Lockheed-Martin

Lanier Automated Systems worked with Lockheed Martin Corporation’s Transportation and Security Systems division implementing the Automated Flight Service Specialist [AFSS] Flight Services for the 21st Century [FS21] system for the Federal Aviation Administration. FS21 automates the flight planning, flight plan filing, weather briefing, en-route flight advisory, and emergency services of the current AFSS facilities, while consolidating the existing 58 sites nationwide to 20, including 3 data centers/hubs. Tasking on FS21 includes several disciplines, primarily involving writing simulation software to emulate the eleven external systems with which FS21 interfaces. Software development for FS21 is primarily Java-based, utilizing Sun’s Java Messaging Service [JMS] and Java Data Objects [JDO], clustered MS-SQL Server instances, Web, PDA and thick-client user interfaces, and is implemented under a combined Windows- and Linux-based hardware architecture over a wide area network [WAN] encompassing nearly 1000 workstations.

Lanier Automated Systems provided software engineering support in a CMMI Level 3 environment to CACI in support of the Integrated Budget Documentation and Execution System (IDECS) system for the US Air Force. USAF IDECS IDECS is a wide area network client/server application with a Microsoft SQL Server RDBMS and client software developed in Visual C++. The application employs a portal approach to allow the user to view information budget formulation and execution data at the same time. The task also included the redesign of the database, upgrading from MS SQL Server 6.5 to MS SQL 2000, and implementing data access via XML-generated ADO objects through MS-Internet Information Server.
