STR (Systems & Technology Research)
Advanced sensors, signal-processing software, AI, and command-and-control R&D firm for military and intelligence customers.
STR (Systems & Technology Research LLC) is a Woburn, Massachusetts-based defense technology R&D firm founded in 2010, with additional facilities in Arlington, Virginia and Beavercreek, Ohio. STR specializes in advanced sensors, signal-processing software, artificial intelligence, and command-and-control systems for military and intelligence customers, combining sensor signal processing, cyber modeling, and command-and-control for contested missions. The company has a track record of DARPA battle-management software contracts, including the Joint All-Domain Warfighting Software (JAWS) program and the Artificial Intelligence Reinforcements (AIR) program, and has worked with DARPA on projects combining commercial spacecraft with advanced signal processing. In August 2026, STR was one of three companies (alongside Rocket Lab and an undisclosed third vendor, withheld for operational security) awarded a combined $615M in Other Transaction Agreements by U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command to mature Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator (SB-AMTI) capabilities — the program's second task order, building on the $4.16B initial-constellation award to SpaceX in May 2026.
