Defense software and systems integration for DoD command-and-control programs
ISPA Technology is a Tampa-based defense contractor (51–200 employees) built around Java, Oracle, and enterprise Linux to support DoD command-and-control and C4ISR missions. The hiring mix—engineering-heavy with dedicated security and ops functions—reflects active delivery on complex government programs (DJSC2, C4ISR mission support, automated infrastructure for DoD compliance). No adopting/replacing signals suggest a stable tech foundation; pain points center on scaling operations in a high-growth environment while navigating federal contracting and system-reliability demands.
