Trace Systems

Trace Systems Inc. operates as a specialized defense engineering firm, dedicated to delivering mission-critical capabilities and advanced technological solutions for the most demanding national security requirements. With a strategic focus on enabling secure and agile mission execution, the company functions as a comprehensive integrator and technology provider for the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the Intelligence Community. Trace Systems Inc. excels in digital transformation, providing assured communications, sophisticated distributed edge architecture, and innovative cloud-based cross domain solutions. Their core mission revolves around supporting crucial operations, modernizing digital infrastructure, and implementing robust system solutions that ensure operational success for federal government clients globally. This commitment is underpinned by a significant global presence and a proven track record in addressing complex national security challenges.

Leveraging a robust portfolio of advanced technologies, Trace Systems Inc. designs and deploys sophisticated connectivity solutions essential for contemporary defense operations. This includes providing access to high-speed internet via Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks such as Starlink, critical mobile satellite services through the Iridium constellation, and comprehensive VSAT networks for global reach. A cornerstone of their technical offering is M-DRIVE, an innovative hyperconverged infrastructure and software-defined data center platform. M-DRIVE is engineered for optimized Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) efficiencies, functioning as a rack-mountable or ruggedized tactical platform capable of hosting multiple active and inactive mission enclaves with differing security classifications. This capability supports multi-tenant network environments and is validated with a Technical Risk Rating from the NCDSMO, signifying its robustness for demanding scenarios. Further technical expertise encompasses Zero Trust architecture implementations, multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies, advanced cross domain solutions, and intricate Satellite & RF Solutions crucial for coalition C5ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) initiatives.

The technical solutions provided by Trace Systems Inc. are directly applied to solve critical challenges across various defense and intelligence sectors. For instance, their contributions to Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiatives, notably through contracts like the Air Force's Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and the Missile Defense Agency’s Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, enhance the integration of sensors, decision-makers, and weapons across multiple domains. Trace Systems Inc. is instrumental in modernizing tactical communication networks for the U.S. Army, providing hardware, software, and engineering services under programs such as GTACS II. They facilitate seamless mission partner environment capabilities, enabling secure coalition information sharing for deployed forces. Furthermore, their expertise extends to enterprise IT as a service, exemplified by the Air Force EITaaS Base Infrastructure Modernization (BIM) contract, which transforms base area networks to support Zero Trust principles and multi-domain operations. These applications range from establishing internet cafes for service members deployed globally under the MWR ICP to providing comprehensive mobile satellite services for the U.S. Space Force and supporting global logistics for tactical SATCOM systems.

Trace Systems Inc. delivers substantial operational value through its commitment to reliability, extensive global reach, and comprehensive managed services. The company maintains a 24/7 Network and Operations Control Center (NOCC) in Tampa, Florida, ensuring continuous monitoring and support for critical systems worldwide. This operational backbone, combined with strategic international entities and in-theater facilities, provides an unparalleled capacity for deploying and sustaining complex solutions across all Combatant Commands. Trace Systems Inc. upholds stringent security and quality standards, evidenced by its CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification, alongside ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO 9001 certifications, which underscore its dedication to robust cybersecurity and certified quality management. Their broad portfolio of contract vehicles—including Army GTACS II, DISA CS3, and GSA OASIS+—enables rapid acquisition and flexible procurement pathways for federal agencies, facilitating the timely delivery of end-to-end solutions. This integrated approach guarantees continuous uptime, secure data handling, and expert engineering support throughout the entire system lifecycle management for the most challenging national security missions.
