CASE STUDY:
Bringing Harmony to Pilots
Challenge
The F-16 program faced a persistent cockpit harmonics issue, impacting pilot comfort and operational effectiveness. Due to tight design constraints, redesign options were limited and costly.
Solution
OST sourced and deployed engineers with prior commercial experience consulting, leveraging their acoustics expertise to develop a tailored solution within existing cockpit constraints that resolved the harmonics problem.
Outcome
The engineers’ solution resolved cockpit harmonics issue without major redesign, enhanced pilot comfort and aircraft usability, delivering an innovative, compliant solution on time and within budget.
CASE STUDY:
Synthetic Environments for Multi-Domain Operations
Challenge
The modern warfighter requires integrated, realistic training environments to increase mission performance. The implementation of a Synthetic Training Environment (STE) requires coordination across multiple Product Managers and Directorates, each with unique technical, logistical, and acquisition demands.
Solution
OST provided critical support for the Army’s STE initiative, integrating a team of senior systems engineers, military analysts, and acquisition experts to advance the development, integration, and sustainment of cutting-edge simulation and training systems through the application of open system design, cloud-based computing, and immersive virtual solutions.
Outcome
The resulting STE improved operational training realism, ensuring interoperability across domains, and accelerating innovation through agile implementation using cloud computing, open architectures, and immersive virtual environments. The delivery and sustainment of a fully integrated, scalable STE ultimately ensures that warfighters are better prepared, training is more effective, and the Army remains resilient and mission-ready in an evolving threat landscape.
