Uncertainty is the enemy of readiness. Traditional TRLs measure engineering maturity, but they don’t capture operational relevance—or tell you when a virtualized system is truly mission-ready.

Our latest white paper introduces the Mission Alignment and Technology Score (MATS), a decision framework that blends virtual technology readiness (vTRL) with operational alignment. The result: a clear, defensible way to prioritize investments, accelerate deployment, and deliver confidence to commanders.

From digital twins to live-virtual-constructive environments, the shift from virtual to victorious requires more than technology—it requires a new readiness model. MATS is that model.

Space is contested, timelines are compressed, and static models aren’t cutting it. Agility across design, training, and operations is no longer optional—it’s a prerequisite for mission success.

Yet too many architectures stall out at MBSE. Without operational digital twins—synchronized to live telemetry, forecasting system degradation, and enabling real-time C2—you’re flying blind.

In the first installment of a new white paper series, Dr. Lisa Costa—former Chief Technology & Innovation Officer of the U.S. Space Force—lays out why Full Mission Virtualization™ is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s the backbone for achieving decision advantage and integrated deterrence in a contested domain.

This isn't theory. It's a blueprint for operational overmatch.
