Home Information Culture Careers Contact Tools Ethos At ASSETT, we seek out the most challenging projects and have a history of exceeding expectations Our team members are driven by these challenges. By taking on these incredible tasks, they unlock a new level of potential and achieve the highest personal success Successful programs at ASSETT that were considered impossible by other small businesses include: Products VSSi Improved Velocity Sensing Sonar design capable of significantly outperforming commercial Doppler Velocity Log sonar designs. CBMS ASSETT’s Critical Battery Management System will be the first safety certifiable lithium ion battery charger; a crucial step towards enabling long term energy storage options aboard undersea platforms. A4T The ASSETT Acoustic Array Assessment Tool enables users to predict array performance and enable real-time analysis and updates to overcome faults and failures. Before A4T, this process took days or weeks. Real-Time 3D Beampattern Analysis Tool ASSETT developed a first of its kind tool to visualize in 3D and analyze in real-time broadband array beams, giving our customer the ability to instantly assess degraded arrays, conduct “what-if” scenarios, and determine where an array’s degradation inhibits an operators ability to effectively locate contacts. This technology is being adapted for legacy sonar arrays and will use start of the art systems and algorithms to improve capabilities. PICS The Platform Integrated Control System (PICS) is a certifiable open architecture, Integrated Bridge System that provides an automation feature for command and control of the submersible in a complex marine environment. It allows the submersible to operate independent of the pilot and navigator with an auto guidance functions. It displays any/all sensor data. Tools for Success ASSETT achieves success where others fail by choosing the best technology for the job, not just sticking with what has worked in the past. When we develop a new system, we also create test environments that allow us to accurately model the environment in which the product will be deployed. Our customers frequently remark that the level of accuracy we are able to replicate in a lab is indistinguishable from what they observe at sea. At ASSETT, we don’t stop there. We transition these designs to actual products that our customers integrate into their ships and take to sea. Cyber Cybersecurity isn’t something we bolt on to our programs just before delivery; cybersecurity is baked into every program from the beginning. From the design stage, cybersecurity is a continuous part of our process, ensuring robust, end-to-end cyber hardening and resiliency. As a lead cybersecurity advisor for the submarine force, ASSETT is not just aware of the latest cyber techniques and requirements but helps to develop them. This insight into the state-of-the-art practices is fed back to our programs, ensuring the highest level of security and compliance. ASSETT Application and Platform Process ASSETT Inc. has been supporting the U.S. Navy’s submarine programs since the founding of its business in January 2001. The original four founders of the company had been supporting the Navy A-RCI (acoustic-rapid COTS [commercial off-the-shelf] insertion) program since the mid-90s. The seeds of the Navy’s Open Architecture (OA) policy were sown in A-RCI. As OA evolved so did its definition with respect to combat systems development. By 2006, the Navy defined OA as an architecture with well-designed system and component interfaces that: • Uses commercial standards as much as possible • Decouples and reuses components • Allows third parties to design replacement components; and today ASSETT is open to any qualified vendor providing new capabilities using ASSETT-provided APIs and ASSETTprovided access to data • Adds new capabilities with minimal dependency on integrators. OA changed how the Navy does business and that transformation continues, especially with the growing need and requirement to introduce artificial intelligence into combat management solutions. OA is not just about the engineering of innovation, but it is also about the business of innovation. At ASSETT we are leading that kind of change.
