Interoperability Engineering Services

You have a vision—a digitized battlespace that's fully integrated with joint and combined defense forces. Your vision requires that technologies, systems, and procedures remain compatible as new systems, features, and functionality are introduced into the battlefield. You certainly don't want to find out that your new artillery system won't interoperate properly with your maneuver control system in the field. That's where ARINC can help.

By using proven engineering and testing processes, ARINC's interoperability services ensure the integration of battlefield systems early in the design and development process, not after deployment. We develop standards for interfaces, then design and test systems for interoperability. We can also demonstrate interoperability without the need to relocate systems to a common integration and testing location, avoiding program delays.

For the U.S. Army, we designed, built, and operate the Army Interoperability Network (AIN), an international digital communications network that supports the development, testing, and certification of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, electronic warfare, and sensors (C4IEW&S) systems. Prior to AIN, the Army individually tested many command and control systems in simulated environments that often required expensive and time-consuming physical relocation and setup. With AIN, hardware and software developers at widely dispersed locations share information electronically and identify and solve even the most subtle interoperability issues early in the design process.

If you're facing the interoperability challenge, call ARINC. We'll show you the benefits of subscribing to the AIN—or design, develop, and implement a customized, easy-to-use distributed information network that meets your unique needs for remote interoperability and development testing.
