Agile DevSecOps
SPA implements agile and DevSecOps to create a comprehensive and integrated approach to software development and operations. This methodology leverages iterative development and automated tools to reduce time to market and increase software security. We create and integrate analytical tools that define, analyze, and visualize performance measures while ensuring cybersecurity compliance. Our approach helps to develop systems that are delivered rapidly, securely, and with continuous improvement throughout the development cycle. Agile and DevSecOps improve efficiency and security throughout all stages of the software lifecycle from design through deployment, maintenance, and monitoring.
Collaborative Software Factory Creation and Operation
SPA creates, maintains, and provides guidance on best practices for collaborative software factories for DoD clients. With deep expertise in DevSecOps, we understand the tools and processes needed to establish secure and efficient lifecycles for getting applications into production, ensuring their resilience and security. We offer source code management, tailorable CI/CD pipelines, dependency and supply chain management, continuous monitoring, and cloud/on-prem/hybrid infrastructure provisioning and support. Additionally, we provide platform layer services and governance recommendations, empowering developers and engineers to securely iterate on mission-critical software with speed and confidence.
System, Custom, and Analytic Tool Development
SPA specializes in developing custom systems, tools, and analytics to address the unique needs of national security operations. We create tailored software applications, such as program management tools and mission planning platforms, to solve specific client challenges. For example, we built an application to track program risk and cost, and another to replace outdated physical tabletop exercises with a digital platform that enhances efficiency and capability. Additionally, SPA’s analytic expertise spans across multiple teams, developing custom dashboards and providing insightful reports, trend analysis, and interactive tools to enable clients to explore and act on complex data in real time.
Secure Enclave Design, Development, and Deployment
SPA designs, develops, and deploys secure enclaves and platforms to protect sensitive data and systems. We assess cyber threats, analyze compromises, and develop resilient architectures that ensure national security operations remain secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving threats. With extensive experience in deploying and maintaining enclaves at multiple impact levels for the DoD, SPA prioritizes secure design, provisioning, configuring, and maintaining infrastructure and platform services to ensure mission success. Our expertise spans cyber governance, vulnerability management, cloud/on-prem/hybrid provisioning, CI/CD processes, container orchestration, observability, and infrastructure as code, enabling secure enclaves for critical mission systems.
Full Stack Web Development
SPA offers full stack development of web applications for data management and integrated analytical tools, relying on the latest technologies and industry standards. SPA’s developers are experts in multiple languages and frameworks, allowing us to customize the tech stack for each client’s unique deployment and operational environment. We apply our skills architecting new solutions, maintaining existing applications, or upgrading/replacing out-of-date software. Our resulting products are secure, scalable applications that ensure integration across platforms while meeting the highest standards for security and performance.
Cloud Computing, Network Design, and Engineering
SPA offers comprehensive cloud computing and network engineering services to support national security infrastructure. With expertise in cloud architecture and security, we design and optimize resilient, scalable, and cloud-agnostic environments for mission-critical applications. Our network engineering services deliver secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure that facilitates efficient data sharing, rapid decision-making, and enhanced mission effectiveness across diverse military operations. We adhere to stringent security standards and regulations, leveraging advanced analytical tools and automation to ensure cybersecurity compliance, continuous risk monitoring, and operational readiness, ultimately strengthening operational readiness and combat capabilities.
Real-time 3D Multi-platform Software Development
SPA specializes in real-time 3D multi-platform software development, creating immersive and interactive tools for national security applications. Our developers are proficient in developing custom applications using industry-leading game engines such as Unity while ensuring compliance with stringent national security requirements. Our 3D applications support engineering analysis, force modeling, and operational scenario evaluation across multiple platforms.
Offensive and Defensive Cyber Analysis
SPA offers offensive and defensive cyber technical expertise to support new technology assessments, architecture analysis, and the derivation of future system requirements. We assess red and blue kill chains to identify warfighter gaps and recommend existing or newly developed technologies to address these gaps. Beyond technology evaluations, we also identify the necessary supporting infrastructure—such as C2, intelligence, and logistics—and develop the CONOPs required to effectively employ these cyber systems.
Digital Engineering and Sustainment
SPA accelerates the traditional system engineering (SE) life cycle through a holistic digital engineering and sustainment approach. By integrating a digital ecosystem into our systems engineering framework, we provide decision-makers with digital resources to support each stage of the process, without sacrificing technical rigor. Using cutting-edge tools, processes, and architectural frameworks, we help our clients execute systems engineering functions efficiently, improving system performance and sustainability while delivering results at the speed of relevance.
Digital Twins and Virtual Testing
SPA specializes in helping clients perform down-selects and mitigate risk early in their programs through the development and use of digital twins and virtual testing at the architectural, platform, and system levels, all contextualized within warfighting domains. We leverage a suite of SPA-developed and commercial Modeling and Simulation tools that uniquely bridge the gap between systems engineering design and operational research, ensuring traceability from engineering decisions to requirements and, ultimately, mission-level effectiveness. This approach enables our analysts and engineers to go beyond merely verifying design compliance, characterizing performance and conducting trade-offs within a warfighting context.
