From Software Engineering to Systems Integration: Desra Secure Highlights Full-Lifecycle Support for DoD Command and Control Systems
ORLANDO, FL — As the Department of Defense accelerates the modernization of its software and simulation systems, Desra Secure today highlighted its comprehensive capability in software testing, systems engineering, and DevSecOps integration.
Built on hands-on C2 and TBMCS execution
The firm's execution capability is rooted in the extensive background of its leadership. CEO Dalton Young has provided critical software testing and systems engineering support for advanced military platforms, including Command and Control Air Operations Suites (C2AOS/C2IS) and Theater Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS).
"Securing a system after it is built is no longer sufficient," said Mr. Young. "Our approach integrates security directly into the software development lifecycle. We understand how to test, deploy, and defend complex command and control systems because we have engineered and audited them from the ground up."
DevSecOps, virtualized enclaves, and lifecycle testing
Desra Secure's capabilities encompass preparing, executing, and analyzing test plans and procedures throughout the software development lifecycle. The firm's leadership has hands-on experience deploying and managing virtualized enclaves via ESXi across both Windows and Linux environments, ensuring that development and testing environments meet stringent NIST 800-53 and CNSSI 1253 requirements.
Additionally, the firm brings a strong foundation in modern web architecture, database management, and programming languages. This technical depth allows Desra Secure to partner effectively with legal, engineering, and DevSecOps teams to enforce zero trust architectures and end-to-end Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) alignment across hybrid infrastructures.
Mission-ready delivery for cleared programs
Whether supporting live test events, managing data reduction and analysis, or executing enterprise-wide OS migrations, Desra Secure delivers the technical rigor required to keep defense systems operational, secure, and compliant — across Florida's installation corridors and the broader DoD enterprise.
