DSI’s newest Software Module is set to be available in Summer 2008!

STAGE is a brand new idea and Software Tool that has never before been available in industry!

It is a Software Module that can use diagnostic information from eXpress (or may be used independently) to seed an infinite number of trade studies and analyses in evaluating operational support or costing scenarios and its simulated impact on mission success using maintenance, phasing, prognostics and/or any other factors as variables.

Central applications for STAGE:

• (Boundless variations evolving from any of the applications described below are within the scope of STAGE, however as implied with any staged production, your applications are only limited by your purpose and imagination).

• Improved Logistical Analysis
  (simulation-based Testability, Maintainability, Reliability, etc.)

• Assess the combined effectiveness of multiple diagnostic approaches
  (embedded diagnostics, pre and post-mission maintenance, scheduled maintenance, prognostics, etc.)

• Assess mission success in a reconfigurable system

• Support simulation (computing LCC, AO, etc.) based on different plans for asset management (sparing, supply chain, resources, obsolescence, etc.)

• Input for Reasoner Maturation/Optimization

Unlike any other Support Simulation tool and uses actual design data and diagnostic characteristics to produce highly accurate diagnostic and support projections over any selected lifetimes. Offers dozens of basic Trade-Off Algorithms for different generic evaluation studies, and allows a scripting capability to support an infinite number of conceivable Trade-Off Studies. Some simulation capabilities may be limited in scope in Version 1.0.
