Defense systems engineering

We are experts in the integration of complex systems and our disciplined execution of digital and software engineering processes are repeatable, scalable and proven to accelerate the transition of capabilities to the warfighter.

We offer a full suite of model based systems engineering, software engineering, life cycle logistics, and predictive logistics expertise that is enabling the DoD to achieve its objectives in tactical vehicle, combat vehicle, and watercraft modernisation initiatives. 

We offer integrated data collection, migration, storage, and visualisation solutions that enable improved situational awareness, predictive logistics, and advanced decision-making in mission-critical environments, where data security and integrity are critical to successful and resilient execution.

We provide a full range of life cycle logistics and integrated product support capabilities that include acquisition life cycle sustainment planning, provisioning interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) development and new equipment training (NET), total package fielding and predictive logistics implementation.

Ricardo Defense applies our advanced capability maturity model integration (CMMI) level three software development life cycle (SDLC) and development security operations (DevSecOps) processes to create service-agnostic and platform-agnostic software solutions that are enabling US DoD multi-domain operations (MDO).  

We develop and deliver integrated, purpose-built solution products in response to our clients’ problems, needs, and/or requirements.  Products including integrated ABS/ESC braking systems, dismounted wireless communication systems, and advanced auxiliary power units deliver advanced capabilities that are dramatically improving operational safety, cost efficiency, and mission success.

We have a dedicated team of certified field-based experts who are equipping, testing, sustaining, and upgrading US DoD platforms, including manned and unmanned ground vehicles, combat vehicles, and watercraft.  Our dependable field maintenance professionals work shoulder-to-shoulder with the warfighter to ensure that operational readiness objectives are achieved at all times.

Ricardo Defense provides US DoD-certified training instructors to ensure operators and maintainers of DoD systems are fully trained in the safe operation and sustainment of their equipment.  We apply a disciplined and rigorous approach to preparing and delivering both classroom and hands-on instruction that successfully achieves new equipment training and maintenance training objectives for the safe and effective operation of vehicle hardware and software systems.
