Capabilities

Supply Chain Optimization

Service website

Applies advanced analytics, optimization modeling, and simulation to integrate and analyze data across procurement, logistics, and inventory. This approach identifies inefficiencies, optimizes network performance, and enables data-driven decision-making to reduce cost and improve resilience.

  • Procurement and logistics data integration

    Integrates procurement, logistics, and inventory data to establish a unified view of the supply network.

  • Inventory and warehousing analysis

    Analyzes logistics routes and inventory levels to identify inefficiencies and optimize storage.

  • Network performance optimization

    Improves logistics efficiency through modeling and simulation of distribution pathways.

  • Resilience decision support

    Provides predictive models to help withstand and recover from supply network disruptions.

Modeling and Simulation

Service website

Develops verified and validated models and simulations to assess system performance, conduct trade studies, and reduce cost, schedule, and technical risk across the acquisition lifecycle.

  • System performance assessment

    Evaluates technical capabilities and performance metrics of hardware and software systems under operational conditions.

  • Trade studies and analysis

    Conducts comparative evaluations of design alternatives and system configurations to guide decision-making.

  • Lifecycle risk reduction

    Identifies and mitigates cost, schedule, and technical risks throughout the acquisition and development phases.

Data Analytics and Visualization

Service website

Designs and implements advanced analytics pipelines and mission-focused visualizations that integrate disparate data sources to support statistically rigorous, decision-quality insights.

  • Advanced analytics pipelines

    Builds automated data processing workflows to clean, transform, and analyze complex defense datasets.

  • Mission-focused visualization

    Creates interactive dashboards and visual tools tailored to operational defense needs.

  • Disparate data-source integration

    Unifies diverse, unstructured, and siloed data streams into cohesive analytical environments.

Reliability and Maintainability Engineering

Service website

Provides quantitative reliability engineering methods to assess system risk, availability, and lifecycle performance.

  • Failure modeling and simulation

    Develops mathematical representations of system degradation and failure modes over time.

  • Statistical life data analysis

    Applies statistical techniques to operational and test data to estimate component lifetimes and wear-out periods.

  • Maintainability metrics development

    Defines and measures repair times, maintenance labor hours, and operational availability indicators.

Maintenance Planning

Service website

Delivers advanced aircraft maintenance planning and sustainment analytics to increase readiness and reduce lifecycle costs.

  • Level of Repair Analysis

    Determines whether system components should be discarded or repaired at the organizational, intermediate, or depot level.

  • Diagnostics and health management

    Implements predictive monitoring and diagnostic strategies to detect faults before they cause system failures.

  • Degrader analysis

    Identifies components and systems that disproportionately drive down operational availability.

  • Reliability Control Board application

    Establishes structured engineering reviews and action plans to address systemic reliability issues.

Program Planning

Service website

Delivers end-to-end weapon system program planning and management to enable efficient execution across the full acquisition lifecycle.

  • Requirements development

    Defines and refines technical, operational, and sustainment requirements for complex defense programs.

  • Funding and production planning

    Formulates budgets, cost estimates, and manufacturing schedules to ensure program execution stays on track.

  • Systems engineering and integration

    Applies rigorous engineering processes to manage complex system interfaces and lifecycle development.

  • Fielding and sustainment support

    Coordinates the deployment, training, and long-term support infrastructure for newly fielded systems.
