To the solutions

Engineering services for defense and security

In defense and security environments, there are high requirements for reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational safety. Systems must function reliably under demanding conditions. We support programs from the early concept phase through deployment and operation, and we accompany the development and integration of technical solutions for critical applications.

Systems & software engineering services

Complex defense systems require disciplined engineering and coordination. We integrate compatible, long-life systems using POSIX OS and middleware. MBSE and standards ensure traceable designs, with cybersecurity embedded for resilient platforms.

Mechatronics

We develop innovative mechatronic components and systems for defense, from electromechanical assemblies to advanced packaging for constrained platforms. Servo-drive expertise and dedicated software deliver precise, reliable motion and control.

Development & testing

We provide advanced dev and test environments for defense V&V, from GNSS and 3D simulations to modular HIL with rest‑bus simulation. Environmental, energy, and security testing ensure resilience, durability, and faster qualification.
