R4IT Expertise

R4IT's current areas of expertise:

R4IT personnel have been involved with developing, managing and supporting projects deployed throughout the world. Systems include unattended networked ground sensor systems for DoD customers; various systems requiring digital signal processing, including acoustic applications and custom embedded DSP electronic signals processing; database systems utilizing C/C++ and JAVA GUI for system independence; system software maintenance, including custom GUI interfacing to provide customer-required system metrics for UNIX and VMS systems on a LAN containing in excess of 100 nodes of both types - in this particular case, metrics-gathering performance was improved from a matter of days to less than 3 hours per run.

Lifecycle software support was provided for aging systems with components that could no longer be replaced, while replacement systems were designed and developed. These systems were in support of remote sites around the globe. Replacement system design included Integrated Life Cycle Support.

R4IT personnel include various former military members, including a USN Pilot, a USAF OSI & Chief Logistics Plans / Installation Deployment Officer (Lackland) and a USAF Intelligence Analyst, who have dealt with the needs of joint services, and managed various military projects, including deployment and high-tech quick-fix issues for various military components. One received a medal for project management of a high-tech project in support of Operation Desert Storm. R4IT desires to work issues of concern to DoD, including Joint Service warfighter support, Intelligence Community and Homeland Defense.

Customer networking support has been in the area of Collaboration Associate Product Line Management (APLM) and included multi-agency projects.
