All of your Engineering needs in one Place

Computer Processor

Systems Engineering

ABT's systems engineering specialists consider both the business and technical needs of all customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets user needs. We deliver systems engineering expertise by integrating all the required disciplines and specialties into a team effort that functions within a structured development process, proceeding from concept to production to operation. ABT focuses on an interdisciplinary approach that defines customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documents requirements, then proceeds with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem.

HWIL System Simulation

Embedded systems are designed to control complex plants such as land vehicles, satellites, spacecrafts, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), aircrafts, weapon systems, marine vehicles, and jet engines. They generally require a high level of complexity within the embedded system to manage the complexity of the plant under control.

Hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulation achieves a highly realistic simulation of complex systems/equipment in an operational virtual environment. A typical HWIL system includes sensors to receive data from the control system, actuators to send data, a controller to process data, a human-machine interface (HMI) and a development post-simulation analysis platform. ABT's engineers and scientists define and create HWIL systems using innovative, modular, and cost-effective methodologies.

Engineers

FPGA Design and Development

The engineers at ABT are experts at using Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and other hardware to integrate schematics and firmware. ABT has the logic analyzers, protocol analyzers and Xilinx design seats necessary to accomplish almost any FPGA-based digital conversion.

Our fully trained and experienced FGPA team provides full turnkey FPGA design services. We can participate in any phase of an FPGA development life cycle from initial architecture, test bench development, feature addition, or addressing parts obsolescence issues with existing designs. Very often, the FPGA can even include whatever RAM; EEPROM and/or Flash functionality was provided in the original design, further reducing parts count, obsolescence issues, and cost, while increasing reliability.

  • Complete FPGA Life Cycle Support

  • System Architecture

  • Test Bench Development

  • Debug and Verification

  • Feature Development/Addition

  • Design Transfer
