Deploy critical capabilities at mission speed
Accelerate system delivery across development, test, tactics, and operations, from the range to the field.
The challenge
The U.S. Government needs to field capabilities faster.
Systems are becoming more autonomous, software-driven, and interconnected. Programs, operators, and testers need modern tools to keep pace and get capability to the warfighter.
Where teams get stuck
Messy data
Data is fragmented across formats, networks, and organizations.
Long waits
Analysis takes weeks to turn into insight, adding schedule risk.
Siloed knowledge
Knowledge is lost between stages of test and operations, across programs and portfolios.
Outdated software
Complex systems are outpacing the tools built to validate them.
Features
From data creation to validated insight
Engineers and operators work from live and historical data in one shared environment, closing test points without waiting days for post-processing.
Increase speed
Stop spending hours compiling data after every event. Less wrangling and faster diagnosis mean programs hit milestones instead of missing them.
Reduce cost
Get more from every event. Automated discovery and shared analysis reclaim engineering hours, so budgets go further without losing rigor.
Bridge development and operations
Bring live data from developmental and operational test into one view, so programs iterate on real field feedback.
Integrate data across teams
Vendors and government teams share test results in one secure view and find interoperability issues sooner.
Validate across the acquisition lifecycle
Keep a current picture of test progress and program risk, with no dependence on siloed reporting.
Operate in secure and degraded environments
Deploy in classified, air-gapped, and bandwidth-limited environments. Security and deployment constraints shaped the platform from day one.
From the field
Government organizations and defense technology companies trust Nominal
“Nominal gives us confidence that every flight contributes to learning. Data loads forty times faster, analysis is instantaneous, and the entire organization sees the same context. That combination of speed and shared visibility is mission-critical.”
Norris TieBusiness Operations“In autonomy, iteration speed is everything. Nominal lets us compress the development cycle of data collection, training, and testing without compromising safety. It gives us the confidence to scale from tens of unmanned systems to the world’s largest multidomain autonomous defense fleet.”
Collin OtisCTO & Co-Founder“Nominal is already accelerating test outcomes and can help reduce the time required for flight and weapons testing — delivering credible capabilities to the warfighter faster.”

Frequently asked questions
Can Nominal run in classified or air-gapped environments?
Yes. Nominal's software is designed for secure information handling in classified environments.
Can government and vendor teams work from the same data?
Yes. Vendors and government teams share test results in one secure view, so teams can close review cycles faster.
What data can Nominal bring together?
Telemetry, video, logs, and simulation outputs, live and historical, in one environment that engineers and operators share.
