Our team writes the low-level, mission-critical code that runs inside seekers, guidance units, and fire control systems, and we build the AI and networking software that ties our entire engineering value chain together.

We develop and integrate software on real-time operating systems including VxWorks and RT Linux, implementing guidance loops, sensor processing, and actuator control. This same RTOS expertise underpins the real-time performance of our simulation engine, ensuring our models run with the fidelity and timing accuracy that classified analysis demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/llama.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-220\" style=\"border-radius:20px;width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/llama.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/llama-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/llama-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\">Open-Weight LLMs with Custom LoRA Fine-Tuning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We heavily deploy open-weight large language models fine-tuned with custom LoRA adapters trained on the output of massive Monte Carlo simulation campaigns. Open-weight models give us full transparency, on-premises control, and the ability to operate in classified environments without depending on external API providers. Our GPU clusters generate the training data, our engineers curate and validate it, and the resulting LoRA-adapted models deliver fire control recommendations and threat analysis that would be impossible through traditional approaches alone. This closed-loop capability \u2014 from simulation to AI to validated decision support \u2014 is what our infrastructure is built to deliver at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/secure_tcpip.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218\" style=\"border-radius:20px;width:620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/secure_tcpip.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/secure_tcpip-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.missileexperts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/secure_tcpip-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\">Secure Network Architecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our facilities are connected through encrypted site-to-site VPN tunnels with x509 certificate-based authentication.
