SAIC personnel apply their space system engineering, design, and development expertise to develop cost estimate relationships for the recurring and non-recurring costs associated with development and operation of space systems.
Simulations provide for the evaluation of interoperating systems including space and terrestrial elements, and allow for changing mission requirements, configurations and operations.
These simulations are used in decision analysis and force planning, system requirement definition and allocation, test and evaluation, operational planning and execution.
