Guidance & Control
Algorithms for terminal guidance, sensor fusion, and fault-tolerant control under contested conditions. Guidance and control form the backbone of Red Route One’s research portfolio, enabling precision, survivability, and mission assurance for advanced weapon systems. Our work in this domain integrates algorithms, sensors, and control architectures into cohesive frameworks designed for operation in the most contested and degraded environments. We align directly with U.S. government priorities to ensure systems can navigate, adapt, and complete missions under threat of denial, deception, and disruption.
Electronic Warfare
Next-generation electronic warfare systems combine electronic attack, support, and protection in integrated, software-driven platforms. They scan the full spectrum with wideband sensors, then apply AI-driven signal analysis to classify and respond in real time. These systems can jam, deceive, or inject false data while maintaining low probability of detection. Their modular, reprogrammable design allows rapid adaptation to new threat profiles without replacing hardware. They blend cyber and electronic effects, enabling both disruption and exploitation of enemy systems. Operating across land, sea, air, and space, they provide spectrum dominance while protecting friendly communications and sensors.
Autonomous Platforms
We build autonomous warfare platforms designed for a launch-and-forget role on the modern battlefield. Human-on-the-loop oversight ensures commanders retain authority, but once deployed the system executes at machine speed with minimal operator input. Autonomous functions are contained within certified safety envelopes and lawful engagement parameters, enforcing compliance with rules of engagement and mission directives. Mission-constrained planners adapt to dynamic conditions, ensuring decisions remain aligned with objectives and responsive to fast-changing threats. Embedded control logic and verification mechanisms provide accountability, while transparent decision pathways preserve trust. This architecture enables persistent, adaptive, and disciplined autonomy that thrives in complex, high-tempo combat environments.
Hypersonic Test Software
Our hypersonic test software provides a complete environment for instrumentation, telemetry, and data handling on sensitive platforms at extreme speeds. It is designed to manage high-rate data pipelines that capture vast volumes of sensor information during flight tests, ensuring no loss of fidelity or accuracy. The system integrates seamlessly with range infrastructure, enabling real-time telemetry for mission monitoring and post-flight analysis. Automated synchronization between airborne instruments and ground stations supports rapid data fusion, while scalable pipelines accommodate the demands of next-generation hypersonic platforms. This capability ensures reliable measurement, resilient performance, and full visibility throughout the test lifecycle.
Modeling & Simulation
We employ high-fidelity digital twins and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups to accelerate the development cycle and reduce risk. Digital twins replicate real-world systems with precision, allowing engineers to test concepts, verify performance, and validate design assumptions in a controlled digital environment before committing to physical builds. Hardware-in-the-loop systems extend this capability by integrating actual components into simulation frameworks, creating realistic conditions for system-level testing. Together, these tools compress timelines from concept to capability by enabling rapid iteration, early identification of flaws, and cost-effective validation. The result is faster delivery of reliable, mission-ready solutions.
Assured Software
We deliver assured software through a framework built on supply chain attestation, reproducible builds, and runtime integrity monitoring. Supply chain attestation provides traceability for every component, confirming that all software elements originate from verified sources and have not been tampered with. Reproducible builds ensure that compiled binaries can be matched exactly to their source code, reducing the risk of hidden modifications and strengthening trust in deployed systems. Runtime integrity monitoring adds another layer by continuously validating the behavior and state of software while in operation, detecting anomalies and unauthorized changes in real time. Together, these practices establish a secure foundation for mission systems, guaranteeing that critical software is transparent, verifiable, and resistant to compromise. Assured software is not a single product, but a disciplined process designed to maintain reliability and resilience across the full lifecycle of defense and government applications.
