IG Labs®: Engineering Tomorrow’s Mission Advantage

IG Labs

Driven by veteran expertise and deep technical acumen, IG Labs prototypes, tests, and deploys solutions that directly support U.S. military and intelligence operations.

Fabrication Lab

Design and prototype custom hardware solutions (flyaway kits, portable data processing units, circuit boards, etc.) using a full suite of microelectronics fabrication tools, testing equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters/engravers, and other essential tools.

Data Lab

Leverage our in-house NVIDIA GPU resources and Deep Learning Pod to accelerate the development, training, and refinement of AI models that require intensive compute resources.

Training Lab

Receive hands-on technical training led by mission-experienced experts to upskill students beyond foundational understandings to real-world application of emerging tools and tradecraft in operational environments.

IG Labs is the innovation engine of IntelliGenesis, where cutting-edge AI, cybersecurity, and mission-ready software come to life.

We don’t just research technology, we weaponize it for the warfighter.

“What you have developed in 16 weeks is much more advanced than what has been developed in 2 years for our Awards Management System (AMS).”

“This system actually produces useful outputs; our AMS system cannot produce useful outputs and cannot show that a contract is awarded.”

“Each time we have met with you, your team has pushed the technical expertise. It has been remarkable.”

Built by Experts.
Driven by Mission.

IG Labs is staffed by former military operators, data scientists, and security engineers who understand the speed, stakes, and scope of national defense missions.
Whether we’re advancing battlefield analytics or hardening critical infrastructure, our solutions are designed with—and for—the mission user.

“We develop with purpose. Every prototype we build solves a real-world challenge our warfighters face today—or will tomorrow.”

      What is M.A.C.E.?

      The Mobile Advanced Cyber Enablement (M.A.C.E.) System provides a flexible and in-depth converged IT & OT training platform. Operators are introduced to OT protocols, devices, and system configurations, allowing them to begin triaging cyber vulnerabilities and threats within various facilities, components, and weapon systems.

      The M.A.C.E. System incorporates modular system add-ons such as runway lighting system, manufacturing simulations, power system components, and traffic control systems that introduce common use cases of critical infrastructure control systems. Users gain understanding through hands-on experience operating real-world protocols and configurations. Operators also learn how specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) utilized to analyze, hunt, and defend on traditional IT may not be capable of identifying threats or potentially cause harm to the OT systems they are attempting to defend.

      What is DryDock?

      DryDock is an innovative AI-powered platform custom-built to perform advanced vulnerability analysis on virtualized containers. DryDock uses NVIDIA Inference Microservices (NIMs) and the NeMo Agent Toolkit to automate CVE identification, assessment, and mitigation, reducing time spent on manual analysis from days to seconds. Its agentic AI blueprint drives superior performance and cost savings on labor-intensive manual tasks, which will enable organizations to prioritize and neutralize vulnerabilities more efficiently and effectively.

      What does DryDock do?

      DryDock collects standard information about a container, generates a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), creates a list of dependencies, software packages, names, versions, and system types, and compares this information to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures identifiers (CVE IDs) and GitHub Security Advisory identifiers to eliminate duplicates. Then, it generates a final assessment of the container’s overall security.

      What is KrakenAI™?

      KrakenAI™ is a generative AI platform engineered specifically for cybersecurity applications in defense environments, particularly in remote, bandwidth-limited regions. It combines a summarization-optimized LLM with secure data ingestion, allowing analysts to interact conversationally with sensitive threat data and generate operational insights without exposing information to the internet. Kraken not only improves operators’ decision-making abilities but also fills the knowledge void created by limited internet access and connectivity.
