F-16

ATAC F-16 avionics expertise involves engineers who have a minimum of ten years experience working directly with the systems and algorithms that make up the avionics suite. While an employee at Lockheed, ATAC’s president was the ECM Pod element manager for the F-16 and was responsible for all RF compatibly testing and analysis of the ALQ-131, ALQ-184, ALQ-165 (ASPJ), and ALQ-178 (RAPPORT) systems. He designed the initial RFC interface for the Korean Fighter Implementation of the ASPJ. ECM Systems engineers must analyze and test the software and hardware designs of a variety of RF systems to insure suitable concurrent operation with the ECM systems. This requires a solid understanding of the RF hardware, firmware and control software in these systems in addition to understanding the ECM systems capabilities. Three other ATAC engineers have experience integrating, testing, refining and developing systems on the F-16 including HARM Targeting, Fire Control Radar, LANTIRN, AMRAAM, HARM, JSOW, JASSM, WCMD and special projects. One of our engineers wrote the majority of the interface between the HTS system and the F-16 while another acted as the chief engineer on behalf of the Government for many detailed integration efforts at Edwards AFB.

A-10

ATAC is the analysis contractor for all Air Force Material Command testing of the A-10 avionic suite. This testing has been the responsibility of the 40th FTS at Eglin for three years. ATAC engineers actively analyze the avionic suite components at the algorithm and hardware level. The systems integrator for the latest avionics suite was Charles Stark Draper Labs. The software engineering manager for this 10-year development effort relocated to Eglin and is an ATAC employee. ATAC’s lead engineer has 15 years experience working for Lockheed and Draper Labs. ATAC engineers possess hardware and software expertise to the design level on all A-10 avionic systems.

F-15

Two ATAC engineers have integrated and performed weapon system and avionics data analysis for the F-15 and are completely familiar with the F15A/B/C/D MSIP and the F15E A/A aircraft. As Prime Contractors and ATAC employees, they have over twenty five years combined experience. Our team has been responsible for integrating or evaluating the APG-63, APG-70, AMRAAM and TEWS systems integration and performance both real time and post flight. In addition, ATAC engineers helped determine the bus parameter instrumentation requirements for various F-15 programs including AMRAAM, TEWS, EGI, and JTIDS. One ATAC analyst was an Air Force Superintendent on the F-15 and is an expert in all F-15 systems from a maintainer’s standpoint. As a result of their previous and ongoing experience, ATAC engineers possess the hardware and software design level experience for the majority of the F-15 aircraft.
