Integration, Test and Evaluation

Millennium has broad experience vertically and horizontally integrating a variety of large scale systems, including the integration of components and subsystems into a vertical system and horizontal integration in terms of agencies and partners that provide a larger capability. The Company performs interoperability and interface studies and recommends solutions in programs such Aegis, BMD and the Navy’s US/Japan Joint Cooperative Development Program. Millennium’s integration experts provide system engineering analysis, reviews, studies, documentation and recommendations related to the development, interoperability, integration analysis, operations, sustainment and disposal of major systems. Millennium provides development support for the creation of training materials, operational doctrine and techniques. The Company advises its customers on ship and battle force global connectivity. Millennium conducts Human Systems Integration analyses, considering human factors, graphical user interface and controls, training and related tools or systems. In addition, Millennium engineers integrate component, and spacecraft subsystems to system level acceptance tests, range and launch vehicle integration and check-out of a spacecraft prior to launch on such programs as AFRL’s Tactical Satellite (TACSAT2) and NASA GOES.
The Company conducts end-to-end test and evaluation of satellite, missiles, launch vehicles, sensors, and combat weapon systems, including testbed planning and design, analysis and testing. Millennium is involved with live-fire testing of MDA’s Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense program and throughout all phases of NAVSEA’s ship and weapon system life cycle. Millennium often leverages software tools, including JARSS and MIDCON, to fulfill testing requirements, and the Company’s programmers have in-depth technical knowledge of its customer’s scenarios and modern day simulation programming tools, making Millennium an extremely valuable component of its customers’ testing teams. As the program manager for many of the tests, Millennium plays a central role in coordinating the efforts of multiple contractors and government agencies. Millennium drafts, analyzes, reviews and provides recommendations for tests and thereafter executes tests and trials, indentifying and resolving issues throughout the process. Millennium develops test procedures, integrated test schedules, pre-mission predictions, objectives, test architectures, test interfaces, test software/hardware configuration, and deployment schedules. The Company executes pre-mission operations and live-fire operations, including point and end-to-end testing with major test assets. The testing experts support specified launches, demonstrations, and exercises demonstrating the ability to receive and process real-time ballistic missile tracking data from multiple sensor platforms including space based sensors, sea-based sensors, ground based sensors, and airborne sensors. The Company identifies and defines threat systems, and develops and maintains threat products, vignettes, and scenarios. Millennium develops test target requirements and capabilities.
The Company performs test bed planning and design and provides technical support for the Deputy of Systems Engineering and Integration for MDA, Ballistic Missile Defense System reviews, element-level tabletops, and various MDA working groups. Millennium performs and coordinates international studies and analysis, facilitates international technical interactions, and performs international disclosure reviews.
