Assured integration for defense systems

Modular Integration,
Solved.

We solve the hardest part of modular integration — making it verifiable, standards-compliant, and reconfigurable.

The integration challenge

Integration is the riskiest line in your program plan.

Most integration failures are baked in during design and development — assumptions about timing, formats, and behavior that live in documents nobody validates. They surface at integration events, when the fix is slowest and most expensive.

Programs absorb the cost as months of schedule and millions in rework. The seam never gets cheaper — unless it becomes an engineered, verified artifact.

The new way to integrate

From integration by assumption to integration by proof.

Without

  • Find out at the lab — not the design review, when a fix is cheap.
  • Every integration is a first-time event — nothing carries forward across blocks or variants.
  • Compliance is a paperwork exercise — asserted in documents, not demonstrated with evidence.

With Tangram

  • Find out in design — faults caught before a line of code is written.
  • Every integration carries forward — verified, reusable approaches across blocks and variants.
  • Compliance is demonstrated — proven with evidence, before the lab.

Our assured integration pipeline

Proof, built into every step.

One pipeline takes you from sources of truth to fielded, verified integration.

Specify

We turn your sources of truth — MBSE models, ICDs, requirements — into a precise behavioral specification in Flex, with open standards baked in.

Design-check

Tangram Pro Model Checker finds design-level faults — deadlocks, races, components waiting on each other — before a line of integration code exists.

Verify

Tangram Pro Verifier isolates each component, emulates the world around it, and rigorously tests its software against the spec — pass/fail, with evidence.

Field with proof

Verified integration code deploys to the mission — with an evidence bundle an accreditor can open.

Assured GRA Compliance

Prove and sustain WOSA, UAI, OMS, UCI, A-GRA, and AMS-GRA compliance — continuously, not annually.

Integration Design Assurance

Prove the architecture is safe and correct before a line of integration code is written.

Open Architecture Transition

Break vendor lock-in without rip-and-replace — open interfaces, one seam at a time.

Assured Integration Pipeline

Continuously answer 'will it work together?' during development — then keep the capability when we leave.

Tactical Edge Integration

MachLinx translates across protocols at the tactical edge — without modifying either system.

The products

Purpose-built for assured integration.

Who we help

If integration risk keeps you up at night, you're our people.

Three kinds of organizations come to us — with the same problem underneath.

Program Offices

“We won't know if it works — or if we're compliant — until the lab.”

You get

  • Faults caught in design, not test
  • Independent integration assurance
  • MOSA & UAI mandates met — with evidence

Primes & Subs

“We need real integration depth to de-risk delivery and win bids.”

You get

  • De-risked delivery across blocks and variants
  • Reusable, verified approaches
  • Lower NRE per pairing

Component Vendors & OEMs

“We have to prove our system integrates — and conforms to GRA standards.”

You get

  • MOSA / GRA compliance, demonstrated
  • Months of compliance work cut to weeks
  • Faster time-to-platform

What we bring

What sets us apart.

Engineers who've lived integration pain.

Domain specialists in integration architecture, MBSE, and open standards — FACE, SOSA, UCI, GRA, WOSA, UAI — who embed with your team, across weapons, EW, platforms, and autonomy. Not staff aug.

A repeatable proof methodology.

A repeatable methodology: a Digital Source of Truth in Flex that everything traces to, Continuous Evaluation throughout development, and Expanded Testing at the integration level — not just unit tests.

The tools we built to run it.

Purpose-built tools — Flex, Model Checker, Verifier, MachLinx, and Tangram Pro bringing the suite into terminals and CI — the engine that we use ourselves to make the expertise fast, rigorous, and repeatable.

Bring us your hardest interface.

We'll model it, check it, verify it — and hand you the evidence in a working session.
