Stanley Associates, Inc. (Stanley), founded in 1966, is a growing Professional Engineering Services company specializing in software, systems and engineering design, development, analysis, and management. Our company excels at developing integrated, customized engineering solutions for the needs of our clients. Today, the firm has over 1,600 employee owners with operations in twenty-eight states, Washington, D.C., and six foreign countries.

Stanley offers the services associated with the special item numbers (SINs) listed below in the mechanical engineering (ME) and electrical engineering (EE) professional engineering disciplines (PEDs):

Strategic Planning for Technology Programs/Activities (871-1):
Services required involve the definition and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements such as projects, systems, missions, etc., and the objectives and approaches to their achievement. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to an analysis of mission, program goals and objectives, requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special studies and analysis, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Stanley’s support to the Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies (CCDOT), in support of the Department of Defense and the Naval Sea Systems Command, demonstrates our successful experience with such tasks. We identified and analyzed current and emerging high-speed ship technologies and DOD’s ship system performance requirements for commercial high-speed cargo ships and freight-capable ferries. Also, we determined the ability of existing and planned commercial High-Speed Sealift vessels to support DOD’s strategic sealift and intra-theater transport mission requirements. Stanley’s work for the Naval Sea Systems Command encompassed management of requirements, design, development, and lifecycle maintenance of the legacy TOMAHAWK Weapons Control System. Through design and integration of hardware, support of all developmental and operational testing, and development and support of all specific test equipment, Stanley is integral to the planning, development, installation, and support of fleet-released systems. We developed a common testing approach used during all developmental testing, which decreased program risk as it proceeds into the Operational Test phase.

Concept Development and Requirements Analysis (871-2):
Services required involve abstract or concept studies and analysis, and requirements definition, preliminary planning, the evaluation of alternative technical approaches and associated costs for the development or enhancement of high-level general performance specifications of a system, project, mission, or activity. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, requirements analysis, cost/cost-performance trade-off analysis, feasibility analysis, regulatory compliance support, technology conceptual designs, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Stanley has supported the naval architecture firm Band, Lavis & Associates in the competitive design process for the development of a US Naval Auxiliary Ship used to provide underway replenishment services to on-station combatant vessels. Stanley analyzed engineering data including sizing and storage requirements, rates, and arrangement configurations. We also analyzed the ability of the system to meet the requirements through operational experience, statistical analysis of the data, and modeling and simulation tools. Further modeling efforts were made to evaluate alternative technical approaches to the design and to perform cost/cost-performance trade-off analysis.

Test and Evaluation (871-4):
Services required involve the application of various techniques demonstrating that a prototype system (subsystem, program, project, or activity) performs in accordance with the objectives outlined in the original design. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, testing of a prototype and first article(s) testing, environmental testing, independent verification and validation, reverse engineering, simulation and modeling (to test the feasibility of a concept), system safety, quality assurance, physical testing of the product or system, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Stanley’s support of the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Command demonstrates experience in this area. Our expertise spanned from the prototype ship models through the delivery of the initial production model. During this effort, we conducted environmental testing, validation and verification, simulation modeling, quality assurance, and physical testing of ships. Also, Stanley has provided this type of support to the Naval Sea Command (Virginia Class of submarines). Efforts included Test and Evaluation (T&E) engineering and technical consulting for requirements analysis and tracking, T&E Master Plan development and update, and test program review and oversight. We provide management, planning, and tracking of technology improvements, in addition to providing evaluations for follow-on developmental and operational testing.

Acquisition and Lifecycle Management (871-6):
Services required involve all of the planning, budgetary, contract, and systems/program management functions required to procure and/or produce, render operational, and provide lifecycle support (maintenance, repair, supplies, and engineering-specific logistics) to technology-based systems, activities, subsystems, projects, etc. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to, operation and maintenance, program/project management, technology transfer/insertion, training, privatization, and outsourcing.

Stanley’s work providing management and engineering support to the Advanced Systems and Technology Office (ASTO) in the Program Executive Office (PEO) for Undersea Warfare fulfills these requirements. Our project experience includes signal processing upgrades, improvement of towed array sensors for surface ships, development and demonstration of simple, low cost sensor/array technology, and improving sonar performance. Program management support includes project planning, project documentation, and presentation. Finally, we support planning and budgeting, and we have developed a series of management tools that have been assembled into an integrated package for use by our customer.
