We are leading the way in applying digital engineering's interconnected modeling, simulation, analytics, visualization and collaboration capabilities to accelerate systems development. As our space customers move to more complex architectures, we are supporting their evolution from traditionally systems engineering methods to model-based digital engineering within unified data environments and stakeholder ecosystems.
Digital Engineering
Space stakeholders come to us for fast and accurate mission analyses that are instrumental to their decisions on operations support such as missile warning and defense. SAIC pioneered a responsive analysis approach that leverages our modeling, simulation and analysis tools, which range from detailed physics and engineering phenomenon modeling to operational campaign effectiveness evaluation.
Modeling, Simulation and Analysis
SAIC performs safety and mission assurance for NASA, the Department of Defense and the intelligence community’s spacecraft and payloads. At Johnson Space Center, we delivered real-time operational support throughout all phases of the Artemis I mission, evaluating flight products to identify potential impacts to safety requirements. We perform system software assurance for NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation Program. By applying agile concepts to verification and validation work, we quickly assess systems that are critical to preserving human life and valuable assets in space.
