NASA: Tell us about your company’s history and its capabilities.

DSI: We are a premier engineering support company dedicated to engineering, science, analysis, research, and education. The company is a Service-Disabled Veteran–Owned Small Business that focuses on the technical support of complex customer requirements in the areas of safety, environmental, engineering, strategic planning, program management, and medical/public health. Since 2007, DSI has provided technical support to NASA in numerous engineering capacities such as safety, propulsion, stress, thermal, design, mechanical, hardware, and guidance and navigation. At the Kennedy Space center (KSC), DSI performs safety engineering and analysis, reliability, systems safety, and operations safety support through the S-MASS II contract. At Marshall Space Flight center (MSFC), DSI has three technical support contracts. In 2009, DSI received a MSFC Small Business Subcontractor Excellence Award, presented for the company’s exemplary support to NASA.

NASA: How many employees does your company have?

DSI: DSI has 40 employees.

NASA: How long have you supported the SLS Program?

DSI: DSI has supported the SLS Program since its inception and is proud to have provided past engineering support to NASA’s Constellation Program as well.

NASA: Describe what services or support you provided to the SLS Program.

DSI: We support the NASA MSFC Space Launch System Program Office on the launch vehicle stage adapter (LVSA) contract. The LVSA is part of the evolvable SLS configuration. DSI also supports the Spacecraft and Payload Integration and Evolution (SPIE) Office, which is an integral part of the Space Launch System, and is responsible for the management, planning and integration of spacecraft, including the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) and pay-loads in support of the SLS vehicle.

NASA: How has your business evolved or grown supporting the SLS Program?

DSI: Many of our capabilities in Stress Engineering and Finite Element Analysis and Reliability and Maintainability Engineering have become more robust due to the critical nature of the SLS project and its complexities. Joining the SLS team enabled DSI to continue supporting the NASA’s historic and scientific missions and contributing to the United States’s prominence in space.

NASA: Describe future endeavors for your small business with NASA and/or the Federal Government.

DSI: NASA is a unique and exciting customer to support—the Agency’s aeronautic, space, scientific, and exploratory mission pushes the envelope and continues to be a source of national identity and global recognition. DSI endeavors to increase support to NASA in technical engineering across a greater number of Centers. The company also wants to engage in an increased number of NASA projects, through subcontracting to outstanding primes and, where a business case supports, by pursing prime engineering support opportunities.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama (January 21, 2016) – Davis Strategic Innovations was honored to have Dr. Jim Davis selected as a Board Member of the Army Space and Missile Defense Association at ASMDA’s 2016 Annual Membership and Award Luncheon held at Von Braun Center’s North Hall.The audience of over 306 included many dignitaries including US Representative Mo Brooks and other senior level public servants, multiple General Officers and government Senior Executive Service members from Redstone Arsenal.

Mr. Al Kemmet, 2015 ASMDA President, stated that as ASMDA completes its 21th year, “we can be very proud of the role that ASMDA plays in advancing a common understanding of the vital importance of space and missile defense systems to our national defense.  He explained, “the Air, Space, and Missile Defense Association was formed in 1995, right here in Huntsville, as a non-profit, non-political educational and scientific organization with the mission to promote the security of our Nation by providing programs and support for activities that contribute to advancing the vital importance of air, space, and missile defense systems.”  He also mentioned, “our objective is to foster communications and relationships between government activities with responsibilities for, or interests in air, space, and missile defense; local government organizations; and local industries.”

“It’s truly an honor,” Dr. Davis noted, “to help promote the defense of our Nation through strong space and missile defense programs. Through a common understanding of the importance of space and missile defense systems to our national defense, we can encourage our nation and its citizens to place space and missile defense in the forefront of our advocacy efforts, fiscal budgets and technological efforts. The ASMDA’s charter allows us to come together to do just that.”

DSI was awarded a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) subcontract to SAIC in support of the Software Engineering Directorates’ (SED) Center of Model-Based Acquisition and Technology (CoMBAT) team. The SED team of civil servants and contractors provides world-class system and software engineering life cycle management support to customers and warfighters. SED is a subordinate organization to U. S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), which is itself a subordinate organization to the Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) – the Army’s focal point for providing research, development, and engineering technology and services for aviation and missile platforms across the lifecycle.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama (December 2, 2014) — Davis Strategic Innovations, Inc. (DSI), is proud to have played a part in the recent launch of NASA’s Orion capsule. 

The spacecraft launched on Dec. 5 at 6:05 a.m. (CST), atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. 

This is a new spacecraft series that NASA hopes will take astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit by the 2020s to an asteroid, and, ultimately, Mars. Orion passed its first test, flying 3,604 miles beyond Earth and lapping the planet twice. 

One of DSI’s team members was aboard the ship to recover the module as Orion re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and landed in the Pacific Ocean 275 miles west of Baja, Calif., about 4.5 hours after launch.

“At DSI, it is a privilege to support the historic Orion launch,” said Andrew Davis, DSI’s Director of Operations. “Every person supporting NASA should be proud of their contribution to this next great step in America’ space program. I will tell you, I am a little envious of our DSI team member who was on a ship in the Pacific recovering the Orion capsule!”
