Software Success

When a previous supplier failed to deliver, Lockheed Martin Aerospace turned to GECO to develop Mobile Engine Test Stand software that would simulate the C-130J main processor, control a turboprop engine and provide a set of controlled test sequences to fully qualify the engine prior to installation.

GECO evaluated the existing code, redesigned the software architecture and re-implemented the software. GECO also developed test software to simulate the discrete I/O and facilitate automated testing of the MIL-STD1553 bus. Subsequent contracts to provide additional functionality were implemented with no regression problems, showing that the GECO documentation, coupled with the new software architecture, provide ease of maintenance.

Due to excellent performance on the contract, Lockheed Martin nominated GECO for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Award of Excellence. GECO received the prestigious award in 2007.
