04 — R&D SERVICES

Simulation and analysis in support of research programs

The simulation, analysis, and prototyping division applies the same analysis discipline that underpins our swarm research: modeling, simulation, and validation across structural, thermal, electrical, RF and microwave, antenna, and plasma and pulsed-power domains.

This dual structure keeps research grounded in hardware realities — digital modeling and systems-analysis practices connect algorithm development to physical platforms and mission assurance.
