New openings further expand specialized
engineering ecosystem aimed at decreasing time from development to
deployment
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced the expansion of
its tech innovation ecosystem with the opening of a new flagship
engineering facility in Lorton, Virginia and a maritime tech
facility in Bremerton, Washington, further extending the company’s
capabilities to meet evolving mission requirements by applying
emerging technology. These state-of-the-art facilities are
strategically designed to provide rapid prototyping, systems
integration, training, and cutting-edge solutions, helping to
ensure mission readiness for warfighters in complex and contested
environments.
The Lorton facility is Booz Allen's third flagship engineering
facility, joining the existing Pax River Mission Systems
Integration Facility in Maryland and an Engineering &
Manufacturing site in Panama City, Florida. Together, these three
locations expand the company’s capabilities for full lifecycle
engineering and niche manufacturing to meet evolving client needs.
With over 30 total locations in major business centers across the
U.S., Booz Allen’s broader ecosystem of tech innovation facilities
delivers dedicated technology acceleration, mission prototyping,
ideation, sandbox and mission testing capabilities.
“These facilities are the latest examples of how we are
investing in new tools, hardware, and capability enhancements as we
continue to support clients by creating and fielding new
technologies,” said Judi Dotson, president of Booz Allen’s global
defense business. “With these new facilities, Booz Allen is
expanding our ability to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy
innovative technologies that help to solve our clients’ most
complex challenges and provide mission readiness.”
Booz Allen’s Lorton Flagship Engineering Facility, home to the
Warfighter Applications and Rapid Prototyping Center (WARP-C), is a
tech hub designed to provide advanced technology exploration and
system integration to meet the evolving needs of warfighters.
Strategically situated near Fort Belvoir, Quantico, and the
Pentagon, this facility is primed to offer rapid, accessible
support for onsite testing, training, and prototyping.
“Our newest flagship engineering facility in Lorton is poised to
provide advanced technology exploration, engineering, and system
integration to meet the evolving needs of warfighters, especially
those operating at the tactical edge of the battlefield,” said Joel
Dillon, senior vice president at Booz Allen. “With specialized
talent in AI, robotics, systems engineering, and warfighter
performance, our goal is to reduce the time from development to
deployment and help to accelerate mission success.”
WARP-C features a high bay facility with reconfigurable space
designed for testing, prototyping, and systems integration. This
area supports small drone testing, as well as payload and sensor
integration, acting as a modular system for rapid configuration.
WARP-C also features multiple specialized labs, including spaces
devoted to warfighter performance; robotics and autonomy; data and
cyber; and material science, all of which are purpose-built to
enhance development, integration, and function in their perspective
areas. The facility also houses a fully integrated, modular data
center with the capability for secure, disconnected operations.
In addition to WARP-C, Booz Allen is opening the Bremerton
Maritime Tech Facility. This center of excellence is a leading
testbed for unmanned maritime technology, immersive engineering,
and rapid integration. Purposefully located in Bremerton,
Washington, the facility is strategically positioned to support
defense clients with pioneering solutions that address the pacing
threat in the Indo-Pacific region. The facility’s focus on undersea
and surface unmanned vehicles is mission-critical, as it enables
the rapid development and integration of advanced technologies
needed to maintain maritime superiority in an evolving global
landscape.
“The Bremerton facility is built to tackle the growing
challenges of unmanned technology, particularly in the Indo-Pacific
region, where maintaining maritime dominance is essential to
countering rising threats,” said Eric Billies, vice president at
Booz Allen. “By fostering collaboration and innovation with our
clients and critical industry partners, we aim to empower them with
the tools needed to navigate the complexities of today's maritime
landscape and ensure mission readiness.”
The Bremerton facility features an Unmanned Rapid Integration
Lab, which provides a secure environment to research, develop,
test, and integrate AI, sensor, radio frequency, and other
cutting-edge technology payloads for unmanned undersea and surface
vehicles in collaboration with clients. It also includes the
immersive lab, which offers the full spectrum of immersive and
extended reality technologies, including virtual reality and
augmented reality applications, supporting both training
requirements and digital twin models for rapid integration,
maintenance, and operational planning requirements.
Booz Allen will celebrate the opening of both facilities with
formal ribbon-cutting ceremonies in October. Read more about Booz
