Discuss Your Program NeedsSpecialized engineering services across the full product lifecycle — from algorithm development and simulation through hardware implementation and field testing.
Custom DSP algorithm development for radar, communications, electronic warfare, and intelligence applications. We specialize in real-time adaptive filtering, spectral analysis, waveform design, and multi-channel processing. Our algorithms are designed for deployment on FPGA, GPU, and embedded processor platforms.
Complete FPGA firmware development from architecture through verification. We design high-performance digital hardware for real-time signal processing, sensor interfaces, and control systems using Xilinx and Intel FPGA families. Our embedded systems work spans bare-metal firmware through Linux-based application development.
End-to-end SATCOM system engineering including link budget analysis, modem architecture, waveform development, and ground terminal design. We support military SATCOM, commercial satellite networks, and resilient communications architectures for contested environments.
EW and signals intelligence system engineering including threat signal detection, classification, direction finding, and countermeasure development. We bring deep expertise in contested electromagnetic spectrum operations and modern cognitive EW approaches.
Fast-turn prototyping from concept to working demonstrations, designed for the pace of modern defense acquisition. We use agile development adapted for defense programs — quick iteration cycles, early risk reduction, and continuous customer feedback from day one.
Applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to traditional signal processing challenges. We develop AI-enhanced detection, classification, and prediction algorithms that operate in real-time on edge computing platforms for deployed defense systems.
Altitech Solutions, LLC is a woman-owned small business founded in Colorado Springs, Colorado — the heart of America's defense and space community. We provide specialized engineering design services for the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and defense prime contractors.
Our team brings decades of combined experience in digital signal processing, FPGA design, satellite communications, and electronic warfare. We've supported programs across the Air Force, Space Force, Navy, and DARPA, delivering mission-critical solutions that work in the real world.
As a small business, we offer the technical depth of a large defense contractor with the responsiveness and efficiency that today's acquisition timelines demand. We're large enough to deliver, small enough to care, and focused enough to excel.
We actively pursue SBIR/STTR opportunities and partner with prime contractors as a subcontractor, providing specialized engineering expertise that complements larger program teams while helping primes meet their small business subcontracting goals.
From defense program managers, prime contractors, and government customers.
Altitech Solutions specializes in digital signal processing (DSP), FPGA and embedded systems design, satellite communications (SATCOM), electronic warfare and signals intelligence (SIGINT), and rapid prototyping. We support DoD programs from concept through production-ready designs, with particular expertise in real-time signal processing for contested RF environments.
Yes. Altitech Solutions, LLC is registered in SAM.gov (System for Award Management), holds CAGE code 112E6 and UEI JQ71RASG1T15, and is classified under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). We are a woman-owned small business eligible for SBIR/STTR programs and subcontracting opportunities with defense prime contractors.
Altitech Solutions is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado — home to major defense installations including Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, NORAD/USNORTHCOM, and the U.S. Space Command. Our location provides direct proximity to key defense and space customers.
Absolutely. Altitech Solutions regularly partners with prime defense contractors as a subcontractor, providing specialized engineering expertise in DSP, FPGA, and SATCOM. As a woman-owned small business, we help primes meet their small business subcontracting goals while delivering deep technical capability that complements larger program teams.
Altitech Solutions actively pursues SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) opportunities across DoD agencies including DARPA, the Air Force, Space Force, and Navy. Our team has experience with the full SBIR lifecycle from Phase I proposals through Phase II development and transition to production.
Altitech Solutions combines deep technical expertise in real-time signal processing and hardware design with the agility of a small business. We specialize in the intersection of DSP, FPGA, and AI/ML — bringing modern machine learning techniques to traditional signal processing problems. Our Colorado Springs location puts us in the heart of the defense and space community.
Please contact us directly to discuss facility clearance and personnel security clearance status. We are able to support classified programs as required by our defense customers.
We use an agile development methodology adapted for defense programs. This means short iteration cycles (typically 2-4 weeks), frequent demonstrations to customers, and continuous integration and testing. We can rapidly take a concept from whiteboard to working prototype — critical for SBIR Phase I efforts and technology demonstrations.
What our partners and customers value most about working with us.
Decades of combined experience in DSP, FPGA, and SATCOM. We don't just manage engineering — we do the engineering.
Fast decisions, direct access to engineers, and rapid iteration. No bureaucratic overhead between your requirements and our solutions.
Located in the heart of DoD space and defense. Peterson, Schriever, NORAD, and Space Command are our neighbors.
