BAE Systems Capabilities

Functional Category 4 – Software Development

BAE Systems has the resources, core competencies, capabilities, and experience essential to providing support to the full life cycle of software development services, including: concept development and feasibility; systems analysis and requirements definition, software design and code development; integration and testing, deployment and change management; and production and support.  When you work with BAE Systems, you benefit from our strong industry expertise, key vendor alliances, and DHS Small Business Trusted Forum partnerships to gain access to resources and knowledge that cover the entire spectrum of software development capability.

Our success in designing, implementing, and maintaining software solutions is attributable to four key factors.   First, we combine our knowledge of Government standards and policies, such as the President’s Management Agenda, Clinger-Cohen and FISMA, with robust technical capabilities to provide innovative and customer-focused, information technology solutions.  Second, we have made substantial investments in establishing proven, CMMI certified, repeatable methodologies and processes which consistently enable us to develop and implement mission-critical solutions on-time and on-budget. BAE Systems has CMMI Level 5 programs in three business divisions, with over 60% of our development community operating in Level 3 environments or higher. Third, we are product agnostic and have developed a product assessment methodology to select the right combination of development and support tools to meet our customer’s specific needs.  And fourth, we work in partnership with our customers resulting in tailored solutions aligned with our customer’s strategies, goals, and requirements.

BAE Systems possesses broad experience in working with rapidly changing application environments and system architectures.   Our software development practices adhere to the systems-design approach and incorporate life cycle business process analysis and workflow modeling to produce accurate requirements documents and sound design strategies. Whether modernizing or migrating legacy information and database systems or developing new web-based applications, our approach yields robust, efficient, scalable, user-centric designs, as referenced by our work with such customers as the United States Marine Corp. Department of Commerce, United States Army Reserve, Department of Justice, DISA, and the national security community.

BAE Systems has deployed and supported thousands of software systems for Federal customers, over 50 secure portals for federal and DOD organizations, and hundreds of smaller web portal, web service, and information sharing implementations.   Utilizing CMMI processes, our strong Program Management experience, and strategic consulting practices in Information Assurance and Enterprise Architecture, coupled with the deployment of automated testing, change management, and application monitoring tools, BAE Systems can assure our customers of rapid and high quality deployments and on-going support of software systems.
