Dedicated Computing named World Class Supplier by Northrop Grumman

    WAUKESHA, WI, December 19, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Northrop Grumman has honored Dedicated Computing LLC as a "World Class Supplier" for work in the development and production of a ruggedized computer system.

The corporate level award, presented in California on December 4, 2009, recognized combined engineering support and supply chain management efforts for a new line of deployable radar processing systems. In an official statement, Northrop Grumman acknowledged the aggressive timeline of the program, and commended Dedicated Computing for managing complex and changing configuration details from project inception to delivery.

"It is doubtful that another supplier could exceed their schedule performance," the statement noted, "while providing the same level of quality."

The computer system addressed overlapping demands of high data throughput plus advanced graphical processing. The requirements imposed strict limits on the size, weight and power footprint, and set a tough MIL STD profile for the device.

Northrop Grumman's statement reinforced the pre-sale and post-sale support offered by Dedicated Computing. "In helping us incorporate the systems into our product line, they provided loaner evaluation units, hardware upgrades and extensive access to the experts on their engineering team."

Dedicated Computing CEO Don Schlidt echoed the importance of providing a complete solution. "Commercial Off-the-Shelf Technology provides important supply chain advantages. But, it also requires an extra level of expertise in both computer and application design. Our design and validation work ensured that a COTS solution would meet Northrop Grumman requirements, as well as cost and availability demands."
