Our goals are to be responsive to customer requirements, improve the warfighters’ training capabilities, and lower training costs. Our teamwork, quality processes, and detailed planning provide our customers with a fully functional simulator on budget and on time.

Our management believes in the Integrated Program Team (IPT) concept, and we have led and participated in IPTs on all our training device developments. This format gives the customer more frequent input into the overall design. Our management and visual database IPTs have been the most active in past projects.

The AH-1W (shown in model below) has had better than 99% availability
during its first 3 years of operation, a tribute to J.F. Taylor, Inc.’s quality products.

Extensive Experience

The company’s extensive experience in military aircraft RDT&E, positions J.F. Taylor, Inc. as a uniquely qualified supplier of training system devices. Our talented team of engineers, logisticians, and technical writers apply knowledge acquired from both previous training systems and our RDT&E work to new training systems under development.

We have been involved in the trainer development on many of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps platforms. These include the F-14A/B, F/A-18C/D/E/F, P-3C, SH-60B, MH-60S, CH-53E, AH-1W, UH-1N, V-22, KC-130T, VH-3D, and VH-60N.

We integrate a multitude of vendors’ products into key trainer functions to produce superior products. We have experience with visual system vendors such as E&S, SGI, Quantum 3D, and Aechelon; and control loading system vendors such as SCT, Fokker, and Servos and Simulation.

Broad Capabilities

We use a wide variety of computational systems, operating systems, and programming languages to provide our customers the best device possible. We have developed real-time capabilities utilizing Alpha-based systems and Intel-based systems. Our latest systems are designed using PC technology with LINUX and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems.

J.F. Taylor, Inc. has developed devices to provide interoperable training with other training systems using High Level Architecture (HLA) and Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). We have also integrated different Semi-Automated Forces (SAF) systems into our training devices. This provides a much richer synthetic environment for the warfighter.

We have Fabrication Facilities for both mechanical and electrical designs. This lowers cost and risk as the technicians have direct access to the engineering team throughout the fabrication and installation process.

We understand the importance of logistics and maintenance documentation as it pertains to the life cycle cost and availability of the device. We employ a talented logistics and documentation team which works with the engineering teams to produce accurate and complete documents the first time.

Competitive Pricing

J.F. Taylor, Inc.’s policy is to reduce initial costs as well as maintenance expenses for our customers through the following key methods:

• Utilize the best COTS products available to lower initial and maintenance costs.
• Rehost existing software models to reduce development time and initial costs.
• Draw from our large library of tested avionics ­models that can be used in new devices.
• Actively track progress throughout the design ­process.
• Create designs that include all human engineering factors.
