MTSI Supports Our Army Customers
Hypersonics
MTSI is a leading technology services company supporting multiple government offices to rapidly and effectively achieve their mission objectives in critical areas including UAS, hypersonics, flight test, mission analysis, and wargaming.
MTSI develops and provides innovative solutions for customers executing end-to-end hypersonic flight tests involving flexible launch platforms, unique low-cost target solutions, and sub-/full scale launch vehicles at high test cadence.
We provide test planning, integration, mission architecture, range coordination, safety, test execution, as well as pre-/post-test analysis and reporting.
Solutions That Inform
MTSI models military kill webs consisting of interconnected kill chains to inform decision-making across crucial issues which can determine success or failure in modern warfare. Each kill chain is a linear, sequential model of an attack, while the kill web represents a more complex, interconnected network of attack paths and potential responses.
America’s and our allies’ opponents are actively developing techniques to disrupt and break our kill webs, such as electronic warfare, jamming communications, decoys, and maneuvering hypersonic weapons. Effective defense against these enemy countermeasures requires close collaboration and integration of systems and forces across different domains (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force).
MTSI implements both the F2T2EA (Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess) concept and Boyd’s OODA loop for modeling the different phases of kill webs. In doing so, we provide our customers with the ability to understand what systems and performance levels are required to disrupt and defeat adversarial attacks.
Mission & Operations Analysis
MTSI uses AFSIM to evaluate multi-domain kill chains and kill webs built on existing and future advanced concepts. Our analytic work spans mission areas from Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), Precision Strike, Air and Missile Defense. We often develop simulation and analysis products that combine/integrate across these.
MTSI has a deep bench of AFSIM developers. We use AFSIM to model both blue and red systems, kill webs and multi-mission operations.
Model Integration
MTSI’s AFSIM modeling, simulation, analysis, and visualization capabilities span all domains including space. Our space model libraries consist of multi-phenomenology ISR, communication and navigation satellite constellations in all orbital regimes, LEO through GEO, and include models of the supporting ground infrastructure.
We have executed analysis of present-day, on-orbit capabilities as well as future capabilities at various epochs such as the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 1 and 2 tracking and transport layers. MTSI’s space models are integrated with our surface, ground, and air platform models in multiple Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) kill-web scenarios which enables quantification of space-based contributions and effects when analyzed with our kill-web metrics framework.

Applied Solution:
Mission Assurance & Cybersecurity
Platform Risk Management & Secure Systems Engineering
Platform IT
Experience ensuring cyber resiliency and survivability on varying Platform IT (PIT) (aircraft, maritime, ground vehicles, etc.).
RM/SSE Techniques
Experience ensuring cyber resiliency and survivability on varying Platform IT (PIT) (aircraft, maritime, ground vehicles, etc.).
Equip customers with relevant RM/SSE integration techniques to maximize early cyber rigor and align with federally mandated requirements (NIST/RMF, Acquisition Artifacts, MBSE Integration).
Prioritization
Employ various risk management processes in order to prioritize the mission, maximize cybersecurity and engineering trade space, and deliver secure solutions at various stages of the acquisition lifecycle.
Risk Assessment
Effective
Effectively assess, measure, and communicate risk to decision makers through the use of URAMS, an in-house model that uses a system of connected tools across the spectrum of qualitative analysis and quantitative measurement.
Understanding
Enables the understanding of cyber risk for cyber-physical systems across a wide range of potential environments and use cases.
Integrates
Compliments/Integrates/Aligns with existing requirement frameworks (Risk Management Framework, Air Worthiness, etc.).
The MTSI Weapon Systems Cybersecurity team provides differentiated, comprehensive, high-end Risk Management and Engineering solutions. The core capability within the MTSI Weapon System Cybersecurity team is a full-package pipeline that begins with MTSI’s URAMS risk assessment framework which leads to informed cyber penetration testing which shapes the eventual RMF package requirements.
We use our expertise to identify and characterize risk for a platform, system, or weapon system to help our clients maintain their mission amid ongoing, evolving cybersecurity threats.
