| GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
Analysis
Modeling and Programming Sciences, Inc. (AMPS) was incorporated
in California, USA on August 17, 1999. Operating as a small
business, AMPS offers structural analysis, design and programming
services for the aviation industry. We are structured and
managed to provide maximum program cost effectiveness.
AMPS
received its NAVSEA Seaport-e contract award on 31 May 2005.
Our
mission is to provide the most cost effective, value oriented
and customer responsive organization possible.
Highly
motivated, knowledgeable, experienced and proven staff, in
combination with internally generated procedures produce accurate,
thorough and cost effective solutions, with exceptionally
rapid response times.
Our
analysis and design capabilities cover many aspects, including
finite element analysis, fatigue analysis and dynamic analysis.
Our experience encompasses a wide variety of space, missiles,
military and civilian aircraft, primary and secondary structures,
for both composites and metallic. We also provide training
to client employees.
Our
programming services include software design and deployment
for analysis, project management and databases.
Individually
our staff members have at least 20 years of direct aerospace
experience and many have advanced degrees.
Tracking
project status and content continuously, ensures punctual
achievement of project target objectives. Regular status reports
are generated as required for progress meetings. A high quality
of work and documentation is maintained by a formal peer review
system. The customer is encouraged to participate in the quality
control cycle.
Corporate
experience relevant to the USN
AMPS
has participated in all aspects of structural analysis functions
at North Island since 1999. This included the initiation of
the first improvements to the F/A-18 finite element design
model outside of the OEM and the planning and implementation
of other major programs such as SLAP and CBR+. As such AMPS
has a cooperate knowledge of the structural history, analysis
methods, documentation, specifications and FST practices that
are specific to the F/A-18 that is not generally available
to other contractors.
AMPS
was solely responsible for the design and development of the
entire fine mesh models developed specifically for the SLAP
Phase 1 program.
AMPS
has also developed a number of tools specific to the F/A-18
program that enhances the productivity of its engineers
and will be used to support the SLEP effort. One such tool
is FatAllow that simplifies the execution of OEM codes SPECGEN
and CI89. AMPS, Inc. is able to insert alternate models
and spectra into these codes. This ability is particularly
important to the support of FMS aircraft. Another example
is software developed by AMPS, Inc. for computing stress
concentrations in accordance with F/A-18 procedures, an
important component of all fatigue analyses. This software
ensures compliance with Program Standards and enhances productivity
of the analyst.
Additionally
AMPS has been at the forefront of program management database
generation for several large engineering projects for the
F/A-18 FST. This includes task like tracking database, earned
value project performance metrics, and FT01 teardown database
in support of aircraft life assessment. |
