About
Software For
Critical Systems
Red Lake Defense is a software engineering firm focused on defense applications. We build software for sensor systems, data fusion, real-time tracking, and command interfaces.
We work as contractors and consultants—embedded with your team or delivering standalone components. No products. Just engineering services.

What We Do
Custom Code
Software Development
We write the software that makes defense systems work. Sensor drivers, fusion algorithms, tracking logic, operator interfaces. Whatever the architecture requires.
Connecting Systems
Systems Integration
Defense programs involve hardware and software from multiple vendors. We build the integration layer that makes everything talk to each other.
Architecture & Advisory
Technical Consulting
Early-stage programs need technical direction. We help with system architecture, trade studies, vendor evaluation, and technical due diligence.
Capabilities
Hardware
Integration
Software is only half the problem. We integrate with the hardware that matters—sensors, radios, embedded platforms, and edge compute in SWaP-constrained environments.
Embedded Systems
Firmware and driver development for ARM, RISC-V, and custom silicon. RTOS integration and bare-metal when it matters.
RF & Radar
SDR pipelines, spectrum analysis, and signal processing. Integration with commercial and military-grade RF hardware.
Edge Compute
ML inference on tactical platforms. NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm, and custom accelerators for denied/degraded environments.
Payload Integration
Sensor payloads for UAS and ground systems. Camera, lidar, EO/IR, and multi-sensor fusion at the edge.
