Jose Hidalgo
President, Frontier Technology Inc
Frontier Technology is committed to boosting the digital capabilities of the Defense Department by offering agile, cost-effective solutions that swiftly integrate various systems and large volumes of data. This integration is crucial for making fast, accurate decisions in mission-critical situations.
The FTI team recently accomplished five significant milestones:
- Developed a digital platform for multi-domain wargaming, simulation and training that enhances engagement, analysis and predictive insights for complex scenario exploration, thereby boosting readiness.
- Launched standalone software as a service versions of its AI/ML-powered integration platform and applications. These tools, previously integrated into services, now allow for faster implementation and offer different support levels, making them more accessible and cost-effective.
- In the cyber domain, FTI boasts seven years of past performance and maintains the only globally deployable full-scope non-kinetic vulnerability assessment capability in the DOD. Its teams and technologies can assess all of a mission owner’s non-kinetic attack surface, providing insights on potential advanced adversarial actions and suggesting necessary remediation to ensure recoverability.
- Announced two new secure facilities for technology development and collaboration, set to open in 2025: the 46,000-square-foot FTI ORBIT Center in Colorado Springs for the Space Force and its partners, and the 25,000-square-foot FTI HACS Center in Huntsville for advanced cybersecurity solutions.
- Lastly, the company takes great pride in its supportive, ethical and mission-focused culture, emphasizing strong engagement with customers, team members and the community.
“Jose is driving a new level of customer intimacy and employee support, accelerating innovation in our technology and services, and increasing our organizational agility,” said Ron Shroder, chairman at Frontier Technology, Inc. “And FTI is bringing even greater value to our customers as a result.”
Why Watch
FTI’s powerful and agile solutions can be operational in weeks or months versus years, at a fraction of the cost of large vendor solutions or traditional enterprise software implementations. Equally important is that FTI’s customers never lose ownership of their data.
