Systems Engineering
CTI provides a variety of systems engineering capabilities including full system architecture and design, system development, system integration, and system deployment support.
CTI has performed a number of successful engineering efforts including electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensor integration, radar system integration, precision navigation system integration, line-of-sight, satellite, and HF voice and data link integration, and advanced signals intelligence sensor integration (including cellular, direction finding, and geo-location).
CTI can analyze the problem domain, determine a viable systems engineering solution, perform the necessary development or team with other companies to do so, and deliver and deploy an integrated capability to the end user. CTI has solid, long-term working relationships with a number of other small companies that specialize in areas such as manufacturing, computer hardware, flight test, antenna design and fabrication, and other specialized capabilities. This type of teaming allows CTI to successfully execute larger programs than would seem possible based on size alone.

Software Development
CTI’s experience and capabilities in modern software development are extensive. CTI uses a philosophy of using the “best tool for the job”. This means that all of CTI’s engineers must be able to design and develop software in any language, for any platform, within any development environment.
Using best common practices such as requirements analysis, in-depth design, and modern visual tools and environments mixed with Modern approaches such as agile programming, CTI can quickly and effectively develop complex software systems in short periods of time. CTI has developed and deployed systems ranging from hundreds of lines of code to hundreds of thousands of lines of code and has helped develop and support systems comprised of millions of lines of code.
CTI is conversant in all modern high-order languages including C/C++, C#, Java, Ada, etc. CTI can developed software for Linux, Windows, embedded real-time, and other operating systems. CTI uses Unified Modeling Language (UML), XML Schema Documentation (XSD), and other modern modeling and design languages. Finally, CTI delivers extensive documentation in compliance with the latest IEEE and DoD standards.

Operational Support
CTI provides operational support during all phases of program and system development. From providing inputs during the requirements and design process, to being liaison between engineers and users, to performing rigorous operational test and evaluation, to supporting a system through deployment and use, CTI provides full lifecycle operational support.
CTI is extremely dedicated to our user base and we continuously strive to ensure that the systems and capabilities we design and develop are desired, relevant, and useful. CTI does not want our systems “gathering dust” but to be used each and every day by the warfighters and security personnel we support. To this end, CTI ensures that a large portion of its overall staff is operational in nature. This balance allows our engineers to fully understand the problem domains within which we build solutions.
CTI is willing and capable of supporting deployed systems as well whether they operate within the continental United States or on foreign soil.
