Representative programs

A redacted slice of recent work. Customer names are not published; sector and program shape only.

Group 5 ISR platform — autonomy verification campaign

Two-year V&V engagement supporting a Group 5 ISR platform's transition from operator-in-the-loop to mission-execution autonomy on a contested-airspace concept of operations. Authored the test strategy, built the encounter-set library for the simulation-of-record, and supported six flight-test deployments at a western range. Final acceptance package accepted by the program's airworthiness authority on the first submission.

Group 3 maritime UAS — mission-systems integration

End-to-end mission-systems integration for a Group 3 maritime ISR platform integrating a customer-furnished EO/IR turret, AIS receiver, and SAR-radar payload. Included STANAG 4586-compliant ground-control-station design and the cross-segment ICD discipline. Program complete; platform fielded.

Optionally-manned rotorcraft — run-time-assurance architecture review

Run-time-assurance architecture review for an optionally-manned rotorcraft technology demonstrator. Reviewed the monitor-and-revert design against the customer's airworthiness basis and authored the gap-closure plan. Demonstrator flew the autonomy mode in supervised flight within program target.

Multi-vehicle experimentation — data-engineering buildout

Flight-test data engineering for a research customer running multi-vehicle autonomy experimentation. Built the time-aligned ingest pipeline, encounter-classification engine, and intervention-rate dashboard. Program continuing on a per-quarter basis as the experimentation program scales.

Engagement model

Most engagements are fixed-scope, milestone-billed against verification or integration gates. We do not staff time-and-materials seats. We will quote on a continuing-engineering basis for customers with multi-year programs where the engineering cadence justifies the commitment.
