Mission systems integration for defense primes

Software engineers embedded with defense contractors, handling counter-UAS, airborne mission systems, and the integration work in between. SAM.gov registered.

The integration problem nobody budgeted for

Defense programs have plenty of hardware engineers and program managers. What they lack is software talent that can make different vendors’ systems talk to each other and survive a defense program environment. That’s our niche, and counter-UAS is where it shows up most. We build export-controlled (EAR99, ITAR, etc.) software fast, using modern development practices, to produce MOSA-adherent systems.

The integration layer behind mission systems

Our defense work centers on making sensors, effectors, and command systems work as one. That’s the integration problem behind every counter-UAS and airborne mission system.

Six areas of integration work

  • Command and Control (C2) Integration

    Making individual systems into nodes in a larger command picture: tasked, cued, and in some cases fully controlled from outside.

  • Sensor Integration

    EO/IR and thermal sensor systems integrated into larger mission platforms.

  • Weapons and Effector Integration

    Integration work on weapons and stores management systems.

  • Navigation and Radio Integration

    GPS/INS navigation and tactical radio driver development across multiple radio families.

  • Displays and Mission Data

    Mission displays, full-motion video, and geospatial/moving-map integration.

  • Additional Solutions

Why defense clients trust FortyAU

  • We understand regulated environments

    Compliance and audit trails are architected into every layer of what we build — the same discipline we bring to healthcare and financial services.

  • Deep integration experience

    We close the seam between sensors, effectors, and command-and-control systems — the integration problem every defense program runs into eventually.

  • Senior engineers, not junior staff augmentation

    Ninety percent of our contributors are senior. The person who scopes the work builds it. We can own a full implementation or supply a seat, whichever the project needs.

  • Open architecture over vendor lock-in

    We’re regularly the team called in to replace a legacy, single-vendor system with an open-architecture alternative — reducing lock-in, which is the direction the DoD is already pushing the industry.
