ACME Worldwide Enterprises
(ACME), is a professional services company focused
on providing customers with life-cycle solutions
for engineering and management services. Incorporated
in 1994, and SDB//Hub-Zone certified in 1998,
the Company has successfully completed numerous
contracts in both the public and private sectors.
ACME’s core business is derived from
government contracting with the United States Navy,
Air Force, and Army. Our solid management team and
organizational structure has repeatedly been praised
for its ability to understand customer challenges
while developing elegant, practical solutions, for
a myriad of engineering and management requirements.
Ninety percent of the ACME’s business is derived
from outside New Mexico, and we have developed and
utilized leading edge technologies to communicate
with and manage both customers and employees working
on multiple projects in diverse locations. Emphasizing
strong communications to better meet customer expectations,
we have committed resources and infrastructure (especially
Internet-based IT technologies) to manage contracts,
mitigate performance risk, and deliver timely and

RELEVANT CONTRACTS:
Naval
Air Maintenance Trainer (NAMT) Rework Program
Locations: Oceana, VA; Norfolk, VA; Cherry Point, NC; New River, NC; Jacksonville,
FL; Mayport, FL; Whidbey Island, WA; Camp Pendleton, CA; North Island, CA;
Lemoore, CA; Tinker AFB, OK
Functional Areas: 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.16, 3.18, 3.19
ACME is tasked to address maintenance trainer discrepancies across the entire
spectrum of NAVAIR maintenance training devices. The effort includes:
•
Evaluation
of trainers to ascertain and report condition, usability, reliability
and provide recommendations for repair or modification
• Repair of existing trainers to address faulty equipment, obsolete parts,
or out of tolerance performance; includes fabricating replacements for
obsolete components, reverse engineering to identify currently available parts
and components, and re-designing trainer-unique printed circuit boards
• Refurbishment of trainers to eliminate obsolete parts and extend the trainer
life. This typically involves disassembly, renovation, re-assembly, and
testing as well as validating and updating documentation (typically the trainer
Manual of Operation and Maintenance Instructions (MOMI))
• Modification/update of trainers to include new equipment and avionics
to ensure the trainers are concurrent with fleet configuration; typically
includes introducing new avionics and the development of trainer fault insertion.
• Modification of trainer support equipment and facilities.
ACME develops
work plans, provides hardware and software engineering support, provides manufacturing
support, performs quality inspections, develops test procedures, performs operational
checks, and updates trainer/training device technical documentation. More

EA-6B
Flight Control Trainer Conversion
Location: Whidbey Island, WA
Functional Areas: 3.2, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 3.16, 3.18, 3.19
ACME was tasked to “replace existing A-6 Wing Sections, Control Surfaces
and Flight Control Assemblies with EA-6B Wing Sections, Control Surfaces
and Flight Control Assemblies. Where replacement EA-6B components are not available,
suitable substitutes must be obtained (purchased, manufactured, etc.) and
installed so as to duplicate the flight control functions of the EA-6B Aircraft.
Any modifications to the existing trainer frame/structure assembly that are
required to accommodate the EA-6B components shall be accomplished. The trainer
will be equipped with an Instructor’s Console which will have fault insertion
and removal capabilities for the trainer to meet EA-6B Curriculum requirements.
Update the MOMI as required to reflect the updated EA-6B Flight Control Trainer
Configuration. The updated MOMI shall include assembly and interconnection
drawings. The drawings shall be developed in accordance with best commercial
practices. Data sheets for all trainer unique parts shall be provided. ACME
developed work plans, provided engineering and manufacturing support, performed
quality inspections, developed test procedures, performed operational checks,
and updated trainer/training device technical documentation. More

KC-135 Boom Operator Trainer
Locations: Altus AFB, OK
Functional Areas: 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.16, 3.18, 3.19
ACME, with program technical responsibility, was initially tasked to evaluate
the two trainers to identify a path to restore the two trainers to operational
status while simultaneously improving system reliability, maintainability,
and supportability. The results of the evaluation indicated that, essentially,
the entire trainer needed to be refurbished and upgraded. Approximately eight
months after the submittal of the evaluation report, a contract option to completely
upgrade the two trainers was exercised by the Air Force.
The major features of the trainer upgrade addressed the following areas:
• Replaced the existing host computer and re-hosted the trainer aerodynamic
code on a new PC-based host computer
• Developed a new graphical user interface based instructor operator station
• Replaced the single channel visual system with a new PC based image generator
and rear projection screen display system
• Developed a two channel, electric control loading system to provide force
feedback
• Replaced the aural cueing system and install a digital intercom system
which matches the aircraft configuration.
Completely refurbished the student station while simultaneously replacing all
trainer instrumentation, signal I/O, wiring, and cabling. ACME performed the
requirements analysis, engineering design, visual modeling, reliability and
maintainability analysis, engineering support, documentation, and sustainment
of the system. More

KC-10 Boom Operator Trainer
Locations: Fairfield AFB, CA and McGuire AFB, NJ
Functional Areas: 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.16, 3.18, 3.19
ACME is tasked to identify, recommend, develop, design, fabricate, document,
and support hardware and software to restore and improve the supportability
and maintainability of the devices, without degrading performance fidelity.
Systems include Control Loading, Host Computer System, Visual System, Aerodynamic,
and other subsystems. ACME provides the necessary system engineering, test
engineering, materials, services, equipment, facilities, testing, technical,
supervisory, logistics, manufacturing, and clerical support. They also perform
system engineering to define the operational performance requirements and functional
capability of the modifications, using open-architecture products for life
cycle cost advantages, to satisfy operational and functional capability requirements,
and improve current supportability, maintainability, or logistics capabilities. More
