Defense Integration Hub

Mission Integration → Trusted Capability at Operational Speed

Modern defense programs face a persistent challenge: experimentation often fails to reflect mission reality, innovators lack access to accredited secure environments, and promising capabilities stall in the “Valley of Death” before adoption by programs of record.

Parallax’s Defense Integration Hub accelerates the transition of advanced technologies from experimentation into trusted operational use.

By enabling mission engineering as a service, Parallax rapidly integrates capabilities, tests them against real operational mission threads, and supports their transition into deployment and sustainment within accredited secure environments.

Core Technologies and Techniques

Parallax’s Defense Integration Hub combines mission engineering, systems integration, and operational testing to reduce transition risk and improve mission relevance. Core technologies and techniques include:

• Mission-thread-based integration and evaluation
• Human systems integration to assess operator trust and workload
• Sequential and adaptive test design across development and sustainment
• Learning systems and autonomy assessment
• Adversarial red teaming to evaluate performance under contested conditions
• Test and evaluation in deployment and sustainment environments

Application Domains

The Defense Integration Hub supports complex, system-of-systems missions where trust, interoperability, and operational relevance are critical.

Mission-Level Integration and Validation

The Hub enables technologies to be integrated and evaluated against representative mission threads, ensuring performance is assessed in realistic operational contexts rather than isolated test conditions.

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Operations

By scaffolding artificial intelligence and machine learning into mission workflows, the Hub enables trusted human–machine teaming and supports the transition of autonomy into operational use.

Joint and Multi-Domain Operations

The Hub supports integration across platforms, domains, and stakeholders, enabling coordinated operations in complex joint environments.

Illustrative Mission Threads

The Defense Integration Hub support all domain, multidomain and multiple mission threads including:

• Golden Dome missile defense
• Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2)
• Manned–Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T)

These mission threads demonstrate how advanced capabilities are evaluated, refined, and matured into operationally trusted systems.

Secure Infrastructure Backbone

The Defense Integration Hub integrates a robust, accredited infrastructure as a core element of its turnkey mission‑ready capability:

• Multi-level secure enclaves
• High-density GPU computing resources
• Systems Integration Laboratory
• Accredited development, security, and operations pipelines
• Systems Integration Laboratory
• Model-based systems engineering and simulation
• Adversarial and mission-level testing environments

Development and Deployment

Parallax delivers the Defense Integration Hub capability through a subscription-based operating model, providing predictable access to secure environments and mission engineering expertise.

Clients gain:

• Fixed-price access to accredited secure environments and networks
• Scalable service tiers based on classification level, staff seats, and network access
• Mission engineering services aligned to development, deployment, and sustainment
• Customization support for mission-specific requirements, funded by government sponsors

Baseline infrastructure is sustained through consortium participation, enabling rapid onboarding and reduced startup cost for new mission efforts.

Ecosystem Integration

While supporting all-domain mission sets, the Defense Integration Hub is anchored in Pittsburgh’s Secure Innovation Corridor to leverage regional strengths including:

• Pittsburgh Robotics Network
• Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing Institute
• Carnegie Mellon University’s National Robotics Engineering Center

This ecosystem enables rapid collaboration with industry, academia, and government partners.

Huntsville Data Foundry

Secure Mission Data → Validated Insight at Mission Speed

The Huntsville Data Foundry transforms fragmented mission data into validated, decision-ready insight at operational speed. Modern defense programs generate vast volumes of data across telemetry, design artifacts, depot records, readiness metrics, intelligence products, and test results—but too often lack the infrastructure and processes to convert those data into trusted inputs for modeling, test, and sustainment decisions.

The Data Foundry ingests mission data across secure enclaves, aligns schemas, enforces provenance, and produces validated outputs supporting simulation, testing, production, and sustainment within multi-level secure environments. The result is faster decisions, reduced risk, and improved confidence across the system lifecycle.

Core Technologies and Techniques

The Data Foundry combines secure data engineering, lifecycle validation, and repeatable analytics to ensure mission stakeholders can trust the data underpinning critical decisions. Core technologies and techniques include:

• Federated data ingestion across secure enclaves and disparate mission systems
• Schema alignment and data harmonization to enable consistent modeling and analysis
• Data provenance enforcement to maintain traceability, auditability, and trust
• Validated modeling inputs for simulation and operational test planning
• Reproducible analysis runs to support verification and repeatability
• Readiness and decision-support dashboards across development, test, and sustainment

Application Domains

The Data Foundry supports mission stakeholders across the full lifecycle, particularly where decisions depend on consistent, validated data inputs.

Validated Modeling Inputs for Simulation and Test

The Data Foundry produces trusted, aligned datasets to serve as authoritative inputs for modeling and simulation. This enables faster scenario execution, more consistent test planning, and reduced delays caused by inconsistent inputs or isolated data paths.

Enterprise-Scale Data Activation for Program Decisions

By ingesting mission data across enclaves and enforcing provenance, we enable program teams to convert distributed data into decision-ready insight. This capability supports faster fielding decisions, improved coordination across stakeholders, and reduced adoption risk for modernization efforts.

Lifecycle Support: Production and Sustainment

The Data Foundry supports production and sustainment activities by generating repeatable analysis runs and readiness dashboards. These tools enable stakeholders to monitor system performance, identify trends, and improve readiness outcomes over time.

Development and Deployment

Parallax delivers the Data Foundry capability through a subscription-based operating model designed for sustained, mission-aligned delivery.

Clients gain:

• Accredited infrastructure within multi-level secure environments
• Federated access to mission-relevant data across enclaves
• Predictable cost through a subscription model
• Reliable, ongoing support for evolving mission needs

Demonstrated performance across space and Air Force programs shows rapid ingestion, rapid simulation, and rapid validation at enterprise scale, confirming TRL-8 maturity and sustained operational value. Past federal program execution reduces adoption risk and enables a stable model for development, test, production, and sustainment across mission portfolios.
