Tao of Systems Integration, Inc. ("Tao Systems") is an engineering firm in Virginia founded in 1994 by a group of innovative engineers and program managers with over 20 years individual experience in developing and managing innovative aeronautical monitoring and control systems for civilian, military and industrial customers. Our mission is to provide high-value solutions to the industry and government for vehicle safety, reliability and performance. We develop and provide high-performance electronics and algorithms for sensors, monitoring and control systems. As a result, the company has:world-wide customersseveral awards and contracts from NASA, US Air Force, US Navy and DARPAover 10 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II Awardsover a dozen patents and patents pending in measurement electronics and flow diagnosticsSince the core technology applies to more than just aircraft, Tao Systems has customers in the marine and fluid transport engineering fields as well. Our senior staff of engineers are leaders in their fields whether fluid dynamics or electrical engineering, and are actively involved in the cutting-edge of science and technology. Following are a sample of projects that we have worked on within the last few years:real-time monitoring system for unsteady aero-/hydrodynamic loads and momentsreal-time aeroelasticity measurement systeminlet flow control system for Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV)underwater blade optimization through advanced sensors and biomimetic actuatorsunderwater shear stress sensorshigh-sensitivity strain gage instrumenthigh-sensitivity pressure sensor arrayInnovations founded upon fundamental principles in electrical engineering and fluid dynamics allow us to utilize the inventions for aeronautical, marine and fluid transport applications. Such inventions have resulted in independently verified high-performance products ranging from instrumentation measuring temperature and multicomponent velocity fluctuations to aircraft air speed sensors that can measure low speeds that pressure-based air data systems fail to measure. Our familiarity and experience in developing leading-edge technology in a variety of industries enable us to bring a whole new level of expertise and ability to the table. Combining experience and technology with our singular focus on improving vehicle performance, reliability and safety allows us to deliver creative and effective solutions while at the same addressing the basic market needs of our clients. Typical end products of Tao Systems' work include analytical techniques and results, experimental data, engineering models, design recommendations, software, numerical solutions, prototype hardware, hardware designs, and integrated solutions. In addition to developing and selling its high-end flow measurement products, Tao Systems intends to continue its tradition of innovation and excellence in pursuing contract opportunities in R&D support services. As an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business, Tao Systems can pursue partnerships with other meritorious companies to provide the Government with the best engineering support and value.
