ADI to Be Future Combat System Program Partner

February 19th, 2006

Applied Dynamics International (ADI), Ann Arbor, MI, recently announced that they will be a partner to BAE Systems for the Army’s Future Combat System (FCS) program.

System integration and real-time simulation will be an important part of the Army’s FCS program. As each member of the FCS Family-of-Systems (FoS) progresses through development and demonstration, a System Integration Lab (SIL) will be used to test and evaluate the battlefield node. This cutting-edge approach to aerospace and defense product development significantly reduces development cost and program risk. As each node of the FCS FoS approaches completion it will be integrated with other battlefield nodes in a System-of-Systems Integration Lab (SoSIL) to ensure interoperability and reliability.

BAE Systems will be using ADI’s ADvantage Simulation Framework in their NLOS-C demonstrator, providing real-time simulation capability to reduce technology development schedules. BAE Systems designed and fielded the NLOS-C demonstrator in just six months and fired the 1000th test round in April 2005. Prior to the FCS program, ADI was recognized with a Supplier of the Year award by United Defense for their contribution to the Army’s Crusader program.
