Service Experience
Research and Development Support
BGI has extensive experience supporting research and development activities related to next generation aircraft, simulation, and training systems. Our user perspective and warfighter expertise is particularly valuable in this functional area. BGI often teams with dedicated research companies including those who specialize in sophisticated psychological and human factors disciplines or the application of advanced technologies in the development of training systems.
Engineering, System Engineering and Process Engineering Support
BGI has considerable expertise in systems engineering and product development on a variety of programs and weapons platforms for NAVAIR as well as numerous large defense contractors. BGI’s engineering support typically begins in the acquisition phase with initial concept development and generation of system and subsystem level requirements and specifications. BGI engineering support continues throughout the entire program development cycle, including training requirements analysis, system design and development, subsystem and complete system integration, verification testing and customer acceptance. BGI specializes in bridging the gap between operational and technical requirements to deliver state-of-the-art technical systems that meet the needs of the operational community upon initial delivery.
Modeling, Simulation, Stimulation, and Analysis Support
BGI has amassed significant experience in all types of tactical aviation modeling, simulation, and stimulation approaches by supporting the development of over 100 different high fidelity training devices. BGI Analysts have contributed to the development of physical, mathematical and logical models for visual and sensor databases and tactical environments including the creation of synthetic entities governed by physical models, such as guided weapons, electronic countermeasures, and sensor systems.
Prototyping, Pre-Production, Model-Making, and Fabrication Support
BGI has been involved in the development, testing, and evaluation of prototypical and first article systems representing both large-scale, high-fidelity training devices and stand alone applications. Work performed in this functional area is often closely related to work performed in Research and Development where prototype systems and models later become production versions in a follow-on phase of the program.
System Design Documentation and Technical Data Support
BGI has provided deliverable documentation for NAVAIR as well as numerous large defense contractors on a variety of weapons platforms.
Human Factors, Performance, and Usability Engineering Support
BGI is a company comprised of leading experts in nearly every tactical aviation platform in the U.S. inventory. Our employees have the training and experience required to provide critical support of aviation related Human Factors and Performance activities. Our personnel are experts in defining required user knowledge, skills and abilities and tailoring training systems to complement and enhance those Human Factors. BGI Analysts are authorities at designing human-machine interfaces that ensure intuitive use, increasing system integrity and enabling efficient operations.
Interoperability, Test and Evaluation, Trials Support
BGI provided Test and Evaluation (T&E) support for numerous simulator programs, including the USAF F-16 MTC, F-16 Block 60 PTE and the F/A-18C DMT training systems. As part of these contracts, BGI helped develop test procedures at both the subsystem and system level to verify simulator performance compliance to program requirements.
Training Support
Providing expertise in training support is a primary mission of BGI. Our personnel have extensive training backgrounds and are ideally suited to provide assistance in the development, implementation and support of any military aviation training effort. Our training support experience includes high-fidelity simulator development, interactive courseware development, training document generation, syllabus creation, ground-based academic and simulation training and contract in-flight instruction.
Program Support
BGI has successfully supported numerous business and technical disciplines by matching skilled personnel with customer needs. BGI Operational Experts have assisted business development efforts by providing personnel with experience and authoritative knowledge relevant to the proposed effort. These experts were able to relate prime contractor technical capabilities to potential user training requirements and could present technical solutions in terms and concepts familiar to the user. This unique combination of technical savvy coupled with extensive operational and training experience has positioned BGI Operational Experts to support a wide variety of planning, staffing, organizational and leadership team efforts.
Quality Assurance Program
One of BGI management's primary goals is complete customer satisfaction. To achieve and maintain customer satisfaction, BGI has implemented a multifaceted Quality Assurance Program that emphasizes quality in all phases in all disciplines within BGI. This quality focus begins with BGI management who strive to create a team environment by building and maintaining a strong, positive attitude among the workforce and by stressing a "do it right the first time" attitude among managers and personnel. Quality processes have been created and are followed to support this business philosophy. Lastly, a quality organization within BGI has been established to maintain and continually improve the BGI Quality Assurance Program.
Quality Assurance Goals
BGI is committed to meeting the following quality assurance goals:
1. Complete customer satisfaction with all BGI products and services.
2. BGI products and services meet all customer requirements.
3. Maintaining product quality by delivering products with zero defects.
Quality Management Perspective
The BGI management team, including the quality manager, supports the quality assurance program by:
· Identifying the processes needed for the quality management system and their application throughout the organization
· Determining the sequence and interaction of the quality processes
· Determining the criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective
· Determining the sequence and interaction of the quality processes
· Determining the criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective
· Ensuring the availability of resources and information necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these processes
· Monitor, measure and analyze these processes
· Implement actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement of these processes
Corrective and Preventive Measures
BGI strives to eliminate all defects in products as well as provide services that completely satisfy customers. Processes are in place to correct deficiencies and to prevent future deficiencies from occurring. Non-conformances are documented for any products or services that do not meet the performance standards expected by the customer or the inability to complete work as prescribed in the program contract. A product non-conformance may be found at any phase of product development or test, including after delivery of products to the customer. A BGI service non-conformance can be identified at any time during the contracted service to a customer. Non-conformances are documented, corrected and tracked to closure. Non-conformances are reviewed by the BGI management team on a continual basis, causal analysis is performed and BGI processes are reviewed and improved as necessary to continually strive for complete customer satisfaction and zero defects.
Quality Awareness and Training
Quality is built into the BGI processes that are part of the BGI work environment. BGI employees receive several briefings during the hiring and orientation process to provide a clear level of understanding of BGI’s expectations and processes and what constitutes BGI quality products and services. In addition to these initial briefings, employees receive periodic refresher briefings and training to re-emphasize BGI expectations and to inform them of developments and changes in BGI processes that affect their day-to-day work activities. On the program side, periodic program meetings are conducted where quality issues are presented and addressed, including action items or discrepancies involving product or service quality. All of these communication venues ensure that a quality mindset is instilled into BGI employees and is maintained within each and every BGI employee throughout their careers at BGI.
