Wyle Labs Selects MSC.Software's MSC.MasterKey License to Improve
Virtual Product Development SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 11
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the
leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today
announced that Wyle Laboratories has purchased an MSC.MasterKey
Licensing System from MSC.Software for use in support of the
Airborne Laser Program (ABL). "The diverse engineering services
provided by Wyle Laboratories are a perfect example of the reasons
why flexible software licensing is critical to product development
programs with multiple contractors and in-house personnel located
in different places," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief
executive officer of MSC.Software. "By having engineers at
different companies and locations working with the same tools, you
can dramatically decrease the non- value-added time and cost of
translating models and results and increase collaboration within
the engineering teams. This is essential for distributed
engineering programs like ABL. We are excited to be part of this
program and to be working with the engineers at Wyle and the other
contractors who are bringing this technology from the virtual world
to the physical world." "We did an extensive trade study to
determine our present and future analysis requirements and
concluded that the MSC.MasterKey Licensing System would best fit
our current and future requirements as well. The diverse and
evolving engineering environment we operate in requires us to
provide capabilities that are compatible with our various customers
and their unique engineering requirements. The MSC.MasterKey
Licensing System would allow us the flexibility to purchase
additional capabilities at a later date as our requirements evolve
without making any current capabilities obsolete," said Ricardo
Reyes, Wyle Program Manager. The Airborne Laser program is a joint
program with the Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Air Force, and
Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Wyle is a
subcontractor to Boeing providing general engineering services. The
goal of the ABL program is to design the first directed energy
combat aircraft, which relies on a megawatt-class laser weapon
system carried on a specially configured 747-400F aircraft to
autonomously detect, track and destroy hostile ballistic missiles.
