Applied Dynamics International Selected as a Partner for Army's Future Combat System Program.ANN ARBOR Ann Arbor, city (1990 pop. 109,592), seat of Washtenaw co., S Mich., on the Huron River; inc. 1851. It is a research and educational center, with a large number of government and industrial research and development firms, many in high-technology fields such as , Mich. -- Applied Dynamics International (ADI) today announced they have been selected as a partner to BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. for the Army's Future Combat System (FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) program.

A mark (´) indicating: a. that a vowel is close or tense, as é in French été. b. that a vowel or syllable has a high or rising pitch, as in Chinese or Ancient Greek. c. ]"It is an honor to be selected as a partner to BAE Systems for the Army's Future Combat System program," said Melissa Wright, president of ADI. "The highly-distributed, highly-networked architecture of today's military vehicles Military vehicles include all land combat and transportation vehicles, excluding rail-based, which are designed for or are in significant use by military forces. See also list of armoured fighting vehicles. is resulting in an increasingly challenging integration problem. Aerospace and defense programs demand tools that effectively reduce the effort required to perform system integration. On the other hand, these programs require tools with an open architecture to guarantee interoperability and compatibility with existing and future technologies. We've spent decades working closely with aerospace and defense teams to develop a system integration framework designed specifically to meet these needs and we're pleased that the Army has recognized the value our technology can bring to the Future Combat System program." E[acute accent]System integration and real-time simulation will be an important part of the Army's FCS program. As each member of the FCS Family-of-Systems (FoS) progresses through development and demonstration, a System Integration Lab (SIL See safety integrity level. 1. SIL - "SIL - A Simulation Language", N. Houbak, LNCS 426, Springer 1990. 2. SIL - SNOBOL Implementation Language. Intermediate language forming a virtual machine for the implementation of portable interpreters. ) will be used to test and evaluate the battlefield node. This cutting-edge approach to aerospace and defense product development significantly reduces development cost and program risk. As each node of the FCS FoS approaches completion it will be integrated with other battlefield nodes in a System-of-Systems Integration Lab (SoSIL) to ensure interoperability and reliability. E[acute accent]Today, advanced SIL facilities use ADI's ADvantage Framework to provide a field-proven, real-time simulation backbone offering scalability, reliability, and a large user base. In addition, ADI offers services to help commission and operate SIL facilities. During the first weeks or months in the life of a SIL facility, experienced resources are in very high demand. To help keep project development schedules on track, ADI provides highly-skilled and experienced real-time simulation experts on-site. E[acute accent]ADI's ADvantage Simulation Framework played a key role in BAE Systems' development of the NLOS-C NLOS-C Non-Line of Sight - Cannon (US Army) demonstrator dem·on·stra·tor n. 1.

BAE Systems designed and fielded the NLOS-C demonstrator in just six months and fired the 1000th test round in April 2005. Prior to the FCS program, ADI was recognized with a Supplier of the Year award by United Defense for their contribution to the Army's Crusader program. E[acute accent]About ADI E[acute accent]Applied Dynamics International, is a pioneer in the development, manufacture, and application of simulation and control system technology for 47 years. ADI is a supplier of advanced embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. hardware and software development tools for the aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics and other related industries.
