History Systems Technology, Inc. was founded in 1957 as a small R&D company devoted to the study of the behavior of dynamic systems, including ground and aerospace vehicles, and the human operators attempting to control them. Over the years these efforts have spawned a wide range of leading edge research studies into vehicle dynamics, automatic and manual vehicle control and the detailed behavior of the human operator including navigation, guidance, control, decision making and biodynamic response. This experience has included research in multiple areas of expertise, and resulted in major contributions in the analysis and simulation of vehicle dynamics, automatic and manual control theory, human factors, human-machine interaction and aircraft and ground vehicle safety. Experience STI's staff have an average experience of over 20 years and all possess advanced degrees.The research we have conducted for government and private industry has resulted in over 700 technical reports and scientific papers. Our research has also resulted in the development of a range of unique hardware and software products, several of which are currently marketed commercially. Software products include programs for control system and dynamic system analysis, vehicle dynamics simulation, systems identification and signal processing. Hardware products include a driving research simulator, a parachute flight training simulator, and apparatus for assessing human operator impairment. Expertise STI has extensive staff expertise in vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, control systems design and analysis, system identification, human-machine interaction, human factors in vehicle operations, human operator impairment, vehicle testing and the specification, design and development of computer and person-in-the-loop simulation. Our research experience encompasses a wide range of vehicles: Aerospace Surface Marine  CTOL, STOL, Rotorcraft  Automobiles  High Speed Ships  Space Shuttle, Boosters  Trucks, Buses  Submarines  Hypersonic, NASP  All Terrain Vehicles  Underwater Towed, Autonomous, and Remotely Operated Vehicles  Parachutes  Military (Tracked)  Craneships  RPVs & Missiles  Rail Vehicles  Aircraft Carriers We also offer a range of basic research expertise in technical and behavioral science areas, including:  Control Theory  Statistics, Error Propagation  Flight Control System Design  System Identification  Aerodynamics  Experimental Design and Analysis  Dynamics  Human Factors  Handling Qualities  Manual Control  Mathematical Modeling  Human Performance Measurement  Forensic Engineering  Simulation, including Visual Displays and Controls  Model and Full-Scale Vehicle Testing  Human-Machine Interface Throughout our corporate history STI has pursued a fundamental understanding of human-machine systems, including a thor ough understanding of the behavior of both the human operator and machine system. This pursuit has led us to develop a range of research techniques, including analysis, simulation and field test procedures. The result of these efforts has been a broad understanding of human operator and vehicle behavior, the human operator centered requirements for command and control, and human factors considerations such as the human-machine interface and task analysis.
