing.  JHNA’s strong digital engineering expertise aids the virtual modelling and simulation efforts to initially assess the technology.  Our flight test staff then takes the hardware and develops flight test scenarios and use cases to provide data to validate and verify the models.  Our test team understands the verification and validation steps to improve the accuracy of system models.

Test and Evaluation

Our government customers require annual experimentation events to showcase Human Machine Interface robotics.  JHNA provides test expertise (test planning, test plan authorship, test data analysis, and test report writing) to execute the demonstrations.  Our staff has extensive knowledge of flight test operations and planning covering performance, survivability and electronic warfare, and unmanned systems evaluation in operational and development environments.

Airworthiness

Government development efforts result in integration onto a variety of platforms (fixed and rotary wing) or conduct modifications or development of aircraft.  JHNA is well versed in government airworthiness requirements and the integration of airworthiness testing in overall development.  We provide background material to develop Test and Evaluation Master Plans to include airworthiness requirements.  The staff is well versed in building the briefings required to review staffs.

Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE)

MBSE represents both a current and growing area of expertise within JHNA. JHNA has engineers skilled in numerous MBSE tools and methods at all levels starting with entry and leading to seasoned professionals. The JHNA approach to this technology is to combine MBSE tool training with expertise in the domain of application. JHNA believes this approach separates us from the competition by having a base of staff knowledgeable in both MBSE tools and how best to apply them based on domain knowledge. Domain knowledge is not easy to acquire and maintain. JHNA has hiring and retention practices to ensure this high level of MBSE expertise is available for clients needing to apply MBSE techniques for their business and technical developments.

JHNA's digital engineering METHODS process

In the early stages of systems engineering, our work centers around clarifying the end user’s needs and problems, capturing the goals the system is intended to support, and then measuring and evaluating the system's effectiveness in supporting these goals.

Our JHNA consultants do this by documenting the required system functionality, interfaces, physical and performance characteristics linked directly to the goals, and any effectiveness measures documented in our modeling environment. We then capture alternative system solutions by organizing the preliminary system design into modeling components that satisfy the modeled system requirements. This provides a digital environment to compare and contrast solutions that optimize the design and maximize the stated effective measures.

Characteristic of our careful and diligent work, our model based engineering environment maintains traceability from the system goals to the system and component requirements. It is during the system integration and test process, that the verified components are integrated into the system. System test cases are developed and digitally documented to verify the system requirements are satisfied.

The end result is a disciplined system engineering process coupled with digital engineering rigor that produces a well-documented and traceable balanced system solution that satisfies our stakeholder needs.  

On-going Support

During the operations and support phase, our JHNA consultants continue to fine tune solutions. We develop fielding plans, assist with system upgrades, develop training programs that optimize system use, and facilitate hardware and software training and integration.

JHNA’s end-to-end system development support ensures the system stays responsive to warfighter needs and within the realm of engineering capability.
