Software designed for performance, traceability, and mission success.
The Challenge
In mission-critical domains—space operations, tactical communications, and national infrastructure—software doesn’t just have to run. It has to perform under pressure, interoperate across boundaries, and withstand disruption.
But too often, systems are brittle, opaque, or burdened by legacy complexity. Teams struggle to evolve their code, trace its behavior, or deploy confidently in high-consequence environments.
Our Approach
At Software Factory Labs, we engineer software for the real world—where performance, traceability, and resilience aren’t nice-to-haves; they’re survival traits.
We combine software craftsmanship with deep domain understanding to build systems that are:
- Observable under load
- Predictable in timing and behavior
- Maintainable even under operational constraints
Whether modernizing legacy platforms or building real-time control systems from scratch, we design for environments where failure isn’t an option.
What We Deliver
Real-Time Systems and Communications Software
Built for latency, determinism, and mission context
We specialize in integrating and controlling tactical and strategic communications systems—from RF front ends to mission operations centers. Our capabilities include:
- Protocol-driven control of radios, modems, and waveform processors
- Real-time telemetry acquisition and event-driven alerting
- Secure interfacing with space-ground links and RF infrastructure
We emphasize reliability and traceability for systems deployed at the edge or in contested domains.
Scalable, Maintainable Architecture
Designed to evolve with the mission
Our systems are built using modular, loosely coupled architectures: containerized services, async processing, and robust messaging layers. We modernize legacy monoliths by introducing clean, testable interfaces that reduce fragility and improve clarity.
- From spaghetti to service mesh, we help teams recover agility without sacrificing control.
Applied AI in Software Interfaces
Making complex systems usable through intelligent interaction
We’ve developed production systems that blend AI with structured constraints—for example, enabling users to search product catalogs with queries like “compact but rugged, under $500”.
This capability supports:
- Configuration filtering
- Declassification workflows
- Operational search and discovery
We’re applying the same principles to defense and infrastructure workflows where human intent meets machine constraints.
Secure, Repeatable Development
DevSecOps tailored for constrained and classified environments
We implement full-lifecycle DevSecOps pipelines with an emphasis on compliance and resilience:
- Automated build/test pipelines with secure dependency management
- SBOM generation and secure coding practices
- Agile and hybrid-agile support with traceable versioning and documentation
Our tools and processes support disconnected, classified, and resource-constrained environments.
“Well-engineered software doesn’t just work—it communicates intent, withstands pressure, and supports change.”
Let’s build software that delivers.
Whether you’re modernizing a legacy platform, deploying to the edge, or integrating AI into operational workflows, we can help.
