Apache Longbow Attack Helicopter Program - Decilog Software Assurance Case Study
Decilog has been engaged to monitor and to review all software issues relating to the Apache Longbow Block III program, to ensure that software meets requirements and to suggest how to resolve any software issues that might arise...
Paladin Fire Control Systems - Decilog Systems Engineering Case Study
Decilog has been engaged for system requirement definition, software implementation, and test and installation support for the Paladin M109A6 self-propelled howitzer. One key challenge in this effort was assisting our client in supporting multiple individual upgrade projects in such a way as to foster cohesive goals and minimize inter-project impacts...
Towed Artillery Digitization Systems - Decilog Systems Engineering Case Study
Decilog supports a Government-led Integrated Product Development Team (IPDT) tasked to digitize the M777 (155mm) and M119 (105mm) towed howitzers. One key challenge was the development of a common system/software architecture that addressed the key differences between the two systems. Decilog provides system and software-level requirements definitions as well as system and software integration testing...
Air-Traffic Control Systems - Decilog Systems Engineering Case Study
Decilog has been engaged for system and architecture design, system implementation, and test and installation support for the radar and IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) tracking software for an international air-traffic control system...
Airborne Radar Systems - Decilog Systems Engineering Case Study
Decilog has been engaged for system and architecture design, system implementation, and test and installation support for the radar and IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) software for LAMPS (Light Airborne Multipurpose System) and similar helicopters...
Development and Testing of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans - Decilog Financial Services Critical Infrastructure Protection Case Study
Following a fire, which destroyed an entire data center facility, but fortunately did not result in any injury or loss of life, a financial firm decided that it needed to update its business continuity and disaster recovery plans, as the current plan was considerably out of date...
Creation of Information Security and Privacy Policy, Standards and Procedures - Decilog Financial Services Cybersecurity Case Study
In order to have an effective cyber security program, it is imperative to have a formal set of information security and privacy policy, standards, and procedures. The policy consists of high level statements as to management's expectations for appropriate behavior by employees, contractors, etc...
Law Enforcement and Military Radar Systems - Decilog Systems Engineering Case Study
Decilog has been engaged for system and architecture design, system implementation, and test and installation support for the radar and IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) software for law enforcement and military customers...
Neural Networks - Muzzle Velocity Prediction - Decilog Software Design and Development Case Study
Decilog was asked to develop software for predicting muzzle velocity for a series of artillery systems, including the Paladin Howitzer. Muzzle velocity prediction is an inherently difficult task because of having to model complex, nonlinear, time-dependent interactions...
Financial Services Research Agenda - Decilog Homeland Security / Financial Services Critical Infrastructure Protection Case Study
The intercommunications among academia, government, and industry with respect to cybersecurity research and development priorities are generally lacking. Consequently the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council (FSSCC) for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security determined that it would create a roadmap for academic research and government funding...
Developing and Implementing Secure Software - Decilog Software Assurance Case Study
Attacks on the application layer of computer systems have become more common and effective. In order to achieve an acceptable level of assurance that applications can withstand attacks, a common approach to designing, developing, testing and implementing secure software is needed...
Implementation of Vendor Management Capabilities - Decilog Supply Chain Risk Management Case Study
There is increasing concern that vendors and service providers increase the risk to customers due to their failure to perform at agreed-upon service levels or unexpectedly terminating service agreements. In order to reduce such risks, it is necessary to perform due diligence in regard to the risk exposure resulting from such third-party relationships...
Year 2000 (Y2K) Contingency Planning - Decilog Critical Infrastructure Protection Case Study
In the late 1990s, there was considerable concern that computer software could not handle the date change from 1999 to 2000 correctly. The testing of a number of software products and custom-built software verified that this was a serious issue and that, if not remediated, serious and even catastrophic failures might ensue...
