WHAT WE DO

  • Human Systems Integration

    Our team of human factors engineers and operational subject matter experts works alongside developers and system engineers to ensure the usability, efficiency, and effectiveness of tomorrow’s warfighting systems. We identify and document the needs of the user community and incorporate them into the development and evaluation of Navy and Marine Corps systems. Our capabilities cover the developmental lifecycle, from concept development and requirements definition to testing and evaluation. Our expertise allows us to integrate the domains of human systems integration with one another and also with the overall systems engineering activities of both acquisition programs and research and development efforts.

     

  • Interoperability Engineering

    We apply a team of Navy combat systems and operational experts to solve critical technical, operational and human performance problems that impact the interoperability of naval systems. BCI developed and produced Tactical Information Coordinator Technical Aid, or TIC TECHAID. It is the single operational guide providing the Navy's data link operators concise, validated and current procedures for establishing, operating and troubleshooting operational data links. This group also supports NAVSEA's Strike Force Interoperability (SFI) program in the area of systems certification including the analysis of trouble reports and impacts on operator workload.

     

  • Operational Systems Safety

    Our team of prior military and civilian safety systems experts provide specialized support to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, NAVSEA, PEO LCS and the Navy Weapon System Explosive Safety Review Board (WSESRB). Our team provides operational safety support throughout the entire life-cycle, from development and acquisition to the deployment of ships, aircraft and battle groups, by performing extensive systems safety analysis and applying the Navy’s rigorous safety requirements (NAVSEAINST 8020.6E and MIL-STD-882E). Through detailed systems analysis and full consideration of the operational and personnel aspects of safety related factors, our team provides comprehensive, timely, value-added deliverables and actionable safety-related knowledge to Technical Warrant Holders and other NAVSEA acquisition stakeholders in support of technical decision-making.

     

  • Systems Engineering

    We provide a spectrum of degreed engineers and operational experts to solve difficult engineering problems including missile systems failure analysis, requirements traceability, test planning and analysis, and systems design review. Our senior analysts develop conceptual future naval force level concepts based on BCI developed future global economic and geopolitical forecasts. With a stable of world class expert consultants with experience at the highest levels of government, industry and uniformed military, we provide senior government managers with engineering, organizational and programmatic support.

     

  • Training and Training Systems Support

    BCI’s training and training systems teams provide diverse support to our broad spectrum of customers. BCI provides classroom instructors who, using high fidelity training simulators and simulations developed to replicate real world situations in various areas, support the "Train To Qualify" (T2Q) process to the LCS and LCS Mission Package crews, in addition to developing, delivering, maintaining, and modifying curriculum. BCI also provides assistance related to foreign military training design and schedules and assisting with the acquisition of new international training projects. BCI provides personnel with extensive Navy operational and training expertise to support research psychologists and human factors engineers working numerous research and development projects in pursuit of effective systems design, manning, and training solutions across all naval warfare areas. BCI has provided subject matter experts that developed/taught the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) required to plan and monitor the employment of Maritime IAMD assets and integration with other Theater/Regional Joint IAMD assets.

     

  • Weapon and Combat Systems Engineering

    We support a variety of navy customers with an experienced team of experts who combine detailed unit, systems and subsystems technical knowledge with advanced operational experience and insight leading to operable and functional systems. With understanding of computer programs, systems hardware and operational requirements, this group supports government acquisition managers responsible for sensors, weapons, human computer interfaces and computer programs leading to systems certification and acquisition milestone decisions. Deliverables from this group include test plans, requirements tracing, program schedules, technical briefings, and analytic documentation.
