Our Proven Solutions

Statistical Lifespan Analysis Platform (SLAP)

Predictive tools to ensure confidence in the lifespan and quality of your products!

How long is my new product or piece of equipment going to last? How much confidence can I have that it will function according to specifications during its lifecycle? What sort of failures can I expect, and how can I prevent them?

These are questions that Intersect Engineering can answer for you. With our SLAP solution, we provide predictive confidence for a variety of products and services-from satellites to dishwashers, cameras to aircraft-and do so with complete assurance that your real time or near real time data collection and analysis will give you total confidence your product will perform as expected, over the time period for which you have planned.

The SLAP real time and Better Than Real Time^© (BTRT^©) interfaces do real time processing with a One-In-One Processed (OIOP) mode, in addition to a faster than real time mode. That means it processes in Fast mode with accumulated data, i.e. Burst mode. BTRT^© can play at 2:1 to 16:1 speed, allowing your operators to focus attention elsewhere between bursts. SLAP can also compute in slower than real time with recorded data.

When thinking flexibility and customization, think Intersect! We can provide systems from single PCs to entire distributed networks. We will develop new systems or modify our existing systems to custom-fit your requirements. We can also provide complete hardware and network installations. With Intersect, you get the full system customized to your unique needs. Software is written in C, C++, Java, ADA, JOVIAL, Visual Basic, .NET languages or as per your requirements.

With SLAP, we process the following messaging protocols:

SLAP is the basis of our real-time MetOp and POES equipment monitoring systems.

MetOp/POES

We designed, developed and continue to maintain ground segment and check out facility equipment for the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Meterological Operational Satellite (MetOp) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) systems. Intersect personnel are part of the launch team for the MetOp 2006 satellite launch.

Space Surveillance and Missile Warning Systems

We have experienced engineers in the AN/FPS-85 deep space surveillance system, the GEODSS optical based space surveillance system and the PAVEPAWS missile warning systems. Specifically, we are Subject Matter Expert engineers on the AN/FPS-85 system, having provided the software upgrades and written Weapon System Effectiveness and Readiness (WSER) reports. Additionally, Intersect's President designed and implemented the executive architecture for the latest GEODSS implementation (message-based.)

Telemetry Processors

We have reusable components which fit together to efficiently and economically solve your needs. High-speed to multiple streams simultaneously, data decommutation to integrity analysis through data packaging for subsequent processing, we build great products with excellent look-and-feel presentation to the user.

Command and Control Systems

From mainframe-based, high-order language systems with integrated database support to hardware- or microprocessor-based assembly language controllers, we have the talent necessary to implement your real-time systems rapidly and reliably, along with comprehensive documentation and guaranteed support.

Device Drivers and Code Bindings

 We understand hardware and how to control it in real time. Detailed fault detection and fault isolation techniques within the driver and interface code are always included.

Rapid Development of Functional Systems

Whether your requirements are for complicated mathematical functions, statistical analysis of equipment performance, decommutation of bundled data, device command and control or legacy equipment interfacing, we provide your custom needs-even within challenging schedules.

Complex Graphical Displays

Intersect's lastest component, SuperGrapher brings graphical diagnostic tools to the cutting edge enabling graphs with up to 7 elements on the same or different axis and up to one million data points per tracing. The number of data points per graph is user specified for added flexibility. In addition, SuperGrapher allows for elements from different runs to be synchronized and overlapped and will plot values, column scene removed and undersampled traces as commanded while preserving in/out tolerance color choices. Axis can be overlapped/de-overlapped; views can be zoomed and scrolled; and graphs can be converted to a printer friendly version with data tags.
