IST creates innovative technology solutions across the Department of Defense. IST employees develop successful working relationships with our customers to ensure that we meet our customers’ expectations and get the job done right.

IST’s Systems Effectiveness group provides research and development on a wide variety of technology domains for Department of Defense organizations such as the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

IST has extensive experience in cross-domain analysis through Modeling and Simulation (M&S) of military weapon systems. We support the DoD Enterprise, examining possible ways to enhance weapons system performance.

IST provides analytical tools, resources, and expertise to model, analyze, assess, and predict mission level effects based on human and sensor performance across the Air, Space, and Cyber domains.

IST scientists and engineers are actively working to better understand and develop mechanisms that support effective human-autonomy interaction by investigating both the unique demands and constraints reflected within specific operational situations and the affordances available from various AI techniques to support appropriate collaborative dialog with human teammates.
