- Aerospace Structures
focuses on the development and life management of structures with
particular emphasis on all sizes and types of aerospace vehicles.
- Test
and Evaluation provides performance evaluation of products and
equipment in ocean simulation test chambers that range in pressures to
30,000 psig and sizes up to 90 inches in diameter.
- Marine Structures
and Engineering performs systems design, analysis, fabrication and
test programs emphasizing the technologies in the marine and offshore
petroleum industries.
-
Product Assurance handles research, development and independent
testing services to ensure the functionality, structural integrity and
environmental and electromagnetic compatibility of systems and
components subjected to normal and adverse operating environments.
-
Dynamics,
Acoustics and Reliability Engineering carry out design, analysis and
testing of mechanical systems with emphasis on systems subject to
acoustic and dynamic loading. Additionally, system level reliability
analysis is performed.
-
Aviation Systems Engineering consolidates SwRI aviation activities
to provide the Army with a solid support infrastructure at the SwRI
Redstone Arsenal office in Huntsville, Ala. The group primarily supports
legacy aircraft in an engineering/logistics services capacity, providing
solutions for the Army’s aging aircraft.
