Practice 03
Technical solutions
Systems engineering, integration and independent review — the technical work that turns a requirement into something that works.
A program that begins with a product requirement has already given up its best options.
We start one level up: what capability is required, against which threat, on what timeline, and at what life-cycle cost. Only then does the question of hardware become answerable — and only then is there something worth engineering.
03Services
01Requirements decomposition, interface definition, trade studies and the technical baseline that survives review rather than the one that looks tidy in a document.
Systems engineering
02Spacecraft, payload, ground and software elements brought together against interface control documents you can hold us to.
Integration
03Sensor fusion, common operating picture, command and control, and edge autonomy — built to run disconnected, and built to be audited.
Mission software
04Verification planning, environmental test campaign management, acceptance criteria and the evidence pack that supports them.
Test & evaluation
05Second-opinion engineering on designs, schedules and supplier claims, with findings written to be acted on rather than filed.
Independent technical review
06Co-development, local assembly and know-how transfer, structured so the capability stays after the contract ends.

Standing access to the senior team
We take a small number of engagements at a time. Senior people do the work; we do not staff with juniors and review with partners.
