Security
Our technologies help safeguard national security and protect our cyber-systems. We deliver hardware, systems, and software that people can rely on under the most challenging conditions.
We offer a full range of support from R&D and lab demos through to prototypes, early manufacturing, and sustained systems. Backed by our rigorous systems-engineering approach, we can develop field-ready products in months rather than years.

The Mad Science behind Autonomy and AI in the Military
While the U.S. military is laser focused on day-to-day operations, it always has an eye on the future. More specifically, on how to encourage innovation and leverage technologies, products and approaches that can better ensure mission success. This past spring I had the pleasure of speaking at the Mad Scientist Conference on Robotics, Artificial Intelligence…
