Aerospace and Defense SEA * Air * SPACE * LAND
Plan → Execute → Assess → Enable mission
We operate as a collaborative subcontractor, integrating within IPTs and test organizations to support mission-aligned test planning and readiness activities. Through disciplined planning and coordination, we help teams define, prepare, and execute test activities with precision—supporting safety, compliance, and mission readiness for critical program milestones.
Core Execution Areas:
- Test Planning & Milestone Readiness Support
- Verification & Validation (V&V) Integration and Traceability
- Test Readiness & Execution Support (DT/OT Alignment)
- Data-Driven Evaluation & IPT Coordination
WHY CHOOSE FORWARD ENGINEERING
We help industry partners reduce technical risk, strengthen capture positioning, and execute programs from proposal through post-award delivery.
LABs → Integration → Operational Deployment
We operate as a collaborative subcontractor, integrating with contractor teams to support high-fidelity System/Software Integration Lab and Hardware Integration Lab (SIL/HIL) environments. We enable early identification and mitigation of technical risk through simulation and lab-based testing. Through disciplined SIL/HIL support, we help resolve integration challenges in the lab—well before impacting operational execution.
Core Execution Areas
- SIL/HIL Integration & Lab-Based Test Support
- Early Risk Identification & Mitigation
- Digital-to-Physical Integration & Continuity
- Pre-Integration Issue Resolution & Validation
WHY CHOOSE FORWARD ENGINEERING
We help industry partners reduce technical risk, strengthen capture positioning, and execute programs from proposal through post-award delivery.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION & TEST (SI&T)
We support DoD programs and contractor teams in accelerating Systems Integration and Test (SI&T) through disciplined technical execution—helping ensure systems and subsystems are integrated, verified, and validated against complex mission requirements. By bridging lab-based verification and operational deployment, we reduce integration risk and support first-pass success.
Core Execution Areas:
- Systems Integration & Interoperability Support
- Verification & Validation (V&V) Alignment & Digital Thread Continuity
- Test Readiness, Certification & Fielding Support
- Pre-Integration Issue Identification & Resolution
WHY CHOOSE FORWARD ENGINEERING
We help industry partners reduce technical risk, strengthen capture positioning, and execute programs from proposal through post-award delivery.
INTERFACE AND INTEGRATION VERIFICATION
We support contractor integration planning and execution by aligning hardware, software, and data interfaces across complex systems. Integrated within existing IPTs and engineering environments, we provide disciplined SEIT support to help ensure interconnected technologies function as a unified capability.
By identifying interface mismatches early, we reduce integration risk and prevent late-stage “integration discovery,” helping ensure systems are ready for mission execution.
Core Execution Areas
- Interface Verification & ICD Compliance Support
- API & Data Exchange Alignment
- Digital Thread Traceability & Interface Integration
- Early Interface Risk Identification & Resolution
WHY CHOOSE FORWARD ENGINEERING
We help industry partners reduce technical risk, strengthen capture positioning, and execute programs from proposal through post-award delivery.
Developmental and Operational Test Support
We support the planning and execution of Developmental and Operational Test (DT/OT) activities in alignment with DoD T&E frameworks—helping ensure technical test objectives reflect representative operational mission scenarios.
Through disciplined engineering support, we help ensure test events produce valid, repeatable, and actionable data for assessing system performance, effectiveness, and suitability.
Core Execution Areas:
- DT/OT Alignment & Transition Support
- Mission Effectiveness & KPP Evaluation Support
- Data-Driven Test Validation & Analysis
- Truth Data Integrity & Traceability
WHY CHOOSE FORWARD ENGINEERING
We help industry partners reduce technical risk, strengthen capture positioning, and execute programs from proposal through post-award delivery.
CONFIGURATION & DATA MANAGEMENT (CM/DM)
We support contractor configuration and data management (CM/DM) activities by integrating within existing systems and processes to maintain alignment across system configuration, test execution, and program baselines.
Through disciplined SEIT support, we help maintain a stable, traceable, and mission-aligned technical baseline—preserving data integrity, reinforcing baseline control, and supporting sustained mission readiness across the lifecycle.
CORE EXECUTION AREAS
- Baseline Management & Change Control Support
- Digital Thread Data Integrity & Configuration Traceability
- Configuration Audits & Certification Support (PCA/FCA)
- Technical Baseline Alignment Across Integration & Test
