CASS Product Verification/Evaluation Facility
Lakehurst, NJ
The Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) Product Verification/Evaluation Facility provides the means to perform single site testing on the CASS hardware and associated Test Program Sets (TPS). It contains the resources to perform RDT&E, TECHEVAL and OPEVAL testing on all aspects of the CASS development, including lifecycle and P3 testing. The facility combines the Class Desk, Test Engineer, Development Contractor and Military User into a cohesive team focused on the development of the various assets of CASS. The CASS Software Support Activity (SSA) has achieved a Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model (SEI CMM) rating.
Computer Based Image and Signal Processing Analysis Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
This facility is dedicated to image processing and signal processing as related to the design and implementation of measurement systems that support research and development. At its core is a supercomputer capable of 200 million 64-bit floating-point operations per second. This facility has unique peripherals. They include a one gigabyte per second Local Area Network which links the computer to high performance graphics workstations for visualization; a 14.4 million byte per second, digital, video tape recorder for the importing and digitization of images; and a million byte per second analog-to-digital converter for the digitization of analog data.
Electric Modeling Laboratory
Lakehurst, NJ
Microprocessor boards are tested through the use of ROM emulation software. A fault dictionary is generated for each type of board tested and is maintained as new faults are encountered. Fault analysis allows designers to track faults and components that may need repair or replacement during the unit’s life cycle
Experimental Explosive Pressing Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
This facility supports R&D; press loading for various warhead configurations including conventional warheads and those in early concept phase incorporating new explosive formulations. The facility houses a computer controlled 190 ton press and a 420 ton press, an explosion proof electrical oven, and pressing support equipment such as hydraulic and vacuum systems. The 190-ton press supports double-acting press loading of conventional and other novel explosives up to 105 mm in diameter for warheads. The 420-ton press can press warheads up to 155 mm in diameter. The computer control capability provides accurate control, reading and recording of all pressing parameters, such as pressure, pressing cycles, vacuum, ram speed, and temperature to provide optimal procedures for maximum performances of explosive formulations. This facility is operated remotely thus providing safe, cost effective, and environmentally friendly pressing operations.
Instrumentation and Measurement System Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
This suite of collocated facilities supports armament research, development, evaluation and manufacturing by addressing the needs of instrumentation and measurement systems. These instrumentation and measurement systems can be used for research, design and development across a broad spectrum of disciplines including:
Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
Equipment utilized in support of this expertise include a variety of high end CAD programs, High Speed CNC machining and programming, Laser and Probe scanning for Reverse Engineering and inspection, Stereolithography modeling and Quick Cast casting. The mixture of equipment and technical capabilities provides the foundation for delivering quality products on a repeated basis.
Software Test Laboratory (STL)
Lakehurst, NJ
STL becomes involved in programs to ensure that Government software standards are adhered to, that the operational requirements of systems are being met by the software, and that the safety of personnel and equipment is not compromised.
