PACIFIC DEFENSE STRATEGIES, INC.

Pacific Defense is a privately held aerospace and defense company specializing in the design and manufacturing of advanced defense electronics. Headquartered in El Segundo, California, the company's core mission is to rapidly deliver breakthrough, affordable Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities to the warfighter. It achieves this by rigorously applying Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standards and business practices, aiming to enable rapid, iterative, competitive, and affordable delivery of innovative solutions to keep pace with evolving threats.

The company's offerings include a comprehensive portfolio of MOSA hardware, software, and mission-critical systems, primarily aligned with Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS). Key product categories encompass 3U VPX SOSA-aligned plug-in cards (including Software Defined Radio, Single Board Computer, Switch, Digital Signal Processing, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing, and Communications families), CMOSS OpenVPX chassis products, and integrated mission systems. Pacific Defense also provides specialized services in Electronic Warfare, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) & Autonomy, Integrated CMOSS Systems, Space Systems, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities for sensor fusion and anomaly detection.

Led by CEO Travis Slocumb, Pacific Defense is positioned as a non-traditional defense contractor focused on open architecture solutions, which aims to provide faster and more cost-effective upgrade paths compared to traditional proprietary systems. Recent notable activities include securing contracts from the U.S. Army for CMOSS mission systems and Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (APNT) Block 2 plug-in-card development, a U.S. Marine Corps contract for a next-generation EW prototype, and U.S. Navy contracts for AI/ML-enabled EW systems. The company also successfully launched its Moonraker payload on the Avalon Mission, advancing open architecture in space.
