GBL Systems Corporation was awarded an initial study effort under a Defense Research Associates (DRA) Incorporated sub-contract in conjunction with the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) to define requirements associated with network-centric Electronic Warfare collaborative targeting machine-to-machine communication. The initial study effort was defined to gather information from existing systems and to define a path for future system development and demonstration of a collaborative architecture. It is anticipated that a follow-on contract will be awarded to develop a prototype demonstration system.

GBL Systems Corporation was awarded an initial study task extension under the SeaPort-e contract to define requirements for a tactical target control system standard interface. The initial study effort was defined to gather information from existing Army, Navy, and Air Force target systems and to determine the cooperative relationships and responsibilities of the study group members. It is anticipated that a follow-on contract will be awarded to complete a prototype demonstration using a defined standard interface for future target systems.

GBL Systems Corporation was awarded a Systems Engineering task extension under the SeaPort-e prime contract to define requirements associated with the visualization of non-kinetic weapons in a network-centric battle environment. The task includes modeling and prototype software development based on user inputs and anticipated future requirements.

GBL Systems Corporation joins the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Integrated Product Team (IPT) through our existing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project to explore automated testing of ALQ-218 receiver / processor. GBL will provide system technical engineering expertise to determine necessary interface and tools to enable analysis and verification of ALQ-218 operational performance and to enable streamlined or automated test execution.

GBL Systems Corporation was award 5 year SeaPort-E contract under the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Combined Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP)for Systems Engineering and Software Development support. GBL also provides management support to the NAVAIR program management and technical oversight and advisory roles for the NetCentric System Test Science and Technology Broad Area Announcement program.

GBL Systems Corporation completed a study effort with Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO) through a subcontract relationship to explore systems integration of the LANTIRN Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) pod on the S-3 Viking aircraft. GBL completed the system engineering and software effort to define the necessary interface and tools required to enable software integration and enhanced operational performance of the LANTIRN system on the S-3 Viking Aircraft.

GBL Systems Corporation completed a phase I SBIR contract awarded by the OSD under AFRL oversight to perform applied (6.1 / 6.2) research related to Network-Centric automated test capabilities. This research project served as a basis upon which multi-system collaborative testing can automatically determine test configurations and perform exhaustive test thread execution.

GBL Systems Corporation addressed robust complex systems testing through our Real-time Automated Test Environment (RATE) tool set at the SISPI technology review. The RATE system employs various intelligent agent technologies that enable reactive / adaptive systems to be tested in a controlled networked environment. The presentation was provided to a diverse audience of academia and industry as a way of determining concept viability and to garner DOD sponsor support.

In December 2005 GBL Systems Corporation completed a Phase I contract award under Naval Research Laboratories (NRL) oversight. The task included development of an intelligent agent architecture to support electronic warfare combat decision aids in the EA-18G aircraft. The effort was well received and has led to a follow-on Phase II contract award in August 2006. The program utilizes the Control of Agent Based Systems (CoABS) framework to enable distributed computation in support of the Global Information Grid (GIG) and network-centric warfare concepts with visualization of electronic warfare effectivity and optimization of assets .
