Small Business. Big Vision.

Our Mission

Asen Technology exists to develop software capabilities that extend American defense and space dominance into the future. As technology reshapes warfare—from AI-driven platforms to space-based systems—we're committed to building the tools that keep our nation secure and our forces ahead.

We focus on emerging capabilities that will define the next decade of defense: autonomous systems, space domain awareness, AI-driven operations, and secure infrastructure. If it's maintaining decades-old code, it's not our mission. We're here to build what's next.

How We Got Here

Asen Technology was founded in 2025 with a clear vision: defense technology should be forward-looking, innovative, and built with modern practices. Having seen firsthand how legacy systems and outdated approaches constrain capability, we set out to do it differently.

Space Systems

Located in Santa Barbara, California—less than an hour from Vandenberg Space Force Base—we're positioned at the heart of America's space operations. Space domain awareness and satellite technology aren't abstract concepts for us; they're the future of defense happening in our backyard.

Artificial Intelligence

AI and machine learning are transforming defense operations, from autonomous platforms to intelligence analysis. We've invested deeply in understanding how to deploy AI systems in secure, mission-critical environments where reliability isn't optional.

Modern Architecture

We've watched talented engineers spend years maintaining poorly-architected legacy systems that should have been retired long ago. We're committed to building systems using modern practices—cloud-native, secure, scalable—so the next generation doesn't inherit our technical debt.

How We Operate

Technical Excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of software engineering. Clean code, automated testing, comprehensive documentation, and security-first design are standard practice, not aspirational goals. Every line of code is reviewed, every critical path is tested, and security scanning happens on every build.

Operational Security

We understand that OpSec isn't just a government requirement—it's fundamental to how we operate. We're discrete about our work, professional in our communications, and security-minded in everything we do. Trust is earned through consistent behavior, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Mission Focus

We're selective about the work we pursue because we want to support missions that matter. Not every contract is worth taking, and we prioritize work that has operational impact over work that just pays well. We measure success by mission outcomes, not just contract value.

Why Size Matters

As a small business, we offer advantages that traditional defense contractors simply cannot match. When you work with us, you're working with the people actually building your system—no layers of program management between you and the engineers. We make decisions in days, not months. We're not constrained by "how we've always done it" or vendor relationships that lock us into outdated tools.

Our small business structure means competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. No corporate headquarters, no massive HR department, no layers of markup. We deliver senior technical expertise at rates that large contractors can't match because we don't have their overhead.

Where We Work

Our headquarters in Santa Barbara positions us at the intersection of defense, space, and technology. Less than an hour from Vandenberg Space Force Base and part of California's aerospace corridor, we're embedded in the space operations community. This location isn't just convenient—it's strategic, positioning us where the future of space defense is being built.

Official Qualifications

Asen Technology maintains active registration with SAM.gov (UEI: GYXTJGFJW5W7, CAGE Code: 16CV0) and is certified by the Small Business Administration. We're qualified for small business set-asides, prime and subcontractor opportunities, and SBIR/STTR programs. Our NAICS codes (541511, 541512, 541519) cover custom computer programming, systems design, and related computer services.

Where We're Going

As we grow, we'll expand our team with senior technical talent who share our vision: building tomorrow's defense capabilities with modern practices. Quality over quantity, always. We're actively pursuing research and development opportunities through SBIR and STTR programs, building relationships with prime contractors who value innovative small business partners, and positioning ourselves as the technical differentiator in competitive proposals.

We want to be known as the small business that tackles hard technical problems in defense and space, delivers with modern practices, and consistently produces capabilities that matter operationally. Not the biggest contractor, but the one you want when innovation is critical.
