Our Story
We blend agility with rigor to develop new technologies and transition them for operational use, with a focus on the rapid deployment and adaptation of robust, heterogeneous, distributed systems to improve National Security. Instead of building custom solutions designed to address a single mission, we build toolchains that our partners (in both Government and Industry) use to generate tailored implementations for their various operational challenges. The tools we develop apply to many domains, including system integration, distributed tracking / data fusion, coordinated Electronic Warfare (EW), command and control (C2), and distributed cyber-networking operations.
