Core Capabilities for Aerospace & Defense

Advanced Test & Measurement Systems

  • Design and integration of complex test benches for avionics, sensors, and mission-critical subsystems.
  • High-performance PXIe/PCIe and GPU-accelerated platforms for data capture, real-time signal processing, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Legacy test stand modernization to extend platform life and reduce sustainment costs.

Systems Engineering & Integration

  • Requirements engineering, hardware/software integration, and verification & validation for flight and ground systems.
  • Digital twin development to simulate and optimize performance before deployment.
  • Obsolescence management and upgrade pathways for aging mission systems.

AI/ML & Computer Vision Solutions

  • Transform-CV: deep learning-enabled visual inspection platform for quality assurance of aerospace components (e.g., welds, composite surfaces, fastener alignment).
  • Predictive maintenance powered by sensor data and edge AI for mission-critical assets.
  • Secure, air-gapped LLMs for knowledge management and technical support in restricted environments.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

  • Blade Validate: automated CMMC Level 1 & 2 readiness platform to prepare contractors for DoD assessments.
  • Blade RiskManager: AI-driven DevSecOps risk assessment for secure software and system development.
  • Expertise in RMF, NIST 800-171/172, and IEC 62443 for both IT and OT systems.
  • Secure-by-design engineering to protect sensitive defense technology.

Program & Project Support

  • Site surveys, deployments, and field engineering for defense installations (e.g., DHS/TSA, DoD airbases).
  • Full lifecycle support: from concept development to sustainment and upgrade planning.
  • Data analytics dashboards (Power BI, SQL Server) for operational intelligence and readiness tracking.
