Mathematical modeling & simulation
We build and validate models that support design trades, control development, and performance prediction for complex systems operating under uncertainty. This work underpins every program we take on.
Our research
We deliver applied technical programs across three core capability areas, from physics-based modeling and simulation through prototype validation and fielded systems.
Core technical capabilities
The areas where our experience runs deepest today. As an engineering and applied sciences institute, our capabilities grow with our programs and our team.
Aerospace, robotics & autonomy
Our work spans mission concept through embedded implementation, with an emphasis on systems that keep operating through external hazards and internal subsystem failures.
Advanced computing & intelligent systems
We develop and operate the computing infrastructure behind our high-fidelity simulation and scalable engineering analysis, and extend access to external research partners.
Featured projects
Selected programs spanning our capability areas.
Distributed orbital power networks
Development of next-generation space infrastructure to support high-power orbital systems and distributed mission architectures through coordinated satellite energy sharing.
Hardware-accelerated high-performance compute
Development of computing infrastructure to support high-fidelity simulation, data-driven modeling, scalable engineering analysis, and external research compute access.
