Inside Our Tech
A powerful simulation technology for military operations, national security, and complex challenges.
- Address force structure and campaign-, mission-, and engagement-level problems
- Support a variety of analytic studies:
- Capability and investment trade-offs
- Operations analysis
- Risk assessments
- Military utility assessments
- Analyses of alternatives
- Logistics analysis
- Concept of operation development
- Obtain unique, objective, and defensible evidence for making smart, cost-effective decisions
A customizable analytic software that helps create effective force deployment schedules including high-level estimates about force availability and mission accomplishment.
- Optimize planning using mathematical methods that connect goals, requirements, and rules to produce “best possible” schedules
- Simulate reality using Monte Carlo methods to inject schedules with random “disruptions” to replicate operational challenges
- Quantify trade-offs by rapidly building and comparing different scenarios with clear, intuitive schedule-based metrics and visualizations
A mission effectiveness evaluation that enables the user to define, develop, refine, and evaluate complex system-of-systems solutions and digital twins using quantitative technical and operational metrics and proven Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles.
- Supports development and integration of MBSE models from the component level to complex systems, platforms, and networks
- Links digital to physical by modeling physical behaviors (e.g., flight paths), basic orbital mechanics, and networks into a single, integrated environment for combined analytical insights
- Provides full interoperability by bringing the right, tailored level of fidelity across all relevant domains
User-friendly digital display surface offering collaborative site training, mission planning, tabletop exercises, and wargaming.
- Enable force-on-force through seamless integration of geospatial, infrastructure, operational force, and other mission data tech and data tables in one accessible place
- Enjoy a collaborative and user-driven environment with distributed users and multiplayer functionality to facilitate real-time collaboration and streamline communication and decision-making
- Plan missions in any domain and enable scenarios to be saved, loaded, and exported for future review and “report ready” visuals
- Allow users of any experience level to design and implement wargame scenarios, promoting authentic operational discussions and stakeholder engagement
A prescriptive analytics decision process that forecasts future readiness and resource allocations with unprecedented accuracy.
- Empower executive leaders to efficiently plan and reduce costs while ensuring force and asset availability
- Make data-driven decisions based on aligning plans and resources across the enterprise
- Integrate planning activities through prescriptive analytics; unique process provides a “Forward-looking Common Operating Picture”
- Apply process to readiness of aircraft, ships, radars, pods, and manpower, and allows for exploration of “what-if” scenarios
- Provide defensible requirements by explicitly linking budget marks to future shortfalls
A live-flight testing and threat emulation team, backed by in-house drone fabrication and proven methodology, that objectively evaluates C-UAS system performance across operational and geographical environments for the nation’s top defense and security agencies.
- Model expected C-UAS system performance using government, commercial, and proprietary software before testing begins
- Conduct live-flight adversary testing at bases and critical sites, flying real drones to evaluate and measure system performance against real-world threats
- Deliver performance analytics from testing data, covering fixed- and rotary-wing UAS, communication protocols, and C-UAS systems
A mission-focused toolset for evaluating aerial threats, operational effectiveness, and C-UAS defense operations across complex settings.

- Enables threat modeling and operational assessment
Joint maritime warfare C5ISR-centric mission- to campaign-level simulation used to quantitatively evaluate alternative force structures, warfighting capabilities, OPLANS, CONOPS, and schemes of maneuver.
- Assess alternative force capability mixes by evaluating quantitative impacts on operational effectiveness
- Evaluate the impact of warfighting capabilities (ISR, communications, data fusion, state estimation, consumption/replenishment) on force warfighting effectiveness
- Evaluate OPLANs against assessed threats to identify gaps and seams
- Examine postulated operational concepts in demanding tactical environments to evaluate their relative efficacy
- Analyze exercises/experiments through simulation of planned/actual maneuver and CONOPS to rank alternative approaches
