Delivering solutions for the nation’s toughest national security challenges
Defense Systems and Assessments supports the warfighter by accelerating the development of innovative systems, sensors, and technologies for the national security community.
Today’s threats to national security are diverse and multi-dimensional and include:
- strategic competitors developing increasingly advanced military capabilities;
- unstable powers seeking weapons of mass destruction;
- terrorists and insurgents wielding deceptively simple improvised weapons; and
- malicious hackers turning keyboards into instruments of cyberwar.
We provide technical solutions for global security by engineering and integrating advanced science and technology to help defend and protect the United States. Demands for reliable solutions to our country’s toughest technical challenges have never been greater.
