Solutions to problems facing military as well as business management today often require sophisticated techniques which are beyond the scope of in-house capabilities.

CONSULTEC applies systems analysis techniques which effectively integrate operations research, cost-efectiveness - analysis and engineering trade-offs with other basic disciplines. The objective. . . and the result ... is - an optimum balance between effective- ness and cost in complex, modern weapons and other systems.

Because of its independent nature and diverse staff background, CONSULTEC

is an organization productive of new ideas and innovations in many areas of science and technology. Presently, for the Department of Defense, its engineers are performing cost-effectiveness analyses and engineering evaluations to achieve various levels of submarine systems capability in command and control, propulsion and communications areas. Design review of a future generation sonar and an economic and engineering study of the feasibility of using nuclear power for a modern icebreaker are other problems currently under study. CONSULTEC has a continuing need for people

experienced in systems analysis, operations research, cost-effectiveness, engineering and economics. These people will enable us to con- tinue providing management and engineering services in advanced technological areas to indus- try and government ... wherever the need exists.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

What will it mean to you?

ARINC Research, in the late fifties, pioneered the organization and development of system effectiveness concepts. These concepts vitally influence today's system managers in government and industry, providing them with a quantitative means for measuring overall effectiveness.

Today, ARINC Research is applying and refining a new discipline which employs advanced techniques of science, engineering, and management to guide the creation and use of optimum systems. Optimum to the user's needs ... and to his resources. We call this new discipline System Architecture.*

It is an exciting new career field for the creative engineer or scientist who would welcome the opportunity to practice in a thoroughly professional, objective environ- ment with a top-flight technical team, free of any manufacturer's interest. If you are an operations analyst, mathematician, programmer/analyst, or systems engineer who is thoroughly familiar with advanced techniques of operations research in one of the following areas: communications, command and control, navigation, guidance and display systems, digital computers, radar; contact the Manager, Personnel Serv- ices. Learn of the many challenging career opportunities now being offered nation- wide by ARINC Research.
