Progeny Systems: Engineering Solutions That Last Generations

Company Overview

Progeny Systems Corporation is a privately-held high-tech small business specializing in electronic systems development for the United States Department of Defense (DoD), and other government and business organizations. Progeny Systems' corporate headquarters in Manassas, Virginia offers a full array of computing systems to support the development, testing and integration of leading edge technology systems for the DoD and commercial customers. This facility comprises approximately 44,000 square feet of offices, conference rooms, production area, and secure laboratory space. In addition to the Manassas, Virginia site, Progeny Systems can call upon their other major facilities located in Middletown, Rhode Island; Groton, Connecticut; and our ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing facility in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. Several regional facilities distributed throughout the United States include Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, San Diego, California, Salt Lake City, Utah, Henderson, Nevada and our newest facility in Somerset, KY.

Since 1995, Progeny has provided high quality engineering solutions and services to the United States Army, United States Navy, United States Air Force, National Institutes of Health, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Fortune 500 customers. Excellent technical performance, combined with fundamental business tenets such as listening to the customer, commitment to quality, and extreme efficiency, have earned Progeny Systems a reputation as well as official recognition from government agencies and companies in the private sector.

Progeny has experience and a proven track record in helping our customers maximize their IT investments by:

Successfully migrating legacy applications into open architecture solutions that provide a substantial Return-On-Investment and a flexible environment for customizations and improvements that consistently work for the users and administrators. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies in development of new systems, conversion of legacy systems, or integration into existing systems. In all cases, the focus is on platform portability, scalability, and affordability. Providing open source solutions that minimize Total Ownership Costs and prevent vendor-lock giving the customer the opportunity and flexibility to choose another company in the future. Our goal, of course, is to provide a level of service that ensures a continued healthy business partnership. Successfully leveraging their collaborative commerce application investments to deliver a fully integrated set of powerful enterprise services directly to the desktop—including document and knowledge management, virtual team collaboration, information retrieval, business process automation, electronic forms, event notification, and rendition support.

Progeny Systems was the prime integrator and system architect for the Advanced Under Sea Warfare Concept (AUSWC) demonstration that provided web-enabled collaboration and data exchange between ships and submarines conducting joint Anti-Submarine Warfare. Progeny's independent technical perspective as prime integrator was critical in the successful demonstration of AUSWC. Progeny Systems has been called on again as the prime integrator and system architect for the follow-on Common Undersea Picture (CUP) program that will leverage advances in web-enabled collaboration.

Progeny’s business base can be divided into one of three categories: System Integration, Research and Development, and Product Development/Manufacturing, with an average of 15 innovative research efforts ongoing annually. The Progeny Systems management and technical staff have an average of 15 years experience per employee. That experience spans from former military personnel with extensive operational experience, to real-time embedded software designers and senior systems architects. Progeny products range from information assurance solutions; LAN/WAN management and analysis tools; knowledge/document management; to complete end-to-end system design, development, integration and production. Progeny's corporate "Small Business" status allows it to participate in the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Program designed to leverage the flexibility, rapid turnaround, customer responsiveness, and higher propensity for risk-taking environment in high-tech small businesses.
