- Entire space, ground and network environments can be converted to Software Defined
- Infrastructure (SDIs) on demand
- Ability to provide a before and after vulnerability assessment
- Realistic network traffic stimulation
Digital Engineering
Launch and space clients face complex challenges to ensure their missions are successful. To meet these challenges, our Model-Based Engineering (MBE) solutions provide several important benefits across the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Enterprise.
- Integration of mission, systems, physics, cost models
- Lower costs across mission lifecycle when applied during early integration
- Model-Based Engineering (MBE)
- Modeling as a Service (MaaS)
- Leveraging Commercial Best Practices
