Defense Programs

Modeling, Simulation &
Analytic Support for Defense

Specialized environmental modeling, uncertainty-aware analytics, and AI/ML evaluation for defense mission systems operating in complex, data-rich, and contested environments.

Our Defense Work

Rigorous Assessment for Mission-Consequence Environments

Earthwise provides embedded modeling, simulation, and analytic support for defense mission systems operating in complex, data-rich, and contested environments. We deliver specialized expertise in environmental modeling, uncertainty-aware analytics, and AI/ML evaluation — supporting the test, evaluation, and operational readiness of systems where analytic failures carry mission consequences.

Our work is relevant to defense programs requiring rigorous, evidence-based assessment of modeling and simulation systems, multi-source data fusion workflows, and AI-enabled decision support tools. We integrate directly into program teams to support DT&E, analytic validation, and research-to-operations transitions within DoD and IC-adjacent environments.

Technical Capabilities

Capabilities for Defense

Environmental Modeling & Prediction

Atmospheric, oceanic, and coupled system modeling in support of operational forecasting and mission planning.

M&S-Based Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E)

Design and execution of simulation-based test frameworks to assess system performance prior to operational deployment.

AI/ML Robustness & V&V

Structured evaluation of AI-enabled analytic systems for bias, explainability, performance degradation, and operational reliability.

Uncertainty Quantification & Risk Analysis

Characterizing model and analytic uncertainty to support confident, evidence-based decision-making under operational constraints.

Multi-Source Data Fusion Assessment

Evaluating the integration of satellite, in situ, and sensor-derived data within operational analytic workflows.

Analytic Workflow Evaluation & Configuration Control

End-to-end assessment of pipeline integrity, reproducibility, and traceability in HPC and cloud environments.
