Software Engineering & Development
Mission-critical software built across the full lifecycle, with requirements traceability, disciplined configuration management, and interfaces designed around the operator.
For more than 25 years, SDC has engineered the software and mission systems the Department of War depends on, from combat and sensor systems to strategic weapon control.
Founded in 1997, Solutions Development Corporation delivers software engineering, systems engineering, and cybersecurity to the U.S. Department of War, including the Navy and Air Force, along with other federal and private-sector customers who need demanding technical work done right the first time.
We work as a value-added business unit. On some efforts we strengthen the resources a customer already has in place; on others we stand up a complete solution and carry it through the full engineering lifecycle. Our customers, whether a government program office or a prime, count on us to take ownership of the outcome.
Headquartered minutes from Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, we stay flat, local, and accountable, with a named point of contact on every task. That discipline lets us respond quickly when requirements change, whether that means pushing an authorization package through a tight window or resolving an emergent fleet issue in hours.
