Scientific Research & Analysis
We help customers avoid technological surprise by developing weapon technology roadmaps and identifying gaps in warfighting performance, test and evaluation.
We analyze design drivers in current and emerging threat systems to project how adversaries may apply these technologies and their impact on operational performance.
