Across Air Force, Army, Joint Forces and DHS initiatives, MDS personnel have strived to consistently identify and exploit the possibilities to be found in prudent resource allocation, innovative technology application, and the mobilization of teams which are spirited, highly experienced and dedicated to the work at hand.

As a multi-disciplined engineering firm, MDS offers the in-depth technical expertise and diverse knowledge of military objectives, protocols and environments necessary to ensure the effective, economical design and deployment of both tactical elements and enterprise modernizations. Our engineers have been instrumental in the architectural theorizing, prototyping and subsequent hard-design activities for several of the most visionary armed forces IT/Communications efforts undertaken to date.

This work has included the integration of high-speed, high-capacity communications networks and supportive software applications to meet the Joint long-term vision for a more responsive, agile and versatile fighting force. Corporate and principal based past performance has involved the assessment and application of such methodologies and technologies as: advanced technology IP networking, SOA based IT infrastructures, .Net Framework and UNIX/Linux based environments, and a host of specialized hardware/software components.

Solutions

MDS consultants have acted in technical or managerial capacities on projects related to programs such as:

           US Army CECOM, WIN-T C4ISR (Architecture)
           NASA, TRMM Satellite Data Ground System (SW Development)
           DHS, US-VISIT (Architecture/Engineering/Systems Integration)
           FAA, Telecommunications Infrastructure. (Architecture)
           DoD DISA, Contract Mgmt System (SW Development/Op Support)
           UK Ministry of Defense, SKY-net 5 Mgmt. Segment Design
           DHHS/AHCPR (SW Development/Ops Support)

On each of these missions, MDS engineers have strived to support our clients in the quest to successfully manage the complexity and costs of their IT infrastructures. Be it scientific/algorithmic software integration, enterprise business integration or legacy systems reverse engineering we have attempted to understand the intricate relationships between science/research information systems, business processes, facilities, and the people involved to the degree necessary to secure the effort's ultimate fulfillment. Our approach is based on the premise that systems integration methodology can be most effectively applied when the various elements in a business enterprise are viewed and defined iteratively, that is, critically reviewed, prototyped, balanced, and in turn re-applied to the schema. Only with such adherence to process and detail can truly systemic environments and applications be realized.

Our engineers are uniquely qualified in an array of current analysis tools, languages, and database technologies, as well as various platforms including MS .NET, mainframe, UNIX, and Microsoft. MDS is currently developing browser-based software under the .NET object methodology, using related programming tools and the SQL RDBMS.
