Engineering and IT

Throughout the acquisition and sustainment lifecycle, mission success depends on both in-depth knowledge of current and emerging technologies and a thorough understanding of the user’s environment and its challenges. SMX brings years of hands-on mission experience to designing and augmenting manned and unmanned platforms; sensors and satellite ground stations; edge compute; cloud compute; Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) support; training; geospatial imagery; advanced analytics; and AI/ML enhancements.

We design and conduct experiments to showcase emerging technologies, from space-based sensors to unmanned surface and undersea platform data collection sources. As these technologies are validated, we rapidly convert and deploy them to support today’s missions, from humanitarian disaster relief to building coalition partner capacity.

SMX takes a solution-agnostic approach to developing our engineering designs, focusing on mission needs over rigid legacy norms. We are often able to convert legacy equipment or create interfaces through modular systems to enable a transition to modern technology. Our approach inherently questions requirements that presume a predetermined solution.

With close customer involvement and rapid prototyping by our engineering team, we can achieve new mission capabilities without interrupting business workflows, keeping you on track and ready at all times.

SMX has a long history in healthcare IT, with proven experience delivering real-world healthcare applications and Health Information Exchange (HIE) solutions at any scale. Our industry experts bring leading-edge technical solutions to healthcare delivery while remaining hyper-focused on meeting the most stringent cyber security, data quality, and certification & accreditation (C&A) requirements.

From designing, developing, and deploying new healthcare IT systems to modernizing legacy applications and processes, we help our customers meet their most challenging requirements. With more than two decades supporting commercial hospitals, state health exchanges, and the federal medical community, our goal is to improve the long-term viability of our nation’s healthcare data systems to help ensure the best possible care.

Software development is where ideas are translated into user experiences, enhancements to operations, interfaces for Operators, and visualizations for critical mission insights. Our Agile approach is API-driven into the data platforms we leverage; DevOps engineering requires the development of Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD) pipelines for software development.

We put security at the forefront of all applications, operations and platforms. DevSecOps reflects that mindset, enabling us to rapidly develop and deliver applications that can generate measurably greater mission outcomes.

To ensure readiness and amplify national defense, we deliver expert technical and programmatic aviation support capabilities to the US Army and our allies—including security assistance operations and strategic planning analysis for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs.

Through our Multi-National Aviation Special Project Office (MASPO) and Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) contracts, SMX can deliver engineering and operational solutions that are both far-reaching and practical: in just one example, our team led trade studies to refine the System Performance Specification requirements resulting in more than $250M in cost avoidance.
