How it works
Space System Solutions
DCS delivers decades of leadership in probabilistic risk modeling, providing trusted insight into space‑flight hazards. We pioneered industry‑leading trajectory and debris analysis software that protects people and property worldwide. In 2026, the FAA granted DCS a Safety Element Approval for our debris analysis methodology. Our commercial tool suite enables RCC‑321 and FAA Part 450‑compliant risk assessments powered by proven Range Risk Analysis Tool and Trajectory Toolkit engines. Our internationally recognized team continues advancing risk analysis to support the future of U.S. spaceflight.
We are industry leaders in ensuring public safety for complex test operations. With over 40 years of experience, our team provides comprehensive risk assessments for government partners across the DOW. For launch and missile defense, we analyze trajectories and model failure scenarios to inform “Go/No-Go” decisions. For new high-speed weapons, we help understand alternatives to range containment. We are now applying this expertise to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), developing innovative, risk-based path planning tools to minimize public risk during missions.
DCS brings deep expertise in AI‑operator teaming for space systems, including our role as prime contractor for operator integration in AFRL’s STARS SDPE program. Powered by our TECUMSA Human-Machine Interface framework, we unite human‑factors psychologists, software engineers, and space‑domain experts to build transparent, explainable, and trust‑driven interfaces. Our solutions elevate human‑machine collaboration, enhancing shared awareness, strengthening operator confidence, and ensuring mission‑ready performance. Even in highly complex, autonomous, and extended‑duration space operations, DCS delivers intuitive, resilient technologies that keep missions on track.
DCS strengthens U.S. space superiority with next‑generation synthetic environments and battlespace analytics, delivering mission‑ready digital tools built on decades of Modeling, Simulation & Analysis expertise. As the original developers of key AFSIM space capabilities, DCS advances USSF Space Flag training and modernizes integrated digital ranges with high‑fidelity system models, immersive operational scenarios, and mission‑utility analysis. Our multidisciplinary teams accelerate readiness for DOW by continuously evolving software, simulation frameworks, and digital platforms that empower operators to train, innovate, and outpace emerging threats.
DCS provides deep experience in the advancement of new material and sensor technologies for on-orbit Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance applications. Our long-time support for the Air Force Research Laboratory and Naval Research Laboratory includes growth and characterization of strained-layer superlattices for next-generation infrared sensing, development of metamaterials for novel photonic systems, and adaptation and testing of advanced camera systems for use in space environments.
