Systems Engineering

Epsilon C5I’s systems engineers design and manage complex engineering projects. We are highly focused on exceeding our customers’ needs by seamlessly managing logistics, team coordination, and work-flow process.

We effectively manage all steps in the project lifecycle, including systems analysis, requirements identification, testing, deployment, maintenance, training, certification and accreditation. We can adapt to either planned or agile project management practices to meet our clients’ needs.

Our systems engineers have supported virtually all U.S. Navy tactical cryptologic systems as well as a number of national, strategic cryptologic systems.

Capabilities include:

• Requirements definition
• CONOPS development

Network Operations

We support the design, installation, integration, and operation of networked systems. Physical network attributes include synchronous, asynchronous, Ethernet, FDDI, twisted pair, fiber optic technologies, broadband Telephone Company (TELCO) (56kb, T1, T3) ATM, and new technology communication environments.

Epsilon C5I applies formal test procedures, test reports, and other test support methodologies to ensure the system satisfies our customers' technical requirements. We perform database management support; network monitoring and statistical analysis support; RF (broadband/baseband) and fiber optic engineering design and installation support; PC/UNIX network support; network control, development, and maintenance; and test equipment operation support.

Operational Support and Training

Epsilon C5I’s subject matter experts are embedded in Navy staffs, systems centers, learning centers of excellence, and have deep knowledge of fleet cryptologic requirements and issues. They maintain tactical and strategic cryptologic systems, develop curricula, provide formal classroom instruction, conduct tailored shipboard training ashore and at-sea, develop computer-based training resources, and offer reachback and contingency support.

Modeling and Simulation

Epsilon Systems’ personnel maintain simulator operability, simulation runs, data recording, disk back up, system failure troubleshooting and repair, corrective maintenance, training and operations manuals, configuration audits, and hardware/software upgrades.

Epsilon Systems also develops and implements configuration control documentation supporting systems operations, maintenance, training and performance monitoring. We install operating systems and provide configuration management for workstations and servers. We research technologies, make recommendations for equipment and software to improve efficiency of the network. This includes installing, testing and supporting the software environment with both COTS (commercial off the shelf) and GOTS (government off the shelf) products. Epsilon Systems also provides LEAN event support as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Epsilon Systems SME simulator staff identified significant improvements for the simulator run process.

Contracts and experience:

• NUWC Division Newport, Code 8221
• Epsilon Systems provides comprehensive engineering, technical and operational support services for the operations and maintenance of the Weapons Analysis Facility (WAF), which consists of weapon simulators, computer systems, and Automated Information Systems (AIS)
