Defense Innovation

When a bank or government agency is audited, it is not audited so much for its financial 'success,' as for its obedience to accepted audit and technology controls and anti-corruption measures.

Were funds appropriated by Congress spent as intended? Did victims or consumers get a fair appeal? Were  GAAP, NIST, Fiduciary Trust, & HIPPA obeyed? Were OPSEC and INFOSEC standards met? Was lying, cheating, or stealing common? 


In a world where the US and OTAN are outnumbered 3:1 in military troop strength, our competitive advantage continues to come from our superior technology. This makes innovation, cyber, and strategy top strengths for our US and allied militaries. We support US warfighters in enhancing or adding critical capabilities through insight, intelligence, and most of all, basic systems thinking.


Systems thinking sounds easy, but in reality is incredibly difficult for a military and  global infrastructure with the complexity and sophistication of America's.  As primes and subs slip into the conditioning of working only to the SOW in front of them, key interfaces and  multi-domain interfaces get dropped or forgotten, and that's when tragic global disconnects begin.



Mapping a System View

We always begin with the system view of whatever arena(s) we will support.  Let's take the case study of Hypersonic missile or other air defense:


  • We were instrumental from 2017 onward, in educating and briefing US Cabinet, White House, and OTAN leadership in the disconnect between emerging hypersonic capabilities of China, North Korea, Iran and others -- low, ground-hugging and fluid trajectories  and multiple warheads - and the current US strategic defenses (Thaad, Aegis, MEADS, MDA, other) under development and field deploy. Because they could only strike high-altitude, predictable arc tragectories on incoming missiles.



  • WHY did the US, and allies, continue to fund, build, and deploy strategic systems we knew were already outdated against all but the most rudimentary attackers, (such as Palestine)? Lack of "systems view' thinking. And resistance to change and modernization. There was modernization the past 5 years, but it was superficial modernization of outdated capabilities. Not the disruptive innovation and introduction of new modes of defense, which was what was needed, against the new hypersonic challengers.

We provide training, fulfillment, design and deployment support for mission-critical Warfighters worldwide. Our niche focus is SOCOM, TACOM, space & satellite, avionics, and intelligence innovation and evaluation.
