The DoD Sector specializes in systems/software engineering, data analytics, software development, agile methodology implementation, cloud architecture, network engineering, information systems security management, and program management support. In every engagement, Cornerstone Defense focuses on mission continuity, ensuring cyber-resilient solutions are a critical aspect of our designs and mission operations. Within our DoD Sector, our Space Team specializes in space operations and maintenance, ground system engineering and support, as well as testing and evaluation of new technologies. It is our mission to support all branches of the military and service support elements, to ensure we continuously provide innovation, continuity of operations, and maintain a level of indistinguishable service to our men and women of the Armed Forces. The overarching organizations and agencies that we support include the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Space.
As a prime contractor supporting the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), the Cornerstone Defense Team provides nationally critical data analytics. This team is fully integrated within the JPO, directly supporting the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and senior leadership of this Priority Level 1 program. Our team provides design, analysis, and implementation, allowing the JPO to securely access and use multinational data.
In support of one of our Navy customers, we support the design of a multi-cloud solution, ensuring they have secure and robust compute capabilities in time of peace and war. The Cornerstone Defense Team supports the advanced design of a hybrid cloud solution as a pathfinder for the entire U.S. Navy. This solution seeks to provide a hybrid cloud capable of integrating commercial, government, and on-premise computing in a seamless and resilient solution. This advanced solution will provide several DoD entities with the ability to continuously execute missions even in times of infrastructure disruptions.
The Systems Engineering Team provides on time solutions and support to ensure the idea becomes reality. With a heavy focus on multiple full lifecycle support disciplines, our systems engineers are immersed in certifications relevant to the engineering required to ensure data is delivered on time, every time, to our customers’ specifications.
Our team of highly focused developers function in multifaceted environments ensuring customers in the aerospace and defense areas of the U.S. Government and integrator community receive differentiated applications and services in support of their dynamic mission requirements. Our approach ensures we are prepared to deliver upon the warfighter’s expectations.
Our Team of Scrum Masters and Agile coaches are committed to enforcing the methodologies of this practice. The commitment to an agile approach must be absorbed in the software development process. Our team collaborates with our customers and development teams to instill the philosophies of the methodology, ultimately creating an Agile center of excellence.
Our Team of highly skilled cloud engineers are trained in the development and implementation of multiple cloud technologies. We focus on the best solution, based on mission driven requirements, to ensure our customers and the warfighter are receiving the information required to make informed decisions in a global environment.
Our team has deep domain expertise in both traditional and software defined networks. Cornerstone has performed in all stages of network engineering from requirements gathering through implementation, operations, and maintenance. Our team was integral on a global re-design of the largest encrypted network in the intelligence community. The architecture design allowed for cloud optimized performance and secure communication across a multi-disciplined global enterprise.
Supporting the warfighter is our primary mission. Our team is committed to providing the equipment and data, to ensure safe and effective operations. One application of Cornerstone Defense’s data analytics is in the analysis and support of logistical operations. This capability includes the ability to analyze and automate supply chain decisions, failure analysis, and improved cost/time operations. Our team works at both the Pentagon and individual program level to ensure efficient DoD operations and mission continuity.
The Cornerstone Defense Team supports numerous customers in the identification, ingest, and analysis of mission critical data. This analysis includes trending, anomaly detection, change/effect evaluation, and improved operations. Analysis includes research on failures, continuity of operation, improved cost of operation, and specifics such as orbital debris, parts defects, improved component storage, and delivery.
Our Team is made up of Engineers that develop complex guidance, navigation and control algorithms in support of our customers’ mission. Teaming with other engineering disciplines, our GN&C engineers deliver improved algorithms to the simulation and software teams to create improved predictive operations.
Our team of highly trained real-time operators support multiple classified and unclassified missions both pre and post launch. We have focused, driven, and mission essential personnel that provide communications and contact support, anomaly reporting and resolution, creating procedures, pre and post pass planning, and overall monitoring of spacecraft status/functionality, in support of our DoD customers, ensuring mission success.
Our highly skilled Orbit Analysts are augmenting our partners’ Launch and Early on-Orbit Test (LEOT) operations. Our support consists of system tests and rehearsals, providing feedback to factory support elements, both before and after the launch of the spacecraft.
Our ground operations individuals are routinely tasked with properly configuring orbital and ground resources for communication, thus allowing monitoring of state of health and planning systems. These engineers interact with factory and military personnel regularly, providing ground system configuration, ground and spacecraft troubleshooting, creating procedures, ensuring the successful operations of spacecraft and ground systems.
Our Space Team provides operation development and execution support for systems, sensors, and operational requirements, maintaining on-orbit testing of satellites. Cornerstone Defense is a critical partner with expertise supporting IRAD production, development, and testing in simulation for mission critical response. Our Space Team participates in on-orbit checked out and test, orbit and attitude determination/confirmation, and planned on-orbit upgrades.
Our Space Team has domain expertise including SMEs, as recognized within the space offensive/defensive areas, that are leading the way in space situational awareness and near-Earth object detection, who focus on characterizing and tracking orbital debris.
