Core Capabilities
The Advanced Engineering Systems business area is focused on developing software solutions for the most complex systems in the world. With experienced staff, MATRIC has expertise in data mining, data fusion, and critical control system software. These individuals have a significant track record for developing the architectures and programs for the space shuttle, International Space Station, nuclear industry, and defense systems. Contributions by MATRIC staff have significantly influenced the way critical control software is both developed and utilized. Core competencies are summarized as follows:
Data Mining
Development of data mining software to search large databases efficiently to solve technically relevant research problems (e.g., identification of terrorists or weapons of mass destruction)
Data Fusion
Development of software for data fusion to transform data into usable information (e.g., control displays for spacecraft that synthesize data channels from thousands of sensors)
Critical Control Software
Development of critical control software that operates the most complex systems in the world (e.g., guidance, navigation, and control software onboard the International Space Station)
Strategic Programs
- Support for the assurance of software developed by NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense
- Development of software tools that assess the quality and safety of other software systems
- Support for the development of technology to find terrorists in large data sets for the U.S. Department of Justice
- Development of display software for U.S. Department of Defense weapons platforms
