Based from their local office in Warren, MI, DCS is the Prime for Contract W56HZV-06-C-L523. DCS provides systems and software engineering services to the Vetronics Technology Area (VTA) to support the concept definition, modeling and simulation, prototyping, evaluation and standardization of crew integration and automation technologies for ground combat systems. This contract was awarded and is managed in Zone 5 (DCS Office in Warren, MI). DCS also provides systems and software engineering services to the Next Generation Software Area to support post deployment software support activities for ground combat systems. DCS supported the development of many simulation and stimulation systems for the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center. DCS followed a structured development methodology to insure the validity of the simulation. To support Army ground combat vehicle science and technology programs DCS supported the development of the TARDEC Embedded Simulation System (ESS). This system was designed to provide a virtual environment for ground combat vehicles that could be utilized to support mixed live/virtual experiments in prototype combat vehicles as well as demonstrate the potential of embedded operator training, mission rehearsal, and battlefield visualization.
Based from their local office in Zone 1 (Harvard, MA), DCS also supported this same Army contract and the TARDEC Program. DCS provided engineering for the design, development, and conduct of warfighter experiments on laboratory crew station simulators and prototype vehicles to collect data to support the design of crew task allocation and man-machine interfaces within combat vehicles. DCS engineers extensively used emulators, prototypes, simulators and stimulators to develop data as a basis for making technical decisions.
