Systems Definition, Inc. (SDI), established in 2002, is a key player in providing advanced software development and technical services primarily for the Department of Defense (DoD), First Responder organizations, and various commercial clients. The company began with a small team, focusing initially on projects that supported advanced computing and communications within the DoD. Over the years, SDI has expanded its service offerings to include system planning, technical documentation, and the creation of innovative software applications designed to enhance operational efficiency and safety.
SDI is especially renowned for its contributions to the First Responder community, where it has developed high-utility software applications that focus on accountability and safety objectives. A significant accomplishment includes the deployment of the Electronic BF-4 web application for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), which has revolutionized personnel scheduling and accountability processes. This state-of-the-art application replaces outdated paper-based forms, providing a streamlined and user-friendly interface accessible on the FDNY intranet.
In addition to the BF-4 application, SDI offers a suite of fireground accountability applications tailored to the unique needs of fire departments, enhancing the safety and operational capabilities of First Responders. Their software leverages integrated communication systems to ensure quick access to critical personnel accountability data during emergency situations.
Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, SDI’s depth of experience and commitment to innovation has established it as a trusted partner in defense and safety-related initiatives. With a focus on collaboration, SDI works closely with clients to deliver custom solutions that can be adapted as technology evolves, ensuring ongoing effectiveness and responsiveness to the unique challenges faced in emergency management and defense operations.
