Kalman is providing corporate level system safety engineering support to the US Air Force Space Command, Space and Missile System Center (SMC), Office of the Chief of Safety at Los Angeles Air Force Base. The Office of the Chief of Safety is responsible for the success of the SMC Commanderʼs Mishap Prevention (System Safety) Program. In the role of a “Staff System Safety Engineer” Kalman engineers are currently developing, implementing and teaching SMC system safety policy and practice. This effort directly supports the Air Force mishap prevention program for tens of billions of dollars of government assets.

Kalman has designed and implemented the Software System Safety program for NASAʼs Dryden Flight Research Center. Comprehensive analyses and audits have been performed on the X-40 and X-ACT projects. Supporting analyses and audits of other projects have been performed.
Kalman, as a member of the Dryden Software Engineering Process Improvement Group wrote the software improvement plan. This plan defined how Dryden will improve all aspects of software design, implementation, test and operation. Software System Safety is an integral part of the plan. Kalman held the leading position in the improvement of Software and Software System Safety at Dryden..

X-ACT, a modified F-15 aircraft test bed (NASA 837), was developed to conduct advanced research on actuator systems for use on the International Space Station Crew Rescue Vehicle (CRV). |
Kalman staff members have performed System Safety engineering analyses on military ordnance in accordance with MIL-STD 882B. They have conducted Error Mode and Effect Analysis (EMEA) on hand assembled sub-munition fuses. This effort involved direct field observation and consultation with assembly personnel and manufacturing engineers.
