Research. Refine. Realize.
We are an independent nonprofit research institute bridging rigorous technical development and real-world implementation for emerging technology programs across engineering and the applied sciences.
Our mission
To engage in research, development, and education in the fields of engineering and applied sciences for the benefit of the public.
We pursue applied work that moves from first-principles analysis and simulation to prototype development, testing, and implementation. Our goal is to produce technical outcomes that advance engineering knowledge and support informed decisions by sponsors, partners, and the broader public.
Core technical capabilities
Our work today centers on three integrated capability areas, with room to grow as the institute expands.
Aerospace, robotics & autonomy
Space and robotic systems engineered for resilient autonomous operation, from mission architecture to embedded platforms.
