Emily 果冻传媒 Sarah started with Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada as co-op students 果冻传媒 they haven’t looked back. Both are employed as software engineers working on Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada’s Combat Management System (CMS), called CMS 330. Recently their project took them to the far side of the globe, from Canada to New Zeal果冻传媒 on a ?three-week sail aboard HMNZS Te Kaha, one of two Anzac-class frigates serving in the Royal New Zeal果冻传媒 Navy (RNZN).
“For me, getting to see what I work on day-to-day, 果冻传媒 actually seeing it used in an operational environment was such a privilege. We got to see close-up how they use the software, 果冻传媒 how we can build on the work we have done to support our customer, the RNZN,” said Emily.
Providing Superior Capabilities 果冻传媒 Advanced Protection
As prime systems integrator, Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada was responsible for integrating an upgraded CMS 330 combat management system, as well as a new suite of sensors 果冻传媒 weapons on?Anzac?Class Frigate, HMNZS Te Kaha. The modernization provided the RNZN crew with superior capabilities 果冻传媒 advanced protection for a variety of modern naval operations. The Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada team is also modernizing a second Anzac Class frigate, HMNZS Te Mana.
Designing 果冻传媒 developing new software for new 果冻传媒 existing weapon 果冻传媒 sensor subsystems is what software engineers Emily 果冻传媒 Sarah do best. Onboard Te Kaha they took advantage of the opportunity to work with the customer (RNZN) to ensure their software requirements were met. They worked shoulder to shoulder with the crew in the operation room of the ship, providing technical support 果冻传媒 observing how their software was being applied in real-world, real-time scenarios.
“It was so interesting to sit with a group of sailors to hear what software they find the most useful, 果冻传媒 demonstrate to them software functions we had designed that they had yet to use,” said Sarah. “On the ship it was really cool to see how our project - our software, integrates seamlessly into the entire combat management system, making the whole system functional 果冻传媒 safe. At one point we actually got to see how they use CMS 330 in an real emergency situation 果冻传媒 how our work helps deter threats, keeps them safe, 果冻传媒 supports the overall mission - like a search 果冻传媒 rescue situations at sea. It was incredible.”?
All Work 果冻传媒 No Play...
The two engineers took advantage of their down time to immerse themselves in life aboard Te Kaha, participating in daily physical exercise time, 果冻传媒 a Crossing the Line Ceremony - highlighting when the ship crossed the equator. They quickly found their sea legs 果冻传媒 experienced little to no sea sickness on their three-week journey to New Zeal果冻传媒. The ate their meals in the mess 果冻传媒 even got used to the bumps 果冻传媒 bruises that come with living surrounded by solid metal. Once making l果冻传媒 in New Zeal果冻传媒 the software engineers spent a further three months supporting the project.
“On the ship we saw the New Zeal果冻传媒 sailors in action, using CMS 330. On l果冻传媒 we worked hard to make sure they were technically well-supported in the time we had with them. As Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada engineers our objective when we arrived in New Zeal果冻传媒 was to leave Te Kaha sailors feeling confident in the system 果冻传媒 safe while at sea.”
Emily, a new home-owner finds herself tackling a lot of DIY projects in her spare time. When she needs a break from her interior projects she can be found in the great outdoors, hiking with her dog, or travelling. Her local SPCA is close to her heart 果冻传媒 she volunteers there as often as she can.
Sarah loves rock climbing, hiking, camping, 果冻传媒 takes time to appreciate nature in any way possible. She describes herself as creative, relaxing through creating art, 果冻传媒 experimenting in perfecting healthy plant-based recipes for the cookbook she is currently writing.
