The Systems Engineering Division (SED) provides unmatched experience in
systems engineering to the U.S. government and to numerous public and private
agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, consortia, and
commercial companies involved in the advanced application of space technology.
From systems architecture development to system analysis and optimization,
astrodynamics, orbital debris, navigation, failure analysis, mission
assurance, cost and schedule assessment, and economic market analysis,
SED exploits an incredibly broad array of engineering and business disciplines
against a diverse and dynamic portfolio of programs and national challenges.
