GBL Systems Corporation
was formed in June of 1990 based on the founders’ extensive development experience
with real-time executives and operating systems for the Navy’s F-14D program. Since its inception, GBL
has provided systems and technology services in support of the United States Navy and several defense prime
contractors at the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Weapons Division at Point Mugu,
California and Long Island, New York.
In
support of the company’s core business, GBL provides
software and systems design at their west coast headquarters for real-time embedded systems on the
F-18, S-3, and
EA-6B aircraft platforms. Within the last few years, GBL has expanded with
East Coast Operations
supporting Lockheed Martin on the D5 Backfit Navigation Subsystem Development program.
GBL’s expertise remains centered in the avionics domain with an emphasis
on systems and software development. The service areas we offer stem from
our strength in computer architecture and operating systems that have
enabled the company to take a leading role in the system/software requirements definition and software design
efforts on a majority of the subsystems integrated onto the F-14 aircraft. GBL’s
expertise in military
software connectivity has enabled the company to extend its role into the definition of avionics systems architecture and
subsystem interfaces. GBL also offers other professional
services
to its customers, including project management, financial planning and
analysis, accounting and auditing, and strategic business planning
services.
Past performance has earned GBL extremely high marks in customer
satisfaction and reliability. GBL has developed a highly regarded reputation as an integration and trouble-shooting house,
resulting in assignments across multiple aircraft platforms and avionics subsystems ranging from software implementation
of crucial communications & control functionality to problem investigations the Navy has deemed
"un-resolvable". Additional services have included development of test support software (subsystem
simulators/emulators and automated test drivers), feasibility studies and analysis of flight test data.
Previous projects included the baseline F-14B Upgrade conversion program
followed by the integration of an Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) subsystem, a Control & Display Navigation Unit (CDNU)
subsystem, and the Joint Direct Attack Munitions
(JDAM), a GPS guided weapon. The JDAM project had an aggressive schedule
in which the first weapon drop was accomplished within an 18-month period after system conception.
Ongoing projects in clude developing
artificial intelligent 'agent' based combat decision support aids
for the EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, software updates for
EA-6B 1553 bus problem resolution, and
providing consultation services in support of the S-3 aircraft LANTERN
FLIR integration. GBL is providing systems engineering,
requirements definition, and software integration support for the
Interoperability Test and Evaluation Capability (InterTEC) project. GBL
has joined the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) Small Business Innovative
Research (SBIR) program to evolve automated test capabilities of
agent-based distributed (network-centric) systems.
