Background
Softworld has played a key role in supporting the growth and expansion of a leading defense
contractor’s operations, particularly in executing contracts with the U.S. Army’s Armored Multi-Purpose
Vehicle Command at the Detroit Arsenal. We have also assisted in navigating multiple sub-contractual
agreements with Department of Defense (DoD) integrators nationwide. Our team’s involvement has
been instrumental in helping the client incorporate cutting-edge technologies into military vehicle
systems, ensuring mission success for both the U.S. Army and its contractors.
The Challenge
The U.S. Army’s Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) program required rapid, high-quality delivery of modernized vehicle systems designed to improve mobility, survivability, lethality, and situational awareness. This challenge involved implementing advanced open systems architecture to allow the seamless integration of new connected devices and systems. The client needed to support ambitious contracts with the DoD, all while ensuring compliance with stringent security regulations. They also required a team with diverse technical expertise to deliver these innovations while meeting tight timelines and regulatory demands.The Solution
To meet these challenges, we provided over 50 skilled professionals in several key technical disciplines, contributing to the success of the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle program. Our expertise supported the integration of open systems architecture into military vehicle systems, enhancing operational capabilities across a range of platforms, including ground, airborne, and maritime vehicles.
Our team provided critical support in areas such as:
Software Engineering (C++) for system integration and device performance enhancement.
Systems Engineering (MBSE) for optimizing subsystem integration.
Electrical Engineering (Circuit & Harness Design) for designing reliable and robust electrical systems.
Mechanical Engineering (CAE) for designing and testing mechanical components from concept to production.
Functional Safety Engineering to ensure safety standards were met.
Cybersecurity Engineering to secure communication and operational technologies against potential threats.
Program Management and DoD Compliance to ensure adherence to timelines, budgets, and regulatory requirements.
