EFFECTS Delivered
15 years leading full-cycle modernization, deployment, and sustainment of GBS (Global Broadcast Service), which provides high-speed, high-volume, one-way SATCOM transmissions for operational data and streaming.
10 years developing, deploying, and supporting GUNSS (GEOINT Unified Naval Streaming Service), which fuses multiple intel feeds in a single window with exploitation tools to provide commanders with unrivaled situational awareness, UX/UI, and battlespace control. Deployed globally on 78 USN warships.
Sawtooth Systems created and deployed the Navy’s VDS (Video Distribution System). VDS allows operators to simultaneously stream dozens of full-motion video (FMV) feeds from the full gamut of platforms, be it ISR, maritime assets, or boots on the ground.
5 years of experience as the senior consultants and engineers for the US Space Force’s protected wideband Military SATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT), which modernized Department of War (DoW) legacy satellite systems.
5 years with Navy Rapid Capabilities Office’s Project Overmatch to bring pLEO SATCOM capabilities to Carrier Strike Groups’ RC3 (Resilient Command and Control and Communications).
Sawtooth has over 12 years of experience supporting the Navy’s Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES), which provides Local Area Networks (LAN) aboard ships to integrate and enable all combat and information systems afloat, supporting warfighter lethality and survivability.
Sawtooth deployed the Automated Digital Network System (ADNS), which modernized legacy afloat systems to greatly improve their cybersecurity posture.
R-Defense is a threat detection software for surveillance systems that leverages the latest AI algorithms to detect weapons and prevent active shooter scenarios at our nation’s most vulnerable locations.
"Sawtooth Systems Senior Engineer's support across all engineering efforts for ACTIII was nothing short of exemplary. They consistently bridged the gap between complex engineering requirements and execution, ensuring that design, integration, and testing phases were completed with precision. Their ability to collaborate effectively with diverse technical teams allowed him to streamline processes, mitigate risks early, and maintain momentum on high-priority engineering tasks. Their unwavering commitment to excellence was a driving force behind meeting the rigorous demands of the ACTIII timeline."

DECADES of Experience.
Zero Margin for Error.
Sawtooth Systems was built by engineers who have spent careers inside the most demanding communications programs in the Department of War. That depth of experience isn't a credential—it's the reason our systems work when others don't.
