Overview

Saalex is an American defence services company founded in 1999 that provides engineering, test range operations and information technology support to United States Navy and other government customers. Its work covers test and evaluation at naval ranges, systems engineering, logistics, cybersecurity and managed technology services, delivered largely by cleared staff embedded with government programme offices. Headquartered in Camarillo, California near the Point Mugu naval range it has long supported, it is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, a designation that gives it access to set-aside federal contracts.

Products

Logistics Support
Supply chain, maintenance planning and technical documentation for naval systems. It is unglamorous work that continues regardless of which new programmes are funded, and it is often how the company stays on a base between contracts.
saalex.com
Cybersecurity Services
Accreditation, assessment and continuous monitoring for defence systems. Authorisation requirements now run for the life of a system rather than ending at deployment, which turns what used to be a project into standing work.
saalex.com
IT Managed Services
Infrastructure operation, service desk and network support for government and commercial clients. It gives the company revenue that is far less exposed to individual defence programme decisions than its range and engineering work.
saalex.com
Systems Engineering
Requirements, integration and lifecycle engineering support for defence programmes. Engineers work inside government programme offices to supply capacity the Navy cannot hire directly at the pace programmes demand.
saalex.com
Test Range Operations
Instrumentation, data collection and analysis supporting naval weapons testing. The work is concentrated around specific ranges, which is why the company's offices sit next to the installations it serves.
