U.S. Army
Considered the most dominant armed force in the world, the U.S. Army is a complex organization of soldiers, civilians, and systems faced with ever-increasing challenges and evolving threats. To maintain dominance, the Army must continually adapt and transform its investments in people and equipment. Technomics has provided continuous support to the Army for several decades, providing analytical support that spans nearly all of the Army’s commodities and programs, including ground vehicles, missiles and munitions, aircraft, and C4ISR. Technomics continues to partner with the Army in maintaining its superiority on the battlefield by providing the data and analyses that enable sustainable modernization and increased readiness while achieving cost and schedule efficiencies.

Optimizing the Ground Vehicles portfolio
Army ground vehicle programs are a venture of high visibility and escalating intricacy within the defense domain. Many vehicle programs include an expansive array of potential configurations, spanning multiple variants, paint schemes, and integration kits. Thousand of vehicles are deployed annually to diverse military units across locations ranging from Texas to Germany to Korea, necessitating precise coordination. The selection and production of the appropriate vehicles, coupled with the right equipment configurations, demand meticulous attention.
Choose the right portfolio to achieve mission objectives
These challenges are further compounded by frequent revisions to data sources, fluctuations in fielding and production schedules, and the introduction of new or modified kits. Technomics’ analytical expertise empowers the Army to navigate this multifaceted landscape effectively and derive optimal solutions.
Accelerating the Acquisition of Autonomous and Unmanned Systems
The Army of tomorrow will include autonomous system capabilities that are integrated with unmanned and robotic systems. Next generation Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), ground robots, and other autonomous platforms used for reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, route clearance, and combat support operations will combine to minimize risk to human soldiers by operating in dangerous environments. This approach will lighten soldier load, facilitate movement and maneuver, and enhance force protection.
Achieve the optimal balance between cost, schedule, and technical performance
Technomics’ applies expertise with agile software development programs and software acquisition pathways to guide the Army in the successful acquisition and the rapid deployment of these cutting-edge capabilities. Our support to pre–Materiel Development Decision (MDD) trade space assessment of virtual prototyping projects has been key in providing decision-makers with information to conduct a thorough trade space assessment with full consideration of trade-offs among costs, schedule and performance objectives within and across alternatives. Technomics’ support contributes to reduced development cycle time and increased probability that these capabilities can be procured from industry competitively and affordably.
Increasing Readiness with Data and Analytics
The rapid advance of technology, complexity of modern Army systems and a resource-constrained environment demand the most advanced data systems and analytic capabilities to enable mission success. Decision makers need advanced analytics to help them keep pace with changing dynamics and to proactively set conditions for future success. All too often, the U.S. Army’s analytic approach is plagued by latent or low-quality data that require significant effort to produce the basic analysis needed to understand the current operating environment. To address this weakness, Technomics is providing focused analytical expertise and support to improve the data analytics acumen and set conditions for more accurate and timely decisions by Senior Leaders.
Attain readiness goals with data-centric approaches
To modernize the Army’s analytical capabilities, Technomics develops and delivers Standard Operating Procedures, and provides the necessary training, outreach, and knowledge management to implement tools and approaches, fostering efficiency and collaboration across various units and commands. Technomics’ customized solutions have addressed a wide array of analytical challenges. In the area of readiness, Technomics’ solution resulted in the acquisition of 81% more data than the previous solution, while reducing manual hours by 92% and providing near real-time visibility on the desktops of flag level officers and senior executives.
