8 Since 1981, SURVICE has supported the DoD community, as well as the homeland security, advanced technologies, environmental, and commercial markets. We have also worked hard to retain the original vision upon which the company was founded to provide the warfighter with the safest, most survivable, and most effective equipment possible. Recognized leader in DoD Survivability, Lethality, Vulnerability studies; Test & Evaluation; and Modeling & Simulation Recognized leader in metrology and reverse engineering services (metrology.survice.com) Recognized expert in visualization and high-performance computing Only SB with NVIDIA CRC accreditation Dozens of highly-competitive DoD research grant awards NVIDIA CUDA Research Center SmartCEO Magazine Voltage Award for Technology Innovation 8

10 Our customer-acclaimed support primarily falls into five core business areas: Test & Evaluation Providing experience in the test and evaluation roles that are vital to the design, acquisition, and fielding of all new and modified combat systems. Modeling & Simulation/ Software Engineering Delivering a broad range of modeling and simulation, software engineering, and systems engineering capabilities. Dimensional Metrology and Reverse Engineering Offering customers precision dimensional metrology, modeling, and related services. Studies & Analysis Conducting a wide variety of safety, survivability, effectiveness, and systems engineering studies. Information Technologies & Management Collecting, maintaining, distributing, storing, verifying, and protecting the nation s critical defense information.

11 What is Metrology? Metrology is not what a weather man does that s *METEOROLOGY* Metrology is the science of measurement Metrology is defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) as "the science of measurement, embracing both experimental and theoretical determinations at any level of uncertainty in any field of science and technology. SURVICE Metrology is focused on Coordinate/Dimensional Metrology, reverse engineering, and dimensional inspection. We use inspection software, coordinate measurement devices, theodolites, GPS, laser projection systems, laser trackers, laser radar, photgrammetry, videogrammetry, scanning devices, and articulating arms to provide Metrology services to our customers. 11

12 What do we do? We digitize physical objects so that they can be used in computing environments 3-D documentation, 3-D modeling, reverse engineering We help ensure that products are made correctly, that they are built to match the design inspection, alignment We develop new and novel ways to visualize and utilize 3-dimensional models and data

13 Standard, Commonplace Measurement Devices 13

14 Great these tools work, but not for everything What if you need to measure or model objects at a much higher accuracy microns not millimeters or centimeters What if you need to perform these measurements much faster? What if you need to take human error largely out of the picture?

15 You re going to need better tools CMM Arms, Laser Scanners, Structured Light Scanners, Laser Trackers, etc.

16 16 PORTABLE CMM / LASER SCANNER - FARO Characteristics Measurement type Measure components of Accuracy Individual points or scan 0.5 to 3 meters From 25 microns Accuracy drops off rapidly for parts larger than 3 meters. Faro Portable Measuring Arm Medium accuracy, fast, robust, well proven technology for smaller parts, easily portable!

17 STRUCTURED LIGHT SCANNERS - BRUCKMANN Characteristics Measurement type Measure components of Accuracy Noncontact. Structured (White) Light Scan 1 cm to 5+ meters From 10 microns Knight s Helmet Scan Data RUECKMANN STRUCTURED LIGHT SCANNERS Rapid, high accuracy point cloud measurements. Multiple fields of view. Can integrate with photogrammetry

18 And these tools give you great data
