Expertise: CymSTAR LLC is both an SBA certified HUBZone small business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that specializes in all types of training device development, concurrency modification, and technology upgrades. CymSTAR possesses key engineering and management skills including:

• Systems Engineering
• Software Engineering
• Dynamic modeling of physical systems
• Electrical Engineeing
• Mechanical Engineering
• Aeronautical Engineering
• High level assembly
• Integration and Test

Experience: The CymSTAR staff has successfully completed over fifty concurrency and technology modifications to training devices built by various original equipment manufacturers. In addition, we have designed and produced seven Flight Training Devices which featured the re-hosting of GFE full flight software loads. Successful completion of these projects is direct evidence of CymSTAR’s excellent capability to interpret and understand original manufacturer designs and to modify these designs with minimal disruption to the original systems. This demonstrated experience translates directly into lower cost, schedule and performance risk in training device development, modification and installation.

Experience Categories:

• Avionics concurrency upgrades to flight simulators, including upgrades to flight management systems (FMS), global positioning systems (GPS), weather radar, inertial navigation systems (INS), fuel savings advisory systems (FSAS), traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS), terrain avoidance warning systems (TAWS), enhanced ground-proximity warning systems (EGPWS), reduced vertical separation minimums/minima (RVSM), global air traffic management (GATM), all weather flight control systems (AWFCS), enhanced navigation systems (ENS). These upgrades included stimulation and simulation of aircraft units, with emulation of all appropriate interfaces, such as 1553 and ARINC.
• Technology upgrades to flight simulators, including aerodynamic upgrade effort (AUE), automated test guide systems (ATG), electric control loading (ECL), host computer replacements (rehost), sound systems upgrades, interface (I/F) systems replacement/upgrade, and instructor operator station (IOS) upgrades.
• Reuse/rehost of existing trainer device software into alternate hardware platforms. The designed and developed low cost student stations for flight training devices (FTD).
• Maintenance trainer enhancements, including technology insertions, aircraft concurrence upgrades, addition of simulated and stimulated aircraft components, malfunction enhancements and mechanical, electrical and software updates.

Business Model: CymSTAR is committed to maximum use of commercial off the shelf (COTS) products and open system designs. CymSTAR provides unlimited rights on all elements it develops. Routine employment of firm/fixed price contracts exemplifies CymSTAR’s confidence in its capability to perform on time every time. Finally, CymSTAR has an alliance with a reputable Alaska Native Corporation that provides a convenient 8(a) contracting vehicle.
