ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓAPP’s systems engineering and integration expertise led to reimagined launch range operations for U.S. Air Force Space Command, improving public safety and helping the client save tens of millions of dollars in annual costs.
Faced with an aging infrastructure, rising costs, and shifting priorities, U.S. Air Force Space Command chose ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓAPP to help reconfigure launch range operations and maintain critical infrastructure while improving safety and security.
Our nation’s space and missile launch ranges host a wide range of operations, including launching satellites used for global positioning systems, weather monitoring, communications, national defense, and intelligence. Since some of these ranges have flight paths near major cities, it’s critical to keep public safety top-of-mind.
To gain a clear view of the present-day condition of the ranges, ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓAPP identified all requirements, interfaces, drawings, risks, systems engineering and integration processes, and deficiencies. The firm’s mission engineering approach ensured a methodical, risk-based assessment.
As a part of this approach, the team:
Our systems engineering and integration team made major improvements in managing assets, cutting costs, and fixing vulnerabilities. We also supplied the client with new tools that allowed them to easily visualize and amplify how different investments and range upgrades will improve mission performance, and we created a plan to avoid technology obsolescence.
The results were dramatic. ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓAPP delivered original insights for enhanced mission operations and prioritized spending. The improvements generated tens of millions of dollars in annual cost savings while enhancing security, risk assessment, and third-party validation.
