Computer Systems and Software
Introduction
In line with the increasing presence of electronics, software
and information technology, on board ships and in shore based
facilities of the Navy, the Computer Systems and Software (CSS)
Section has evolved as a versatile service provider. Expertise
of the section ranges from real-time system integration and evaluation
to network design/integration, data base applications and Independent
Verification and Validation (IV&V).
The section's ability to respond to varied and unusual technical
requirements makes it a valuable resource to combat and marine
systems engineering, and administrative units of the Navy. Flexibility
and swift response are key attributes of the CSS
section.
Areas of Expertise
Specific areas of CSS
capabilities include:
- Evaluation of real-time and non-real-time software;
- Definition of software acceptance criteria;
- Analysis, design, development, integration and testing of
software for real-time and expert systems, and data base applications;
- Computer simulations, validation of simulator design, verification
of software development methodology and simulator validation
plans, and evaluation trials of simulators;
- Evaluation, integration, and installation of mission critical
communication systems,
- Computer network design, implementation and maintenance,
- Independent Verification and Validation of software and documentation;
- Assessment of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)
software applications;
- Design, development and evaluation of intranet- and internet-based
systems;
- User training;
- Testing and evaluation of paperless ship and office systems;
- Radar and infrared technology analysis, including audits of
deliverables, verification and evaluation of systems;
- Design, development and testing of vibration isolation mountings
for shipboard computer equipment; and
- Operation of an on-site TEMPEST computing facility for classified
computer data.
