Maritime systems engineering and technical support for U.S. Navy programs
Boarhog is a 11–50-person systems engineering firm focused on U.S. Navy maritime infrastructure, with deep specialization in CANES (Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services) modernization, tactical networks, and C4I integration. The company stack reveals operational infrastructure focus (NET, Unix, Linux, RFTI, Bluetooth, RFID) rather than product software; the project list—dominated by CANES upgrades, transport/computing infrastructure, next-gen radars, and UAV integration—maps to defense modernization contracts. Hiring velocity is decelerating despite 20 open roles, suggesting execution-phase work rather than growth-phase scaling.
Boarhog LLC, founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Diego, provides systems engineering, technical assistance (SETA), and professional support services to Defense Industrial Base clients. The firm holds a Seaport-NxG prime contract, DCAA-approved accounting, SBA certification as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVO) and HUBZone small business, and the highest level facility security clearance. Core work spans maritime domain systems, COTS technology refresh, tactical networks, and mission-critical data migration and modernization efforts. The company operates without a traditional org chart and emphasizes accountability and client partnership over staffing models.
Boarhog uses NET, Unix, Linux, SharePoint, traceroute, nslookup, netstat, CompTIA certifications, Linux+, NTFS, Bluetooth, RFID, and Wi-Fi—a systems operations and networking stack typical of defense infrastructure.
Boarhog's primary focus is CANES (Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services) program upgrades, transport and computing infrastructure modernization, tactical networking and C4I integration, next-generation radars, unmanned aerial vehicle systems, and data migration for Navy enterprise systems.
