Wagner Profile

Daniel H. Wagner Associates, Inc. is an employee owned company founded in 1963. Our corporate office is located in Exton, Pennsylvania, with offices in Hampton, Virginia and Vienna, Virginia. Wagner Associates maintains a technical staff of the highest quality that designs, develops, implements, markets, and provides training for custom scientific software. We provide highly effective and useful solutions to complex and technically challenging operational problems for defense and non-defense customers. Wagner Associates is particularly experienced at implementing sophisticated mathematical algorithms in software modules that can be used effectively by military personnel in real-world operations. We work closely with our customers to ensure that their needs are satisfied and that they can effectively utilize our software products in performing their mission and achieving their goals.

As a company and as individuals, Wagner Associates has received widespread recognition for outstanding contributions to both government and private industry. Wagner Associates invented (starting in 1972 with the CASP Search and Rescue system) and has continued to further develop the field of computer assisted search (CAS). These CAS systems use highly sophisticated mathematical algorithms to evaluate and optimize the effectiveness of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Surface Warfare (SUW), Air Warfare (AW), and Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. In particular, the Navy has used these systems very effectively in real-world and exercise operations. These CAS systems were the first implementations of what are now known as “particle filters”. Wagner Associates was also the originator of the IOU Kalman Filter (aka Maneuvering Target Statistical Tracker (MTST)), which has been utilized in many DoD systems such as the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) and the Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TWCS).

Quality Assurance (QA) program

Daniel H. Wagner Associates rigorously applies quality assurance in every phase of our projects.  During the development process we employ software configuration management, using tools such as CVS and RCS.  As we develop and continue to evolve our software systems, our software engineers utilize both unit testing and system testing techniques to verify that all code modifications result in a correctly functioning system.  Once the software has passed this initial phase of testing, we next have one of our quality assurance team members apply another round of system testing.  When enhancing existing software, this system testing often involves running a large regression test suite in order to verify successful execution and agreement of the outputs to what was expected.  In other instances, the testing may involve exercising a graphical user interface.  Additionally, throughout each iteration of the software life cycle, our software engineers meet regularly with the project manager to guarantee that the implementation matches the original system specification.

In order to further ensure the quality of our products, we also employ internal code reviews to verify software correctness.  While individual developers frequently review and revise their own code, we also have software engineers who were not involved in the development of a particular project review the code for that project. This approach results in refactoring motivated by a variety of perspectives that creates a more robust, maintainable, and understandable system as a finished product.
