Special Programs
The Special Projects (SP) market segment provides exceptional quality technical expertise for development of operational systems in national strategic programs, excelling in software engineering, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and analysis. Projects in the SP segment are performed primarily in classified environments, utilizing the high-level clearances of our SP technical staff.

Special Programs provides focused integrated solutions to our customers’ most challenging problems in classified environments. Supporting our customers at remote facilities on a daily basis, our staff is able to respond quickly to customer needs and changing priorities, with a “solve-the-hardest-problem” and “get-the-job-done” approach. This methodology has been quite successful, as SP projects have grown and expanded to several new areas since its inception in year 2000. SP projects now boast over 30 human-years of experience in specialized areas.

Our software engineering staff excels in several areas
		CMM SEI Level 3 software development, from requirements definition through code and unit test, through software integration and test, software qualification, and formal acceptance testing
		Development of complex graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for user inputs, real-time updates of data fields, and real-time situational displays
		3-D visualization of system components
		Communications software for real-time distributed simulation systems over local area networks using the .NET framework for TCP and UDP socket environments
		Object-oriented design, analysis, and development methodologies
Our physicists and physical scientists excel in several areas
		Sensor design and characterization for numerical simulation of sensor performance for system test and system integration
		Guidance and control systems
		Modeling and simulation of system dynamics and system performance

As this market segment grows, we continue to recruit highly motivated software engineers with math and physics backgrounds, and physical scientists and engineers with top secret/sensitive compartmented information (TS/SCI) security clearances to work in a fast-paced technical environment on programs of national strategic importance.

Special Projects is composed of several proprietary programs. These projects utilize high-level software development (GUI development, 3-D visualization, distributed processing, and communications software) within a formal software development environment. The projects also utilize high-level theoretical analysis, modeling, simulation, and algorithms development for operational systems.
