No job is too large or too small for our team. We have developed technology for smaller projects-such as the Phantom Skull brain simulator for Wright State Research Institute-as well as complex systems for larger projects-such as the Common Airborne Sense and Avoid system for Remotely Piloted Aircraft and the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system, Vigilant Eagle, for Tech Edge.
Turn to DRA for your next rapid development requirement, and we guarantee that we will meet your needs. When Goodrich Brake Systems Division needed a complex Brake Simulator for a new regional jet, they turned to DRA. In only six months, we delivered the system they needed. When Air Force Research Laboratory Electro-Optic Countermeasures Branch (AFRL/RYWW) needed complex field-programmable gate array (FPGA) processing, DRA fulfilled their requirements.
We employ innovative systems engineering processes and have a work force committed to quality performance-a commitment reflected by our track record of accomplishment in technology development and transition.

Services
DRA was awarded its first Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract in 1993 from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to support electronic warfare related research.
A second SBIR was soon-after awarded to DRA to develop an Optical Flow algorithm to detect motion in dynamic scene imagery.
DRA received additional SBIRs from AFRL and delivered increasingly robust algorithms and other capabilities to the U.S. Air Force.
DRA has achieved a 50% commercialization rate for technology developed under the SBIR program while the National average for commercialization is 10%.

Thank you for your interest in DRA, a Veteran Owned Small Business founded in 1986 and celebrating our 30th Anniversary of delivering high quality engineering solutions for our customers.
At DRA we tackle tough problems by creating innovative solutions.
Examples of our solutions include developing a capability to map electrical current flow in the human brain for a university research project (Phantom Skull), creating a sensor that will allow unmanned air vehicles to fly autonomously in the National Airspace (Sense and Avoid), and developing numerous unique pieces of hardware for our special forces (KeCo Switch and Power Harvesting).

DRA engineers apply the systems engineering process to design, develop, test, verify and validate system delivery to meet user requirements.
This is particularly applicable to projects where a final hardware or software product deliverable is the end state of the effort and is to be transitioned to the warfighter.
In cases where a project is purely research oriented, DRA engineers tailor the elements of the process to the scope of the effort.
In this way, DRA engineers provide the most cost effective approach to satisfying customer requirements.

DRA, using state of the art design tools such as SolidWorks 3-D, designs and fabricates custom sensor housings for a variety of aircraft that meet FAA requirements.
This provides DRA with the capability of mounting sensors in the nose, tail, luggage door and/or belly of the aircraft and includes two racks for instrumentation.
