Rapid Prototyping & Advanced Development
Our engineering teams build and validate functional prototypes to rapidly de-risk innovation, validate new concepts, and deliver mission-ready capabilities.
From Concept to Capability, Fast
In high-stakes environments, agencies need to know if an innovative idea is technically feasible before committing to a large-scale, multi-year program. Hawksbill acts as that agile, expert partner. We specialize in advanced development sprints to rapidly design, build, and test functional prototypes.
​
Our X Factories are designed to quickly pay down technical risk, test new approaches, and deliver tangible, working software and models that solve a specific mission problem. We provide the speed and expertise to turn a concept on a whiteboard into a demonstrable capability.
Our X-Factory Advanced Development Environments
We don't just build one-off prototypes; we provide the expertise to build and operate the secure Factories that produce them.
​
A Hawksbill X-Factory is an expert-driven environment combining specialized talent, automated tools, and secure processes (like DevSecOps and MLOps) to rapidly and repeatedly deliver a specific, high-quality capability. Our focus areas include:
X-Factories
Software Factories (DevSecOps)
We provide the expertise to build and operate secure, compliant Software Factories based on DevSecOps principles. We help you rapidly develop, test, and deploy mission-ready applications at the speed of relevance.
AI Factories
Our AI Factories provide a dedicated environment for data scientists and engineers to securely ingest, label, and manage data, and then rapidly train, test, validate (T&E), and deploy Trusted Mission AI models.
Cyber Factories
Our Cyber Factory is an advanced development environment for rapidly prototyping and delivering specialized tools for Offensive Security Operations, automated Vulnerability Intelligence, and advanced defensive capabilities.
Cyber-Physical Factories
We build specialized Cyber-Physical Factories—including Digital Twins and advanced testbeds—to safely analyze, test, and secure your Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) against advanced threats.
Health Tech Factories
Our Health Tech Factory provides a HIPAA-compliant development and validation environment for rapidly building and testing next-generation healthcare software, from patient data platforms to Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).
