DEFENSE INNOVATION
Space is not the place to win a nuclear war.
But Earth is where we stop it.
Innovation for the Real World
Our clients want their work to count.
Maybe that's why Washington's thought leaders look to us for early intelligence and insight on key topics impacting public policy, national defense and economic security.
CAN NANO PARTICLES IMPROVE LINE-OF- SIGHT MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS?
Because nanoparticles can communicate across ultralong distances, the stacked architecture offers new possibilities for secure communications and intercept in fiber optics drone warfare; and air & missile defense.
We deliver technology and strategy innovation to turn customer need into commercial and government solutions.

We were honored to support Lockheed Martin and its Ft Belvoir, VA innovation lab with signal, space & satellite electronics design and patent input.
Our intelligence, compliance, and technology insights consistently put our government and business clients ahead of the competition (or enemy) in critical arenas.
Data-Driven Safety Analysis (DDSA)
On a bitter cold night this past January, an AA Eagle flight full of children and teens from Kansas and a US Army Sikorsky Black Hawk collided 300 ft above the Potomac River, killing all onboard. The jet was within 1/2 mile of touching down on Runway 33 at Reagan National - across from the White House.
WHAT WE THINK HAPPENED
Runway 33 is so short and so dangerous that it is used for only 4% of landings. The FAA had issued a permanent order not to mix helicopter and jet traffic with Runway 33 use; and US law mandates minimum separation distances between aircraft: 1000' vertical and 700' horizontal.
The tower and Air Traffic Controllers did not obey ANY of these safety measures or US Federal law.
We have a 100% track record in engineering trouble-shooting
At DCA, between October 2021 and December 2024, the NTSB reported 15,299 near-misses between commercial airplanes and helicopters due to inadequate lateral & vertical separation - an average of 425 near-accidents per month.
Yet the first thing media and investigators focused on were minor technology glitches. In reality, it would not have mattered if the Black Hawk was at 200' or 300' - US law builds in technology variance by calling for a 1,000' vertical and 700' lateral separation between both craft. Runway 33 had special Hotspot rules also disobeyed.

The DC metro area is awash in all kinds of helicopter traffic every day: but that night, DCA (FAA) controllers guided both aircraft on a collision course of 0' lateral and and an expected 100' vertical separation. A common occurrance for our national capital's primary airport.
We deliver actionable, early insight and guidance to executives and their teams.
