GEORGIA TECH APPLIED RESEARCH CORP

Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp specializes in advanced research and development for defense and aerospace systems, with deep expertise in electromagnetic warfare, autonomous systems, high-temperature RF materials, and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor sustainment. The contractor delivers engineering services for guidance, navigation, and targeting systems, including modeling and simulation tools for countermeasures platforms like AN/AAR-47 and GTSIMS. Their technical focus spans collaborative autonomy for supersonic munitions, quantum sensing applications, and mission-critical software reprogramming environments, demonstrating strong proficiency in signal processing, materials characterization, and algorithm development for military electronics. Differentiators include hands-on integration of cutting-edge physics-based research into operational defense systems, particularly in radar, electronic attack, and avionics sustainment. The company maintains a dominant relationship with the Department of Defense, supporting programs across air, land, and missile domains. Work includes sustaining legacy systems such as the ALQ-213 and ARTS-V1, while advancing next-generation capabilities in electromagnetic spectrum dominance and autonomous weapon coordination. Their engagement is consistent, long-term, and focused on mission-critical R&D and engineering support rather than procurement or logistics. Industry focus centers on physical and engineering sciences R&D (NAICS 541715), engineering services (541330), and the manufacturing of aeronautical and navigation systems (334511). This positions them as a technical integrator bridging fundamental research with field-deployable defense hardware and software, serving the DoD’s modernization priorities in electronic warfare, autonomous systems, and precision guidance. As a nonprofit research entity based in Atlanta, Georgia, Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp operates under an 8H structure, leveraging its academic partnership for innovation without federal small business certifications. Their geographic and institutional positioning enables rapid access to advanced technical talent and defense research ecosystems, making them a trusted partner for complex, high-risk DoD R&D initiatives.
