We accelerate hardware development through computational design systems that automate workflows, optimize performance, and enable rapid configuration, integrating directly into defense programs.
General Lattice builds computational design and digital manufacturing systems that eliminate the bottlenecks slowing defense hardware programs. We turn months of manual engineering into automated, repeatable workflows — enabling rapid iteration across design variants, configurable system architectures that adapt to evolving requirements, and production-ready outputs that deploy across distributed manufacturing networks without retooling.
Computational design and digital manufacturing as a single integrated methodology — compressing timelines, enabling configurability, and producing fieldable systems at the speed defense programs require.
Aggregate design iterations, test results, and production data into structured workflows that inform every downstream decision — building institutional knowledge into the development process instead of losing it between program phases.
Build configurable design systems that generate mission-specific variants from a single model. New configurations are systematic and fast — adapt to changing requirements in days, not months of re-engineering.
Explore thousands of design variants in parallel, optimizing across weight, survivability, thermal performance, and cost simultaneously. Converge on solutions that meet competing mission requirements without serial trade studies.
Compress the design-build-test loop from months to weeks. Get functional hardware into evaluation faster — accelerating the feedback cycles that defense development timelines depend on.
Validate designs against program performance specifications through rigorous testing and analysis. Generate traceable test data that supports qualification — go into production with evidence, not assumptions.
Manufacture production-ready systems at point of need — at depot, at edge, or across distributed manufacturing networks. No tooling dependencies, no minimums, no long lead times. Scale as the mission requires.
From prototype to production-ready systems for defense and federal customers.
