Threat Analysis

Anticipating and mitigating threats in today’s complex defense landscape requires more than technical analysis—it demands contextual awareness, rapid responsiveness, and a systems-level view. At Kitty Hawk Technologies, our threat analysis capability is built to help clients see what’s coming, shape what happens next, and defend what matters most.

Anticipating & Understanding
Mutual Adversaries

We help national security leaders prepare for tomorrow’s challenges through intelligence-driven threat modeling and operational foresight.

Whether informing early-stage architecture or shaping test objectives, we help programs move forward with clarity.

What We Deliver: Threat Expertise and Products to support Warfighter Capabilities

Anticipating and mitigating threats in today’s complex defense landscape requires more than technical analysis—it demands contextual awareness, rapid responsiveness, and a systems-level view. At Kitty Hawk Technologies, our threat analysis capability is built to help clients see what is coming, shape what happens next, and defend what matters most.

Current and Future Adversarial threat Analysis

Current and Future Adversarial Threat Analysis

We aim to combine all-source data with engineering and physics principles to characterize threat systems' performance capabilities and limitations.

Threat CONOPS and Strategy Development

Threat CONOPS and Strategy Development

Our threat analysis extends to adversarial warfighting scenarios involving the full range of threat weapons, sensors, platforms, EW systems, and command and control for use in testing against Blue Systems to inform development and strategies.

Threat System Level Vulnerability Assessments

Threat System Level Vulnerability Assessments

Combined with our expertise in Blue Systems Capabilities, our team analyzes complex threat characteristics to enable to identification, and ultimate exploitation of threat vulnerabilities.

Intelligence Integration for Acquisition, Training, and Wargaming

Intelligence Integration for Acquisition, Training, and Wargaming

Our close ties to the intelligence community allows fully-informed training and wargaming scenarios.

Threat and Scenario Modeling & Simulation Development

Threat and Scenario Modeling & Simulation Development

Due to our expertise in threats and Blue Systems, we can determine the proper form of the threat analysis product to inform Blue System design and operations to effectively negate the threats.

Our threat analysis teams integrate directly with client leadership to support rapid-turn, high-impact assessments. Every engagement is tailored to the operational environment, phase of execution, and unique risk landscape of the program.

Operating with Intense Purpose

  • Agility – supporting evolving needs with responsive delivery cycles
  • Embedded Collaboration – working side-by-side with clients and users
  • Mission Context – drawing from experience in naval systems, missile defense, and multi-domain integration
  • Integrity – ensuring analytical rigor is never sacrificed for speed

Through every engagement, we’ve helped programs reduce exposure, adapt quickly, and deliver smarter systems to the field. Our threat analysis support has informed major defense efforts, including:

Demonstrated Success Across Mission Areas

  • Flagging vulnerabilities during pre-fielding reviews under Missile Defense Agency programs
  • Shaping simulation scenarios for surface warfare systems with NAVSEA
  • Supporting cross-domain integration initiatives in collaboration with academic institutions like WVU
  • Contributing red team planning for Surface Combat Systems Training Command

Threat insight is just the start. Our end-to-end support helps programs go from analysis to action:

Concept Development → Rapid ideation and field-informed prototyping

Capability Engineering → Systems architecture and integration aligned with operational needs

Warfighter Integration → Real-world deployment, training, and sustainment
