ACI Support Services

• Research and Development Support
  What makes a team good in research and development – its people. In addition to ACI’s staff, ACI has an extensive industrial partnership base in the form of the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) and academic partners which form a near infinite capability for Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Navy and DOD in the generation of R&D investment recommendations and projects, program planning, program execution, and in the transition of technology. ACI, in cooperation with its team members, will provide a full range of electronics research and development (R&D) expertise.
  
  Examples of our R&D services are:
  • Design, development and process research
  • Component selection and analysis
  • System Specifications
  • Design for Manufacturability
  • Electronics and electrical system and subsystem design and process integration
  • High power solid state switches for pulsed power applications
  • Power electronics with an emphasis on high peak and average power applications
  • Optical control of power semiconductors for use in high EMI environments
  • Analytical and fundamental systems design
  • Technology creation, commercialization & militarization, and transition

• Engineering, System Engineering and Process Engineering Support
  ACI has considerable relevant experience over the past three years and longer in system design and process engineering. ACI also offers a wide range of expertise dealing with open architecture engineering design and technology refresh planning for new acquisitions, electronics technology obsolescence solutions and mitigation plans for new developments, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) system and sub-system implementation for existing defense products, circuit redesign due to package technology changes, and a full range of reverse engineering capabilities. ACI’s engineers have an experience-base in supporting organizations in their design phase.
  
  Examples of engineering, system engineering and process engineering design services that ACI will provide are:

• Design for manufacturability
• Circuit board design and layout
• Reverse and re-engineering processes
• Analog and digital systems designs
• Power- and micro-electronics system design
• RF systems and processes analysis
• Mechanical design and modeling
• Thermal analysis and modeling of electronics

• Prototyping, Pre-Production, Model-Making, and Fabrication Support
  ACI has the expert, matrixed technical staff and state-of-the-art facilities to provide a wide range of electro-mechanical manufacturing, prototyping, pre-production and fabrication support services. Over the last three years, the ACI team has offered high-quality, close-tolerance circuit board assembly, circuit board layout services, power and microelectronics prototyping and fabrication, analysis services for pre-production screening, as well as milling and turning of materials and components for assemblies and enclosures. ACI also offers complete prototype design engineering, re-engineering, and reverse engineering capabilities and testing services. We can build, fabricate, and test mechanical and electro-mechanical assemblies from prototype models to full scale production. The EF Precision Group has proven experience in machining traditional materials such as stainless steel, brass, bronze, nickel and plastics, as well as exotic metals and composites. Theses capabilities have come together to allow the ACI team to provide proven prototyping services and then manufacture of quality equipment – from parts for F-16 fighters and Apache and Blackhawk military helicopters, to complete electronic assemblies for the Army Electronics Sustainment Center (AESC) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
  
  ACI and its Team Members can readily supply the following services:

• Training Support
  ACI is a leader in industrial training. ACI has provided significant training to both Navy and Army personnel in electronics reliability. ACI is now offering this training to NAVSEA and other virtual SYSCOMs. A key part of managing the Navy’s Center of Excellence in Electronics, is in providing these training services through our Electronics Manufacturing Learning Center (EMLC). ACI is uniquely positioned to provide technical and professional development training for the implementation of quality models, such as LEAN and Six Sigma. The instructional curriculum is administered under the management of experienced, accredited, and certified instructors, which offer support in both military and commercial training. ACI offers a wide variety of courses pertinent to the skills of the individual trainee. Course curriculums can also be developed and tailored to meet the individual customers’ needs. The instructional sessions extend for a two week period, and include over 20 different courses.

• Program Support
  ACI has experience with and a proven method for managing projects, as evidenced by the successful implementation, execution, and completion of thirty-five major ManTech research projects (eighteen over the past five years), totaling $59.4 million with $7.4 million funded by non-ManTech government sources. ACI has successfully managed Advanced R&D in Navy Integrated Power Systems and Light Activated Semiconductor Switch projects for NAVSEA, and also successfully managed Blackhawk helicopter Intercom and PRC-112 Survival Radio and Battery Pack projects for the Army.
  
  ACI’s staff is fully qualified by way of education and relevant experience in the functional disciplines that are required to effectively run a Navy ManTech center of Excellence, as well as other subcontracted team members, as defined by the requirements of this solicitation. These relevant disciplines include management of an Electronics Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence, extensive knowledge of Navy ManTech electronics initiatives, experience in prioritizing and selecting projects of highest value to the Navy, project management for government projects, business functions supporting Center operations, electronics technology and trends as they relate to DoD applications, and connectivity with program offices, industry, and academia by way of an established and proven network. For the last 10 years, ACI has successfully managed and operated the EMTC and its staff has learned and grown with the challenges and changes that have accompanied the ManTech program and the electronics industry during that period. As a result, all levels of ACI’s current staff have developed an enviable amount of experience and knowledge of ONR, Navy, and DOD electronics manufacturing projects and programs.
