Engineering that keeps weapon systems combat-ready.
Anchored by our work with DoW and the U.S. Navy, our teams prototype and develop hardware and software capabilities for weapon control and combat systems across the Navy’s surface fleet, for our Allied partners, for air platforms, and for unmanned solutions used across services. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with Government leadership, we rapidly deliver effective, combat-ready systems to the warfighter and develop the tactics, techniques, and procedures so those systems provide mission dominance.
01
Every functional area on one team, from requirements to installation
02
Labs where software meets hardware before it ever reaches the warfighter
03
Engineers who go wherever the military needs them: pier side, home base, deployed locations, or underway
Capabilities in this discipline.
01
Systems, Software & Hardware Engineering
Engineer weapon control systems that deliver lethality, from concept to the fight.
Our team’s military experience lets us envision how a new concept will augment the fight in an operational environment, and our technologists have the expertise to turn that vision into hardware and software that give warfighters a decisive advantage. We have enhanced solutions from guns to unmanned systems, and we are developing new approaches so combat systems continue to deliver the effectiveness and lethality warfighters need.
Requirements definition, DoDAF-compliant architecture, and C4I analysis
Upgrades that reach the warfighter integrated, supportable, and affordable
02
Embedded & Automated Software Test
Deliver combat system hardware and software that are mission ready when needed.
Our team continuously improves its test and evaluation approach, using embedded testers and automated testing to find problems earlier and cut overall system development time, so capability reaches the warfighter faster. We support every phase of testing, from early prototypes through fielded and installed systems, to ensure weapon systems meet mission needs in the threat environment they will face.
Automated test suites, data-driven test planning, and metrics
Shorter test cycles and fewer issues reaching the fleet
03
Tactics, Techniques & Procedures
Strategies and methods for weapon employment: what to do, how to do it, and when.
Our team brings firsthand subject matter expertise and military experience across the force, so we understand what separates a system on paper from a system that wins in the fight, whether it’s on a ship, in an aircraft, on the ground, or in the network. We turn that insight into realistic scenarios and proven solutions, giving warfighters the tactics, techniques, and procedures to meet their mission with confidence, wherever and however they are called to fight.

04
Independent Verification & Validation
Every capability rigorously tested and independently verified before it reaches the fleet.
Our independent verification and validation teams check every capability against its requirements before it reaches the fleet. Working separately from development, they review builds, run test procedures, and report findings directly to the Government, giving program offices an unbiased view of readiness.
Requirements-based test procedures and peer-review quality control
An independent, documented view of readiness for every release
05
Configuration Management
CM across the acquisition life cycle for more than thirty programs.
We provide enterprise configuration management for U.S. Navy surface ships and warfare systems across the full life cycle, from acquisition, design, and construction through testing, sea trials, in-service, and decommissioning. Our team, appraised at CMMI Level 3 for Services, performs CM in all five functional areas for more than thirty programs. By controlling baselines, documenting changes, and maintaining traceability, we give program offices and warfighters confidence that the system in their hands is the one that was designed, tested, and approved.

CM planning, identification, control, status accounting, and audits
More visibility, efficient change management, better integration
06
Installation & Checkout
Install and check out hardware and software systems in the field, delivering systems ready for the fight.
Our teams install and conduct thorough documented checkouts of systems aboard ships and other platforms warfighters will rely on to win the fight. Because the people who test a system are the people who install it, problems are found and fixed early, installations go smoother, and warfighters receive capability that is ready to meet the mission from day one.

07
System Administration & Tools
The tools, systems, and documentation that keep programs running and operators informed.
Our teams provide full life cycle IT support for the tools engineers rely on and the workflows they employ, administer the systems and tools that support development, testing, and fielding, and produce technical documentation that lets operators and maintainers use, troubleshoot, and sustain those systems. By keeping environments secure, tools current, and documentation accurate, we reduce downtime, shorten the learning curve, and keep warfighters focused on the mission instead of the equipment.

What’s next
Investing in what comes next.
We are expanding our team’s Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Cyber Workforce (CWF) certifications, using genai.mil to bring generative AI into our engineering processes, and maturing DevSecOps and cybersecurity practices to help our customers meet their most challenging objectives.
Featured case · Improved Legacy Weapon System Accuracy
Keeping the fleet’s defense ready for today’s threats.
Challenge
The ship’s defense system lacked a way to combine a filtered target track with a non-filtered, but highly accurate, track measurement.
What we did
We developed a mathematical data fusion algorithm to produce a 3D hybrid measurement of the target position and an associated error estimate.
Result
The predicted target track position and velocity are significantly superior to those generated from the legacy system, and the refined target estimates increased weapons accuracy.
“When third-party hardware failed, an SCCI lead engineer diagnosed the root cause in under four hours and deployed a custom software workaround over a weekend. This decisive action restored full system functionality and averted a 72-hour mission outage during a critical operational window.”
