Command Center Support Force
Systems Engineering, Integration, and Configuration Management
United States Strategic Command
(USSTRATCOM)
McCallie was the primary member of the USSTRATCOM Command Center
Support Force (CCSF) contractor team headed by Logicon. The CCSF program
provided C4 systems and software integration and engineering support to
USSTRATCOM’s underground, two-story, Electromagnetic Pulse-hardened command and
control facility. Our support included C4 systems and
subsystems engineering and integration; software engineering; database design,
development,management, and administration; life-cycle systems and software
quality assurance, change control, and configuration management. The CCSF
contract also provided on-site database engineering services in support of the
IDHS, consisting of database design, development, and administration.
This included IDMS/R and Sybase relational database management systems
analysis, management, and administration; and software engineering using C,
C++, and COBOL. Our performance and experience in this early contract
area eventually resulted in our leading roles in CESARCommand Center Operations
and the SETA Command and Control studies and analysis under our SETA prime contract.

SDHS Systems Engineering and Integration
Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA)
McCallie Associates
provided systems engineering, integration, and other technical services to
Harris Corporation in support to the AF Weather Agency, aka Air Force Global Weather
Center (AFGWC). This support included systems engineering design,
drafting, production, fabrication, assembly, quality assurance, documentation,
integration and implementation in support of the Satellite Data Handling System
(SDHS) Facility Development Project.
DMSP Satellite Command &
Control Facility
Systems Engineering and
Integration
1000 Satellite Operations Group
(1000 SOG)
McCallie Associates provided systems engineering and integration
services under contract to Harris Corporation, Government Information Systems
Division, in support of the 1000 SOG, an Air Force Space Command unit. We
supported the facility systems development of the 1000 SOG’s Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Satellite Command and Control Facility
and their Information Management Center. Services included C4
systems analysis and engineering; computer aided design and drafting;
fabrication, production, and assembly: quality assurance, testing, and
documentation; and systems integration and implementation.
Busy Planner And Busy DTUC
Systems Engineering And Software Development
Strategic Air Command (SAC)
Under contract to General Dynamics, McCallie Associates performed
systems, database, and software engineering services for the design,
development, maintenance, and ongoing enhancement of the Strategic War Planning
System (SWPS) Busy Planner and Busy DTUC (Data Transfer Unit Cartridge)
Automated Mission Planning (AMP) systems.
The Busy Planner system, a portable, automated mission planning system used
by Air Force flying units around the world, is designed to run on USAF standard
desktop and laptopPCs in support of B-52G/H, KC-135A/E/R, and B-1B
aircraft. The Busy DTUC, a portable system, provides the capability to
read and write to the DTUCs (air-certified, battery-powered portable memory
modules) that provide navigational data to aircraft and weapon systems.
Busy Planner and Busy DTUC systems and databases are comprisedof approximately
115K lines of code, written in C and C++, with Turbo Vision for screen design,
and Paradox Engine Version 2.0 for the database interface development software.
The Busy Planner and Busy DTUC Systems were both used in the
Persian Gulf War in support of the B-52 mission planning for the Desert Storm
Conflict. They were the only Automated Mission Planning systems used by
the Air Force in support of B-52 bombing missions. Use of these systems
enabled the Air Force to employ its full war-fighting capability by extending
the B-52 weapon systems to their fullest conventional capability.
Automated Mission Planning
Systems Development
Strategic Air Command (SAC)
We provided systems and software engineering services in support of the
following SAC nuclear and conventional automated mission planning systems
development programs, under subcontract to McDonnell Douglas Aerospace
Information Systems:
- Air Force Mission Support System (AFMSS)
- Strategic
Mission Data Preparation System, Phase III (SMDPS III)
- Nuclear
Mission Planning and Preparation Software (NMPPS)
- Conventional
Mission Planning and Preparation Software (CMPPS)
- Enhanced
Deployable Aircraft Planning System (EDAPS)
- Deployable
Aircraft Planning System (DAPS)
These systems, written in FORTRAN, COBOL, C, PL/I, and
Assembly language code and hosted on-site on IBM 3080X and 9370X and MIL-370
VM/SP; and off-site on AMDAHL 5000 MVS and the IBM MIL-370 VM/SP, consisted of
a total of over 1.3 Million lines of code. McCallie developed the AFMSS
software on SUN SPARC UNIX workstations using object-oriented design methodologies
with Ada and Assembler language code. The software interfaced with a
Sybase database of mission data hosted on AMDAHL 5000 MVS and VM. Systems
technologies included the Sybase DBMS, SQL, and Mainframe-to-Workstation links.
Command Center Upgrade Systems
Integration and Engineering
Strategic Air Command (SAC)
Provided systems engineering and technical support to TRW on the SAC
Command Center Upgrade (CCU) Program from the design stages through project
completion, including the Government’s operational test and evaluation.
Our level of involvement included sixteen systems engineers and technicians,
the majority, who performed systems and subsystems assembly, installation,
integration; fiber optic cable installation; AutoCAD engineering applications;
quality assurance; configuration management; and technical documentation.
SWPS WSI Component IV&V Testing
Strategic Air Command (SAC)
Under contract to
General Dynamics, we performed Independent Validation and Verification
(IV&V) testing of SAC’s SWPS Weapons Systems Interface (WSI)
components. The purpose of the IV&V effort was to ensure the
functionality of new WSI units in their ability to read and write data to DTUCs
via the MIL-STD-1553 interface. McCallie Associates designed, developed,
and successfully utilized the SWPS WSI IV&V Test System. The system
(7.5K lines of code) was developed using FORTRAN and C.
SWPS Systems Engineering and
Integration
Strategic Air Command (SAC)
We provided technical services in support of the Strategic
War Planning System under contract to General Dynamics. Services included
system assembly, configuration, test, delivery, and integration of silicon
graphics workstations, desktop computers, operating system, and application
software. We also performed systems analysis and engineering services in
support of other SWPS systems, and provided Novell NetWare local area network
engineering and maintenance.
