Design Visualization (DV)

DV develops simulation products associated with Ground Operations Processing , conceptual modeling, and conceptual analysis and evaluation.

Capabilities include:

  • Three-dimensional (3-D) laser scans
  • 3-D printing
  • Photogrammetry and non-contact 3-D digitizing
  • Reverse engineering
  • 3-D models, associated texture mapping, simulations, visualizations, animations
  • Telemetry stream-based simulations and associated code, tools and techniques to perform tasks.

These products are used by the laboratory customer base  to enhance their decision-making process, streamline their processes, reduce operations cost of their programs and plan processing, assembly, construction and operation of new flight hardware, systems and vehicles.
