Aegis is a total weapon system, from detection to kill.  The heart of the system is an advanced, automatic detect and track, multi-function phased-array radar, the AN/SPY-1.  This high-powered radar is able to perform search, track and missile guidance functions simultaneously with a track capacity of over 100 targets.

Aegis provides United States Navy warships with state-of-the-art air defense capabilities in a variety of theaters.  The Aegis Combat System (ACS) is highly integrated and capable of simultaneous warfare on several fronts - air, surface, subsurface, and strike.  The ACS is the world's most advanced shipboard system for anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense.

SSTi provides ACS requirements analysis, software engineering, testing, performance assessment, and modeling to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) and to Lockheed Martin, Moorestown, NJ.  SSTi engineers perform the following key roles in support of the ACS, Weapon Control System (WCS), Fire Control (Terminal Guidance) System (FCS), Aegis Combat Training System (ACTS), and middleware (ATOE) software:
 




 

  • System Engineering
  • Computer Program Development
  • Performance Assessment
  • Unit and System level testing
  • Computer Program Design
  • Modeling and Visualization tool Development


 

SSTi performs Aegis Combat System Interface Simulator (ACSIS) requirements analysis, software engineering, testing, performance assessment to the US and other navies.  ACSIS is a real-time, multi-mission simulation system for testing of the ACS, and for the training of Navy operators.

SSTi has been involved continuously with the development and maintenance of the ACS and simulation programs since 1989.  SSTi is proud to have contributed to the success of this vital program.
