Description: GeoLogics engineers support EDO developing tactical C2 displays, communications interface systems and equipment. Our engineers developed a new MMI for Link 16, Link 11B, and the ATDL Command and Control (C3) validation system. Used DirectX to draw icons and Surveillance Objects, maps and range rings; MFC to present dialogs and lists; and .Net Remoting to replace home grown protocol. Created and implemented Multi-threading library using STL and Design Patterns.
Designed and implemented multi-threaded Avionics 1553 interface library to work with a SBS Technologies PCMCIA 1553 interface card. Implemented device independent GPS access library. Designed and implemented multi- threaded MMI to control several embedded systems and GPS devices, collecting and logging data thru 1553 interfaces and switching embedded systems modes of operation. Link 16 Tactical Data Link
Client: EDO- Communications and Countermeasures Systems
Description: EDO has been supporting the NATO Programming Center (NPC) development of tactical data link simulators. GeoLogics engineers have been responsible for providing a LINK 16 capability into the EDO product for the German Air Force (GAF). LINK 16 is the newest interface between C4 systems. Design, Development, I&T for Support Equipment
Client: Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division, Lakehurst
Description: GeoLogics was awarded a delivery order contract to support NAWC-AD with the design, development, integration, test, manufacturing, installation, and support of fielded aircraft Support Equipment (SE) systems. The contract covers Navy shipboard and shore based maintenance environments, Navy aircraft support equipment like avionics testers, test program sets, and other SE. To win the job GeoLogics had to demonstrate experience with Navy aircraft SE and with Navy engineering processes and industry best practices. This win follows our decade-long successful support of Navy aircraft avionics development and test programs at NRL and NAWC-AD in Lexington Park, MD. Imaging Solution Programs

Description: GeoLogics integrated our instrumentation, systems development, and optical talent into an optical sciences group to provide specialized services for scientific applications in the fields of optics, imaging, and electronics. This new group’s charter is to support research laboratories with the highest quality visualization tools. The Custom Imaging Solutions Group provides support in the following areas: Imaging and Support Systems: Confocal laser microscopes Optical and fluorescent microscopes Digital imaging/CCD systems Lasers, manipulators, vibration-free mounts, environmental chambers Consultation, engineering, and design: New imaging systems, enhancements, and upgrades to existing systems Other technical services: Repair, refurbishment, and replacement of auxiliary subsystems (lamps, lasers, fiber optics, computer upgrades, and custom tailored solutions to your specifications) Microphotograph Imaging Solution
Project: Design of an imaging system to observe and photograph mice’s eyes.
Description: GeoLogics provided an imaging solution for the National Eye Institute & Human Genome Research Institute at NIH. It consisted of a custom slid lamp microscope to obtain high-resolution images from a genetically modified mouse’s eye.
The client specifications required the engineering of a custom solution. GeoLogics modified a human optometrist instrument and engineered an optical solution to compensate for the different size of the mouse’s eye.
GeoLogics engineered with a beam splitter and digital camera installation to photograph and view the eyes through the slide at the same time. The camera needed was a special camera which had to be programmed for this particular use. GeoLogics engineers have the experience in this field of work and were adept to designing a solution, building it, and optimizing it to support the client’s requirements. Scientific Imaging Training
Project: Operator Training for a Leica Confocal Laser Microscope.
Description: GeoLogics developed and conducted an intensive training on-site at Walter Reed Hospital (AFIP) for scientists and researchers working with a Leica Confocal Laser Microscope. The theoretical and hands-on training program focused on biological samples and practical operations tailored to the needs of the AFIP.
GeoLogics instructors have many years of practical research experience in their fields, allowing us to give the client a broad spectrum of training which can be customized for their specific needs.
Our instructors are very flexible and can adjust to the clients schedule as well as practical research applications. GeoLogics also provides the clients with the biological samples and materials necessary for the training exercises. Microscope Service
Project: GeoLogics provides service for Laboratory Microscopes.
Description: GeoLogics provides regular service for research microscopes in accordance with CFR regulations. GeoLogics performs preventive maintenance, operational verification, and certification of the microscope and its components. The service consists of cleaning, calibrating, and alignment of mechanical and optical components and an overall operational check.
GeoLogics also is capable of providing optical imaging solutions to meet client requirements. GeoLogics also sells new or refurbished microscopes which can be custom tailored to the client specifications. GeoLogics repairs microscopes and its parts to like-new conditions and can supply parts and materials for any sort of microscopy work.
GeoLogics list of growing university research clients include Old Dominion University, Howard University, Georgetown University, and several veterinary clinics. Laser Solutions
Project: GeoLogics replaced the Laser for a Bio-Rad Confocal Microscope.
Description: GeoLogics performed this exchange for the US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Research Branch, in Washington DC. GeoLogics tested and diagnosed the problem, removed, refurbished, replaced, and retested the laser on-site after refurbishment. GeoLogics also re-aligned and performed an operations check to bring the laser to maximum performance. The final result was a confocal laser that surpassed its initial performance. The work was performed in a very short period of time to meet client’s schedule. The laser was installed, aligned, and tested on the system the very same day it was delivered. Repair downtime on the laser did not impact on-going research project.
GeoLogics service engineers understand the confocal laser technology and are dedicated to the client. GeoLogics service engineers also personally oversaw the refurbishment of the laser and supervised a factory acceptance test (FAT) and hand delivered it to the client site to ensure its safety and alignment.
