“Making Hardware Integration Easy”

HHITS

Hardware Integration Services

The Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST) Hardware Integration Tool Set (HHITS™) is a web-based Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) tool that models hardware systems built using standards such as HOST, SOSA™, and OpenVPX™.

Using an innovative graphical user interface, engineers perform integration by:
 
  • searching and selecting hardware modules from
  • the integrated repository
  • virtually integrating modules 
  • identifying integration issues by applying rule sets 
  • mitigating issues 
  • capturing the design details
 
All of this is done prior to acquiring any hardware, saving time and money. 

Key Features

  • Web-based tool for instant access
  • A repository of hardware components to search and use for building a hardware system
  • A repository of rules (requirements) that a hardware configuration can be evaluated against
  • Visual indications of incompatibilities 
  • Report generation
  • Top-down or bottoms-up integration
  • Supports the full hardware integration lifecycle from design to sustainment

Benefits of Using HHITS™

System Integrators

  • Don’t have to analyze hundreds of pages of hardware specifications, but rather search the component database
  • Virtually design a hardware system and mitigate any incompatibilities before purchasing hardware
  • Save system configurations and share with other integrators, program managers, and procurement officers
  • Perform “what-if” scenarios for technology refresh opportunities

Program Managers

  • Visually see the status of a system build and how it is meeting the system requirements
  • Share a system configuration with other programs

Procurement Officers

  • Utilize built in repository to streamline the acquisition process
  • Perform simplified obsolete module replacement
