Company Background:  GBL Systems Corporation was formed in June of 1990 based on the founders’ extensive development experience with real-time executives and operating systems for the Navy’s F-14D program. Since its inception, GBL has provided systems and technology services in support of the United States Navy and several defense prime contractors at the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Weapons Division at Point Mugu, California and Long Island, New York. 

In support of the company’s core business, GBL provides software and systems design at their west coast headquarters for real-time embedded systems on the F-14 and EA-6B aircraft platforms. Within the last few years, GBL has expanded with East Coast Operations supporting Lockheed Martin on the D5 Backfit Navigation Subsystem Development program.

GBL’s expertise remains centered in the avionics domain with an emphasis on systems and software development. The service areas we offer stem from our strength in computer architecture and operating systems that have enabled the company to take a leading role in the system/software requirements definition and software design efforts on a majority of the subsystems integrated onto the F-14 aircraft. GBL’s expertise in military software connectivity has enabled the company to extend its role into the definition of avionics systems architecture and subsystem interfaces.  GBL also offers other professional services to its customers, including project management, financial planning and analysis, accounting and auditing, and strategic business planning services.

Past Performance: Past performance has earned GBL extremely high marks in customer satisfaction and reliability.  GBL has developed a highly regarded reputation as an integration and trouble-shooting house, resulting in assignments across multiple aircraft platforms and avionics subsystems ranging from software implementation of crucial communications & control functionality to problem investigations the Navy has deemed "un-resolvable".  Additional services have included development of test support software (subsystem simulators/emulators and automated test drivers), feasibility studies and analysis of flight test data.  Previous projects included the baseline F-14B Upgrade conversion program followed by the integration of an Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) subsystem, a Control & Display Navigation Unit (CDNU) subsystem, and the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), a GPS guided weapon.  The JDAM project had an aggressive schedule in which the first weapon drop was accomplished within an 18-month period after system conception.  Ongoing projects include developing artificial intelligent 'agent' based combat decision support aids for the EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, software updates for EA-6B 1553 bus problem resolution, and providing consultation services for the continue support of the F-14 aircraft.
