Abstract	SAIC has been supporting the Navy at Patuxent River since the 1970’s beginning as Systems Control Technology and established a local office in 1983 providing air vehicle support with emphasis on aerodynamics, simulation and flight controls. Systems Control Technology was acquired by SAIC in 1994. In flight simulation we have been working on simulator development and acceptance, simulation/stimulation technology, real-time and physics based modeling, hardware and software development and IV&V. In flight testing we provide planning, execution and data analysis support with emphasis on systems identification. In flight controls we provided support for control system testing and development including UAVs, classical and modern control theory,software IV&V, specification compliance and handling qualities. We have a standard architecture for our control systems that is used in all of our UAV design efforts. Examples of our programs include simulation support for the F-18, V-22, S-3, C-130, and AH-1W. Blade element modeling for the AH-1W, CH-53, UH-1N, CH-47F andSH-60R/S. Trainer model development for the AH-1W, F-14A/B, CH-53E, UH-1N, C-130H2/T, CH-47F and SH-60R. We have provided flight control hardware support for the SAFCS, S-3, V-22, F-18 and EA-6B. In the area of UAVs we have supported SAIC fixed and rotary wing aircraft, Hunter and Pioneer. We have been systems developer for the specialized simulation systems SIMES and IDEAS. The special instrumentation systems (SIMES)was designed to measure simulator cueing systems and their fidelity including the motion system, cockpit controls and visual system. The Integrated Data Evaluation and Analysis System (IDEAS) is a “High-End” data analysis and simulation tool featuring an expert system, data archiving, data calibration and systems identification.
