Enterprise Data Systems and IT Operations

GST has decades of experience developing and supporting enterprise-level systems. These include enterprise-level data archives, major components of NOAA and NASA ground systems, and websites for broad user engagement.

Sensor Engineering

GST supports instrument calibration and validation of operational sensors from multiple Earth observation satellites, develops sensor data processing algorithms, perform cal/val, and provide image processing, and develops software and ground support equipment control of planetary spaceflight mission mass spectrometer and gas chromatograph instrumentation.

Cloud Computing Solutions

GST designed and implemented the ABoVE Science Cloud that combines high-performance computing and high-capacity storage for large-scale modeling and analysis of remote sensing data. On our NOAA Mesonet project, we collected and processed weather data from thousands of mobile and stationary sensors using cloud computing, storage, and processing services.

Commercial Weather Applications

GST's commercial satellite ground systems applications, DirectMet®2 and DirectMet®2 Cloud™, provide our customers with low-cost customized satellite imagery and products. Our WAFS-METLAB2™ meteorological workstation integrates worldwide data with multi-window displays, alerts, and customized macro overlays.

Peer Review and Program Support

GST performs peer review support; recruits SMEs and administers peer review panels. We support multiple research areas and provide business and transformational support activities through strategic planning, policy development, user engagement, property management, and project management.

Medical Device Consulting

GST provides technical consulting, engineering testing services, and regulatory and grant support and conducts testing in ISO 13485-2016–certified laboratory. We focus on medical device consulting in the areas of device durability, biomechanical compatibility, medical image processing, clinical research, and regulatory strategy.

Project, Program, and Portfolio Management

GST's management professionals support our clients' management efforts at the project, program, and portfolio levels. We perform policy analysis and strategic planning, and provide recommendations for a holistic approach to manage, collect, and track critical schedule, resource, and risk information. We link programmatic, financial, workforce, and risk data to better understand interdependencies. Our SMEs also develop program-level Integrated Master Schedules and implement Risk Management processes. Our portfolio management activities improve resource allocations across multiple products within an organization.

IT Security

GST partners with its federal, state, and county Government customers to meet their security goals so they can keep their assets protected and mission on track. Since 1998, GST has provided network management and security support for facilities across all 55 of West Virginia’s counties. Responsibilities include ensuring the operations and security of more than 50 routers, 150 switches, wireless systems, and a variety of firewall appliances for more than 1,500 users. GST builds IT security in all IT systems that we design, build, and operate, from individual networks to enterprise-level systems such as NOAA CLASS and NASA NRESS.
