E – DRIVE TRANSMISSION – ADVANCING DEFENSE MOBILITY
Automotive has spent decades industrializing safety critical embedded development at scale. We bring
that discipline to defense-selectively, pragmatically, and with the right adaptations:
Functional Safety →
System Safety:
We integrate hazard analysis,
FMEA/FMECA, and STPA methods
from ISO 26262 workflows into
MIL-STD-882–aligned safety
cases—driving tighter requirement clarity,
stronger coverage, and faster verification closure
across mission-critical systems.
AUTOSAR & A-SPICE →
Open Mission
Architectures:
Leveraging modular software
patterns and deterministic
middleware, we enable resilient
MOSA/SOSA/CMOSS and FACE/HOST
integrations that enhance mission-system
portability, streamline verification
and test cycles, and accelerate
technology insertion across
evolving threat environments.
Mission Cyber:
Automotive cybersecurity practices
rooted in ISO/SAE 21434 and
secure ECU design align closely
with the DO-326A/DO-355/DO-356A
aerospace cybersecurity framework.
These engineering foundations support
downstream defense requirements—including
DISA STIG baselines, SBOM generation,
signed update chains, and NIST 800-171–aligned
controls—hardening boot chains,
communication stacks, and
data-at-rest protections.
Scenario Based
Validation:
ADAS-style scenario catalogs
and digital twins extend into
defense use cases—driving SIL/HIL
coverage for ISR, EW, and autonomous
mission functions. This approach
uncovers edge cases early through
fault injection, timing perturbation,
and degraded-mode testing.
HIL at Scale:
We adapt automotive-grade HIL
repeatability to mission-level test
benches—delivering deterministic sensor
stimulation, precise PTP time
synchronization, RF loopback capability,
and power/thermal profiles that accurately
replicate real sortie and convoy conditions.
Data Ops:
Automotive perception pipelines
underpin a robust sensor-fusion
data workflow—supporting high-fidelity
ground-truth generation, large-scale
calibration routines, structured labeling
QA processes, automated drift detection
algorithms, and deterministic on-rig
playback for accelerated regression
and system validation.
Networking & Timing:
Deep experience with CAN,
AUTOSAR, and Ethernet/TSN—combined
with disciplined timing architectures—drives
our implementations of DDS, MIL-STD-1553,
ARINC 429, and TSN gateway solutions.
We engineer deterministic pub/sub patterns,
synchronized data paths, and interoperable
interfaces that support MOSA-compliant,
federated mission system
Secure
Update in Contested
Environments:
We transform OTA concepts into
mission-ready, air-gapped update workflows—delivering
cryptographically signed packages with anti-rollback
protection and seamless key rotation.
The result is a hardened, repeatable
update process built for fielded systems,
denied environments, and fast turnaround
in depot operations.
Quality at Scale:
APQP/PPAP-level rigor drives
our defense build readiness—mirroring
AS9145-style processes, DFX reviews,
and structured supplier quality gates.
This disciplined approach boosts
first-pass yield, reduces defects,
and shortens re-spin cycles across
complex mission hardware.
Reliability Engineering:
Our AEC-Q–aligned thermal
and derating workflows empower optimized
SWaP-C outcomes, exceptional ruggedization,
and forward-looking obsolescence/DMSMS
strategies, enabling systems that stay
reliable and mission-ready for decades.
