An Article on ‘Project Management – The ‘What’ and the ‘How’ from Mistral Solutions

Traditional approaches to project management emphasize on long-term planning and the ability to manage risk. The key to a successful project is in the planning. The first step while starting on a project of any scale is to plan out the project meticulously. There are several instances where project planning is ignored and team members dive straight into the project leading to disastrous results – project delays, running up of costs, confusion on responsibilities and more.

This article focuses on the key steps to keep in mind while planning for a project.

A Whitepaper on Building a powerful, flexible and cost-effective multi-function console solution from Curtiss-Wright:

Requirements for the implementation of a multi-function console integrating radar video applications include high-resolution radar video acquisition, fast and accurate extraction of plots and tracks from the digitized radar video, and high-quality multiple-window radar scan conversion onto the operator’s console.

This white paper will discuss how modern radar acquisition, scan conversion and tracking products can be used to build a powerful, flexible and cost-effective integrated multi-function console solution with minimal customer development effort.
