AGI software specializes in modeling time-varying performance of RF communications links and
radar systems. These systems are modeled within mission architectures involving ground vehicles,
aircraft, missiles, ships and satellites. Capabilities cover analog and digital links; navigation system
accuracy; search/track and synthetic aperture radars; and interference and jamming.
Engineers, analysts and operators use AGI software to support conceptual design and system specification;
plan, optimize and analyze field tests; evaluate integrated mission architectures; study tradeoffs across RF
and non-RF mission elements; and plan operations relying on RF performance.
AGI's desktop applications provide interoperability with standard engineering tools and
an open architecture that is extensible and customizable through scripting and programming interfaces.
AGI software development kits are interoperable, scalable and perfect for use with service-oriented
architectures (SOA) in net-centric environments. Mission-specific workflows are rapidly prototyped with
fully customizable GUIs and an application engine. Core modeling, simulation and visualization capabilities
are integrated into deployed applications through low-level component libraries.

Concept design
The concept phase relies on rapid trade studies to synthesize, compare and down-select alternative
architectures. AGI's off-the-shelf capability ensures effort stays focused on these trades and not
tool development. A continuous spectrum of fidelity means modeling detail can quickly increase as
designs mature. All of this lets designers quickly reach optimal RF designs and clearly communicate
design benefits and differentiators to stakeholders.

Plan, optimize and analyze field tests
Test outcomes can be significantly impacted by decisions such as where to mount an antenna on a
vehicle, what trajectory the vehicle will follow, the test environment and location of telemetry
and measurement stations. AGI software can accurately model the outcome of such choices to help
ensure test objectives are met without wasting expensive resources.

Evaluate integrated mission architectures
Assessing RF performance in isolation can slow the systems engineering process, inhibit design
innovation and lead to suboptimal mission designs. With AGI software it is possible to avoid these
inefficiencies by modeling communications and radar systems in conjunction with platform performance,
optical sensor coverage and more while directly measuring end-to-end mission effectiveness.

Plan operations relying on RF performance
Once in the field planners and operators need to know how specific RF systems will perform in
specific environments. AGI software provides the fidelity and analytic geospatial environment
needed to localize analyses and accurately characterize expected performance. This lets planners
better decide where and how to employ communications and radar assets to support the mission.

Wind turbine siting and radar obstruction analysis
Accurate modeling of wind turbines and their interaction with defense, weather and air
traffic control (ATC) radar systems is a vital component of the wind farm planning and
siting process. Often, the impact of planned wind farms on radars is overlooked until
too late, costing money and time on projects that get delayed. AGI is bringing its
expertise to this problem in the form of a high-fidelity, web-based radar/wind interaction
analysis tool being developed for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. AGI has a
screening tool capability in its desktop product, available now.
