## Nominal accelerates the delivery of mission-critical capabilities

## Where tests actually get stuck

## Nominal provides a scalable data platform for development, test, tactics, and rapid decision-making

Nominal software compresses the time from data creation to validated insight. Engineers and operators access live and historical data in a shared environment — diagnosing system behavior, closing test points, and driving capabilities and programs forward without waiting days for post-processing.

### Increase speed

### Reduce cost

### Enhance Operational Effectiveness

### Integrate test results and data across teams

### Validate across the full acquisition lifecycle

### Operate in secure and degraded environments

From the field

## U.S. Government organizations and defense technology companies trust Nominal to validate capabilities and field systems faster.

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

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.

We're at an inflection point where our testing infrastructure needs to match the pace and rigor of production. Nominal gives us a single source of truth across every test environment, simulation, HIL, and vehicle so our teams can validate faster and ship with confidence.
