Company Overview:

MIKEL, a small women‐owned business, was founded in March 1999. Our primary line of business involves providing professional engineering services in the disciplines of Electrical, Ocean, and Acoustic Engineering to both commercial entities and the Department of Defense.

MIKEL has been providing Undersea Warfare (USW) solutions to the departments of defense and homeland security and civilian organizations since their inception. Our solutions include the development of fixed and portable underwater tracking ranges, submarine sonar signal processing and combat system data processing improvements and tactical analysis and training evaluation tools. Our products are integrated into existing underwater platforms and are used in submarine attack and analysis centers. Some examples of our technology include underwater acoustic detection, discrimination and tracking of undersea vehicles, including threat submarines and torpedoes, localization and positioning algorithms used to improve the navigation accuracy of unmanned undersea vehicles, target motion analysis algorithms used to determine undersea tactical picture and automated performance measurement/analysis systems. MIKEL personnel have also been responsible for the development of the first ever towed array target motion analysis (TMA) algorithm installed on U.S. submarines as well as multi‐sensor TMA algorithms to determine the 3D positions of all targets.

MIKEL provides a unique set of employees who possess both tactical and operational experience with advanced degrees. The key to sustained high quality services performance resides in its personnel. To that end, MIKEL retains personnel who have the requisite experience to ensure continued excellent performance.

All of the staff have been involved in providing technical services to the Federal Government for several decades and as such ensure that only the highest quality of support can be expected by GSA. If needed, MIKEL can provide resumes for these individuals that will detail the experience necessary to run a company and support the services outlined in the PES designated SIN descriptions.

871-1(EE) Strategic Planning for Technology Programs/Activity

MIKEL has expertise in the evaluation of high‐level U.S. Navy mission objectives and resulting performance requirements. We have completed multiple projects in these areas. For example, our company analyzed the Active Intercept Ranging capability for the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) with the goal of defining key components of an active intercept and collision avoidance system. As a result, MIKEL defined multiple technology and system development options based on various sensor, signal processing, and system alternatives. This was accomplished by the research and analysis of current system requirements, an in‐depth analysis of multiple systems’ performance and cost implications and the development of a working knowledge of viable system alternatives.

One of the options was selected and a full program objective and milestone plan was produced.

A second example of previous successfully completed projects lies in the evaluation of resources required to execute technical approaches and programs to meet all the current requirements for undersea ranges. MIKEL conducted a fundamental study that would challenge all of the long held assumptions forming the basis for these requirements and proposed a new set of technology solutions meeting these requirements. The definition and interpretation of assumptions that formed the requirements for undersea tracking ranges were evaluated and scrutinized by key professional engineers with critical knowledge and experience in undersea tracking range requirements and technology. MIKEL provided an in‐depth analysis covering the fundamental purpose of undersea ranges and the assumptions underlying the existing range architecture based on an understanding of high‐level mission requirements for undersea tracking ranges. Examining and challenging many of the fundamental assumptions allowed the identification of alternative approaches that could meet the requirements, improve the products for conducting range exercises to providing affordable solutions for portable ranges. This effort also identified new technology opportunities that would allow the next generation range architectures to emerge and identified the Research and Development required to provide the next generation capability.

This analysis resulted in a fundamental systems engineering process that looked beyond the ORD (Operational Requirements Document), and focused at the basic mission requirements. MIKEL provided NUWCNPT with the support in analyzing the current approach and identifying new architectures to improve the product. In addition, MIKEL provided the fundamental groundwork to identify the R&D and production programs required to meet the user’s needs.

871-2(EE) Concept Development and Requirements Analysis

MIKEL has significant experience and expertise in the areas of concept development and requirements analysis for the US Navy. An example of a successfully completed project is the studies conducted of newly emerging submarine combat systems (sensors, combat control and weapons) and special warfare systems in order to define performance requirements and shortfalls and evaluate tradeoffs in performance and cost of different technical approaches addressing the shortfalls. MIKEL conducts studies of current and newly emerging submarine combat systems (sensors, combat control and weapons) and special warfare systems to include detection, classification, tracking, localization/target motion analysis and weapon preset and post launch control and the effect of these functions on tactical decision making. We identify operational problems based on the analysis of system performance during actual at sea operations and work with developers of ASW systems to define system requirements/specifications and assist in the implementation and integration of new capabilities within the combat system that address the identified operational problems. Concept studies are also performed to evaluate how best to measure crew performance during synthetic training events conducted at the submarine multi mission team trainers. This includes measurement of how the submarine combat system and special warfare system supports crew decision making. This is accomplished through modeling & simulation;

development of measures of performance and measures of evaluation models and algorithms using MATLAB and statistical estimation theory.

871-3(EE) System Design, Engineering and Integration

MIKEL’s core expertise lies within the system design, engineering and integration SIN. Previously, we provided these services to the Naval Underwater Warfare Center, Newport Division (NUWCNPT). They required the development and implementation of methodologies to automate the time consuming and error prone processes of manual track reconstruction/rectification and analysis and evaluation of government approved measures of performance and measures of effectiveness. Design studies and analysis were required to select appropriate hardware and system architectures and automation methodologies. High level detailed specifications were developed to be used for prototype system development. Configuration management was performed to control development and dissemination of system builds and document control.

MIKEL developed and documented a new analysis system (called the Tactical Analysis Toolbox – TAT) for ASW exercise reconstruction and quantification; tactical performance analysis; and tactical metric calculations. New capabilities developed included: multiple target and multiple ASW platform analysis including aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters), surface units including SURTASS units, and submarines;

reconstruction and track rectification capability including quantification of reconstruction errors; analytical and analysis support for Theater USW reconstruction and analysis; incorporating the use of environmental data into the analysis process;

simulated torpedo firing analysis and evaluation; and export of analysis data and track information to ASW Tactical Analysis System (A‐TAS) data base system. We also provided documentation an well as training on TAT analysis capabilities and upgrades.

In addition, another ongoing effort that exemplifies our system engineering, design and integration skills can be seen throughout our development of an undersea ranging technology for submarines by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to provide an enhanced capability for ship self defense and survivability. This capability is being developed for installation and deployment on all classes of U.S. Submarines and is intended to interface to the existing sensors that are installed as part of the platform’s overall sensor suite. MIKEL designed developed, implemented and tested sensor, signal processing and data processing algorithms to allow detection and passive ranging to underwater acoustic active emissions from sonar and torpedo systems. We conducted laboratory and experimental testing of existing and new sensors and developed signal and data processing hardware and software to process the detection data provided by the sensors. We performed risk identification/analysis/mitigation, traceability encompassing the various sensor, signal and data processing components and then integrated the best components to produce a working active intercept ranging system prototype/ model of the final system. Software was implemented and developmental testing of proposed algorithms was performed. This was achieved by modeling and simulation of proposed signal and data processing approachs to verify functionality and conformance with design objectives. We utilized mathematical analysis and physics based modeling for algorithm development and MATLAB software environment for implementation and testing.

871-4(EE) Test and Evaluation

MIKEL has extensive expertise in the area of Test and Evaluation of current and emerging submarine combat systems during both laboratory training scenarios and actual at sea operations conducted on instrumented training ranges or in the open ocean. To demonstrate this, we performed test and evaluation of current and newly emerging submarine combat systems to assess the suitability of the systems supporting various ASW and special warfare missions as they were originally designed. MIKEL performed test and evaluation of submarine combat systems, special warfare systems and tactics during actual at sea surface ship, aircraft and submarine joint and individual platform exercises. More specifically, MIKEL performed test and evaluation of various USW platforms, systems and tactics utilizing modeling & simulation and provided the development of measures of performance and measures of evaluation models and algorithms using MATLAB and statistical estimation theory. Known experts in the field of test and evaluation were utilized to conduct this task.
