About Our Team:

Our team has nationally recognized expertise in computational electromagnetics and modeling and simulation, bolstered by additional reachback to expertise in hardware design, test, and rapid prototyping.

Our Computational Physical Sciences team is comprised of physicists, engineers, and software developers operating collaboratively across the U.S.

to develop and implement solutions to challenging RDT&E problems.

Our team is coast-to-coast - performing work from offices in California, Ohio, Michigan, and remotely in Delaware.

We are used to collaborating from geographically dispersed locations and know how to do so without our remote employees feeling like they are on an island.

We have anechoic chambers and specialized RF prototyping capabilities that give us a leg up in competing on programs that require RF characterization.
