Frontgrade Technologies has opened a new advanced research and development center in Huntsville. The Colorado Springs-based company announced that its new Advanced Research & Development Center is located in Cummings Research Park and will focus on next-generation mission processing technologies.
The Huntsville facility is Frontgrade’s eighth U.S. location and is intended to place the company’s engineering teams closer to customers, government organizations, industry partners and academic institutions.
“Bringing Frontgrade’s capabilities to Huntsville is a meaningful milestone for me, both personally and professionally,” said Mitch Stevison, CEO of Frontgrade Technologies. “That’s why we’re excited to build on the relationships and talent we already have in the region by investing in advanced mission processing technologies and working alongside our customers and partners to solve increasingly complex mission challenges.”
Frontgrade said the center will launch with a core team focused on advanced engineering and product development, with plans to expand as customer demand and technology programs grow.
The company also plans to work with The University of Alabama in Huntsville on internships and cooperative education opportunities aimed at developing the next generation of engineering talent.
The new center is part of Frontgrade’s broader expansion in Huntsville, where it joins more than 300 companies, government organizations and research institutions in Cummings Research Park.
The company provides mission-critical electronics, subsystems and integrated technologies for aerospace, defense, intelligence and space customers. Its capabilities include mission processing, radio frequency systems, communications, motion control, power management and integrated electronics architectures.
Frontgrade said its technologies have supported more than 40 years of missions and have been included on every crewed U.S. space mission from Apollo 11 through Artemis II.
