Overview
Frontier Technology develops software and technical services for military and intelligence organizations that need to turn operational data into decisions. Its systems analyze information from different sources to assess equipment readiness, test mission plans and identify security risks. The company combines its own applications with engineering expertise, configuring solutions around a customer's existing systems instead of requiring a replacement of the underlying infrastructure. Customers use these tools to explore alternative actions and improve the planning and support of defense operations. Founded in 1985 in Santa Barbara, California, the company is headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.
