Our elite team of real-time spacecraft operators and ground operations experts are dedicated to ensuring the success of classified and unclassified missions for our Defense customers. With precision and expertise, we provide comprehensive support from pre-launch planning to post-launch operations. From communication setup to anomaly resolution and system optimization, collaborating closely with factory and military personnel to guarantee seamless spacecraft and ground system operations.
Our Space Team provides operation development and execution support for systems, sensors, and operational requirements, maintaining on-orbit testing of satellites. Cornerstone Defense isa critical partner with expertise supporting IRAD production, development, and testing in simulation for mission critical response. Our team participates in on-orbit checked out and test, orbit, and attitude determination/confirmation, and planned on-orbit upgrades.
Our cadre of information systems security officers, managers, and engineers are working to build, improve, create, and document processes and procedures for a multitude of space-based systems. By utilizing cybersecurity technology and skills, RMF compliance, configuration management, and software development, our team continues to directly contribute to successful ATOs.
Our team of 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 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 establish an agile Agile center of excellence.
Our team of engineers are responsible for full lifecycle guidance, navigation, and control development from design through to unit. This includes mission planning, design and simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, on vehicle functionality, and flight testing. While utilizing astrodynamics and orbital analysis software and technologies, this team is deeply involved in all aspects of GNC, ensuring spacecraft is properly designed and tested to operate and fulfill an optimal and safe rendezvous, for multi-year missions.
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 continues to be an integral member of 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.
Our Team of 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.
