THE AVASCENT GROUP, LTD. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF193-CSO1

Description

Avascent Analytics provides a Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS), Technology Readiness Level – nine (TRL-9) suite of online and static defense systems and budgets analysis tools called the Modernization Strategy Planning Platform (MSPP). The MSPP disaggregates complex weapons systems into their constituent parts, offering a granular view of system cost across a wide variety of categories (mission, domain, technology category, and so on). The tools cover the United States, as well over 70 other countries, providing users with detailed insight into end-user spending patterns, economic constraints, supplier roles, and emerging requirements. The detailed analysis of weapons systems procurement exists in the context of rigorous economic and defense budget assessments, ensuring that end user’s modernization ambitions are tempered by budget realities in the resulting forecast. MSPP tools are maintained and curated by a full-time staff of 20 analysts and supported by the broader staff of the leading aerospace and defense consulting firm. This allows Avascent to maintain depth and breadth of systems coverage and to provide timely updates to the underlying datasets. In addition to providing unlimited training on the tools themselves, Avascent analysts are available at no additional cost to engage in discussions that deal with the sources, methods, and assumptions.
