( Jan 2010 - Jun 2010 )
* Contracted back to the Design Support Group for work on several projects for the military.
* Used Pro-E Wildfire 3 (XP) to help design and model the anti-vibration mount for the optical sensor package to be used on the un-manned ground vehicles.
* I also worked on the power supply used in the Longbow FCR (Fire Control Radar) system used on the Apache helicopter. I was responsible for modelling the original version in Pro-E (previously done on paper and another cad system) then began making design changes for the new version.
