Boeing's Tapestry Subsidiary to Update Airlift Planning System

San Diego CA (SPX) Oct 31, 2011 -Boeing reports that its wholly owned subsidiary Tapestry Solutions is part of an industry team selected to upgrade and support the U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command's Consolidated Air Mobility Planning System (CAMPS).

As a subcontractor to SAIC, Tapestry was awarded a six-year contract valued at up to $15 million.

Under the contract, Tapestry's engineering support team will insert new software technology into CAMPS, an airlift and air-refueling mission planning and scheduling system used since 1990 across the Department of Defense for peacetime, crisis, contingency and wartime operations.

Tapestry also will lead operations and training for the updated web-services-based system.

As the developer of a cornerstone component of the principal planning system for airlift worldwide, Tapestry will be able to apply its suite of planning, optimization and disruption-management software applications to enhance mission readiness.

"The CAMPS win is a tribute to the team that developed a cost-saving, low-risk solution for the government," said Tony Rigazzi, senior director of Strategic Programs for Tapestry. "As defense budgets shrink, new ways of satisfying warfighter requirements with innovative solutions will win the day in today's fiercely competitive environment."

Tapestry Solutions, headquartered in San Diego, forms the core of the Logistics Command and Control subdivision of the Defense and Government Services division of Boeing Defense, Space and Security. Tapestry is a leading innovator of custom software development, training, consulting and support services to the U.S. military, civil government, and the private sector.

Indian Developments in Materials for Military Aero Engines

Image
The Indian aircraft industry is still in its nascent stages of growth. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is the only significant player, manufacturing aircraft and engines, albeit under license production. Even so, most of the materials and material technologies have been sourced from the original manufacturers (OEMs) of the engines and aircraft. In the recent past, a number of new material technologies have been recently introduced which are required in the production of Sukhoi aircraft (Su-30) and its engine (AL31FP). Kaveri, the proposed engine for LCA Tejas is the only programme which aims to design and develop indigenous engine and also to develop indigenous capabilities in the areas of materials and manufacturing technologies. In a sense, the development of indigenous material technologies in India is linked to Kaveri programme. Assessment of materials and manufacturing technologies presented here is largely based on the Kaveri experience in which many industries and research l...
