C5ISR and Tactical Communications

CFT provides critical C5ISR support to both the US Air Force and the US Navy.
Air Force: Mission Capabilities Architecture and Analysis Team (MCA2T)
As a valuable component of the Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) Tactical Data Links (TDLs) Enterprise Division (ACC/A5J), Compendium Federal Technology (CFT) Missions Capability Analysis Team (MCAT) is comprised of uniquely qualified subject matter experts in USAF and Joint services operations, operational planning, scenario generation and operational relevance benefit analysis. The CFT team’s experience is best exhibited through their ongoing and previous execution of US Air Force and Joint Services extensive operational analysis, operational scenario generation, mission modeling, communications and networking analysis.
NAVSEA 05 Warfare and C5I Systems
CFT has provided support in the development, fielding and integration of SEA 05 Warfare and C5I systems into the U.S. Navy‘s deployed and future warships. Working directly with SEA 05 personnel, our staff currently supports the automated test and analysis team as well as EMI/SRF.

Engineering Services

CFT has wide breadth and depth of engineering capabilities. Our staff provide traditional engineering services such as design and development support for Naval Surface Vessels.
As well, we engage in emerging technologies such as:
  • Additive Manufacturing;
  • Laser Surveying; and
  • Virtual Reality.
Naval Surface vessels

Engineering Support Services: LPD 17 and LX[R] Class Ships

Virtual and Augmented Reality Training Solutions

CFT creates and integrates virtual classroom and e-Learning products into your training curriculum.
LASER SURVEYING and "BIG DATA"
CFT professionals provide a complete range of services for planning and executing Laser Surveying and Scanning projects.  The first step in digital model creation for reverse engineering involves the use of 3D Laser Scanning of aircraft systems and facilities including exterior, interior compartments, equipment racks, wiring and modular electronics. The use cases include part visualization, personnel training and VR or AR walkthroughs. The Point Cloud for the use cases often includes millions or even billions of points of data. Our team has cultivated an expertise in utilizing such "Big Data" in practical solutions for our clients.
Models for 3D Printing
3D printings of models at 1:1 scale precisely duplicate the original object.
Point Cloud Integrated with Photographs
Laser surveys points are colorized from the photographs.
Point Cloud Registration
Several scans from multiple angles are aligned together to create a single point cloud containing millions or even billions of discrete data points.
Laser Surveying for Facilities
OEM equipment models can be inserted into a facility point cloud to evaluate form/fit compatibility during  project planning.
