Electronic warfare, simulation and test engineering for Navy and DoD programs
AMEWAS is a veteran-run defense contractor near Patuxent River supporting NAVAIR with electronic warfare, modeling and simulation, and E3 test work. Its stack pairs systems-engineering tools (IBM DOORS, SysML, MBSE) with lab tooling (MATLAB, LabVIEW, C++) and hardened infrastructure (RHEL, VMware, ACAS), consistent with accredited test environments. Accelerating, engineering-heavy hiring centers on DAPS software modernization and distributed simulation integration.
AMEWAS (American Electronic Warfare Associates) is a privately held defense services firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in California, Maryland. It provides program management, engineering, technical and administrative support to the Naval Air Systems Command and the Department of Defense.
