AMT Systems Engineering - Avionics and Aviation Software Product Development

AVIATION

AMT got its start in transportation, and our special focus is aviation. Our experience and expertise includes software development for on-board avionics, ground-based database and instrumentation systems, and training systems. Example projects and capabilities include:

Reverse engineering of existing software to produce formal development, verification, and traceability documentation compliant with RTCA/DO-178B
Formal new product development processes to support FAA certification (RTCA/DO-178B)
Embedded and desktop aviation databases (RTCA/DO-200A, ETMS, geographic/terrain, navigation, airport databases)
Distributed client/server database systems and data mining algorithms
Airport surface movement analyses
Human interfaces, map displays, and route analyses
GPS and inertial sensor integration
Temperature control equipment for curing composite materials used in aircraft repair
Embedded real-time operating systems, device drivers, and sensor interfaces
Data communication (e.g., ARINC 429)
Airport weather monitoring systems
Verification/test management software and equipment

Clients include:

L-3 Communications
Goodrich Aerospace
Honeywell
U.S. Air Force (USAF)
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: Post-Operations Evaluation Tool (POET)

(click image to enlarge)

Sponsors:	Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Partners:	Cognitive Systems Engineering, Metron
Challenge:	The world's airspace is crowded, with thousands of commercial airline flights daily in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) alone. In order to maintain efficiency and safety, the FAA and commercial airlines must make effective use of the massive amounts of data collected by the Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) from each flight. An information system was needed to allow this data to be used to support analyses of congestion and inefficiency problems.
Solution:	The Post-Operations Evaluation Tool (POET) is a client-server database application. The database server, installed at the FAA Command Center in Washington DC, collects more than a gigabyte of data daily, and enables multiple, remote users to have concurrent access to the data. The client-server application has been designed to give FAA traffic managers and airline operations control staff feedback about the performances of flights in the National Airspace System. It provides an interface to access and view data about filed and actual flight routes of flight, as well as quantitative data about planned and actual departure times, air times, fuel consumption, and arrival times. It has a graphical, user-friendly functionality that allows analysts to access, filter, and visualize flight information easily. POET also allows the user access to a collection of data mining and querying tools. These tools assisting in the recognition of patterns and trends within the data.
