Advanced Research & Development Services

In a fast-moving world where adversaries are constantly looking to undermine our National Security interests, advancing US capabilities has never been more vital. Our armed forces and the Intelligence Community must stay ahead of our enemies by keeping up with emerging technology that can be deployed on and off the battlefield. Our research & development (R&D) solutions keep our National Security operations moving forward.

Applying Use Cases
For Emerging
Technologies

With artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), edge computing, and other emerging technologies rapidly advancing, there is a growing need to explore new military applications that can aid in achieving mission success. We combine our engineering skills with experience in National Security operations to identify use cases for those up-and-coming innovative solutions.

Enabling Software-Defined Warfare

We’ve come a long way since trench warfare and guerilla military tactics. Much of the fighting now occurs in cyberspace, where resilient capabilities, software, and digital assets are just as crucial to mission success as firepower and the number of troops deployed. We help the Department of Defense (DoD) implement software solutions and approaches that accelerate the speed of software development, improve combat scenario outcomes, and ultimately save lives.

Monitoring Technology Trends & Advancements

Staying up-to-date on the latest technology trends, both in terms of current solutions and those still in development, is the cornerstone of innovation. We continuously monitor our adversaries, the ever-changing operating environment, and top technology leaders in the defense industry to ensure we identify opportunities to innovate or integrate existing or emerging technologies into our National Security operations.

Prototyping & Testing

Robust product development demands rigorous testing for performance quality and to confirm that it meets both the application and mission requirements. We use our expertise in project management, systems engineering, and prototyping to undergo the entire technology research & development (R&D), testing, and evaluation lifecycles. Whether it’s a concept for a new weapons system, intel-gathering device, or communications channel, we’re here to put it to the test to ensure it meets the needs of the user.
