The CTI Mission
SEE the Invisible Battlespaces
Bringing Technology to the Fight.

Founder and CSO Dustan Hellwig explaining CTI’s Mission.
Our Mission
At CTI we create collaboration where none exists and deliver solutions from ideation to operation by rapidly providing open, integrated, multi-domain technology solutions for the Invisible Battlespaces.
Success in modern warfare requires superior capabilities addressing all aspects of the battlespace – including those elements beyond normal human perception, like spectrum, cyberspace, information space, human terrain, gray space, covert operations, and more.
These battlefield environments are not readily detectable, observable, or understandable by “normal” human senses, and make up what we call the Invisible Battlespaces. At CTI, we protect the United States and its allies by supporting our customers’ ability to Sense, Evaluate, and deliver Effects within the Invisible Battlespaces.

Sense. Evaluate. Effect.
Invisible Battlespaces require specialized access, sensors, analytics, and solutions to enhance situational awareness, deliver effects, and promote mission execution.
At CTI, our dedicated team of subject matter experts, engineers, integration personnel, Solution Support, and Mission Support staff, conceptualize, develop, integrate, train, and support these critical capabilities. Backing them is a highly skilled team of experienced professionals in Accounting, Finance, Contracts, HR, Security, and IT ensuring seamless operations and unmatched program execution. Together, we are impacting the future of war by bringing technology to the fight.
Sense
Our Sense Portfolio focuses on capabilities and technologies relating to sensors and platforms – ranging from broad-based, low-cost survey, to specialized, high-end sensor and system application, integration, and utilization.
Evaluate
Our Evaluate Portfolio focuses on capabilities and technologies relating to the analysis, assessment, visualization, and simulation of data, information, activities, patterns, and anomalies across areas or organizations of interest.
Effect
Our Effect Portfolio focuses on capabilities and technologies impacting the operational environment in, through, and around the Invisible Battlespaces, ranging from mission analytics and visualization to the facilitation of kinetic and non-kinetic effects.
Ideation to Operation:
How We Execute Our Mission
At CTI, we are committed to empowering the warfighter by delivering solutions that set the pace in modern warfare and ensure operational superiority.
