Why iCES
Frontier Innovation. Mission-Proven Delivery. Trusted Execution.
Turning frontier research into operational capabilities for the Nation's most demanding mission
Frontier Innovation
We’re advancing Quantum Computing (QML), Machine Learning, agentic AI, and digital twins. That includes a self-funded agentic AI product that turns legacy engineering artifacts into a digital twin.
R&D to Operations
As prime on multiple Intelligence Community SBIRs with GWU, and through research activities with SERC, we move new technology from the lab into mission use.
Mission-Proven Delivery
Delivered DoW collaboration services for 1M+ users in 90+ countries, earning the DoD Value Engineering Award, and led a $50M NOAA satellite ground systems modernization as prime.
Building the Workforce
Trained 500+ DoW engineers in MBSE and SysML with Georgia Tech, and delivered a systems and software engineering graduate program with Stevens.
