Long Wave’s team of skilled software engineers and architects have hundreds of years of combined experience designing, implementing, and supporting various software solutions. The company specializes in providing customers with software solutions in three main areas:

• Simulations Training Devices
• Predictive Analysis Tools
• Scheduling Tools
• Clarinet Merlin Receiving System (CMRS)
  • CMRS is a shore based communications system that continuously monitors emergency transmissions from buoys launched from U.S. Navy submarines. The Long Wave specially designed digital signal processor (DSP) decoding unit is the nucleus of this improved communications system. Long Wave’s Clarinet Merlin Receiving System is designed with a high degree of equipment redundancy and innovative automation features. Each unmanned receiver site has software and hardware which automatically performs equipment self-tests at regular intervals.In the event of a failure, the software automatically isolates the failed equipment, places the backup component in service, and then notifies the remote operator of the equipment failure. Long Wave maintenance personnel are on 24-hour call to assist with any maintenance related issues. The CMRS system could be easily configured for aircraft applications.

In addition to our major focus areas, we offer a few areas of minor focus:

• Database Architecture and Design
• Natural Language Recognition and Processing

Long Wave performs systems engineering of complex systems, with customers across the DoD and commercial spectrum; successfully delivering practical solutions to complex problems. Many of these efforts have followed traditional DoD SETR processes and events, tracking the progression of the allocated, functional, and product baselines through deliverable documentation and presenting them at design reviews.

For software development, Long Wave has successfully incorporated the AGILE software development process with the traditional Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR) process. Translating classic requirement derivation into AGILE User Stories and then conducting iterative tests while planning for integration testing and traditional acceptance testing. Long Wave is committed to building your system right, and building you the right system.

Long Wave’s RF engineering focuses on systems communications, power, signal processing, and noise studies. Many of the solutions provided to customers include hardware and software integration comprised of various RF engineering requirements. Available solutions that Long Wave provides to customers:

• ACE
• CMRS
• Noise Studies

Long Wave’s structural engineers have a focus on telecommunications towers, covering all areas of the process from design and analysis to modification design and rigging plans.

Mechanical engineering at Long Wave offers diverse options. The main areas of focus are:

• Drafting
• Simulation console design
• Telecommunications site layout
• Specialized hardware manufacturing

• Performs the same functions of obsolete test and plotting equipment
• Eliminates dependency on unsupportable equipment
• Provides the capability to record noise measurement site data at a receive site for later analysis, paving the way for automated analysis and cost reductions
• Provides the ability to automatically label plots for reporting (a huge time savings)

• The interface unit can be programmed to work with most modern spectrum analyzers, enabling work at virtually any frequency, and enabling automatic control from remote locations
• The unit is capable of continuous recording of time history data in a format that can be logged to memory and analyzed later, thus reducing – and in some cases eliminating – the need for the presence of a full-time operator, as is currently required
• The unit allows for automatic labeling of the axis plot, thus eliminating this currently manual step
• The unit continuously records time history data in a format that can be logged to memory and analyzed later that also enables the possible use of “artificial intelligence like algorithms” to sort the data flagging events of interest thus reducing the amount of labor required
• A significant reduction in the size and weight of the more automated equipment makes the near-real-time deployment feasible during phase inspections, this helps maintain site integrity and is cost effective
• As capability evolves via automation of the new system, a remote monitored measurement system may become feasible for use as a full-time site integrity maintenance system
