Integrity

Innovation

Collaboration

Learning

Our Core Values

These four core values are the pillars of our mission. 

Integrity is doing what is right. By acting with integrity, we reflect positively on the values and reputation of our company and its people.

Innovation is doing new things*. While we respect and encourage creativity, it is not enough. The answers we provide to problems must be actionable. Only then are they solutions. Only then are they innovative * Harvard Economist, Theodore Levitt

Collaboration is working together cooperatively with a freedom to speak up and listen with an open mind. When we collaborate with respect and equality, we are better, because each person or organization has knowledge and experience the other lacks. 

Learning is essential to our success and prosperity, both as individuals and as a company.  With continual growth, learning, and improvement, we will be smarter, more competitive and viable to our partners and customers.

Standards of Business Conduct

Our Standards of Business Conduct emphasizes the role that each employee plays in building trust, and the approach that should be taken in making decisions. When we apply these standards, we can move forward with confidence in our ability to make good decisions that build trust and empower our customers and partners. The bar is consciously set high for the following practical and aspirational reasons:

  • Our commitment to the highest standards helps us hire great people,
  • Recognition that our technical services affect the capability of weapon systems important to national security, and
  • Attract loyal partners and defense customers.  

Achieving our mission is only possible when people trust our company, respect our experience, and trust the quality of the services we provide
