The toughest national security challenges bring complex data, technologies, and mission decisions together.

SPA’s Advanced Analytics Lab is built for that complexity. At our Alexandria headquarters, SPA experts integrate analytical methods and advanced technologies in a secure environment to strengthen mission engineering, operations analysis, and strategic advisory efforts.

The lab also creates new opportunities for teams and clients to work side by side, bringing greater visibility and collaboration to the evaluation of technical, operational, and acquisition decisions. This capability reflects SPA’s continued investment in the people, technology, and infrastructure behind our clients’ most critical missions.

SPA's Huntsville, AL, office hosted a STEM Fest at Madison Elementary School last week. The team kicked things off with a warm welcome from the Military Child Education Coalition and a message from AIEG Group Leader Mike Starling. SPA volunteer Anna Messer then brought the story "Ada Twist, Scientist" to life for our young learners.

From there, families explored a variety of hands-on STEM stations, including:
- STEM Building Challenge – Kids used popsicle sticks and clothespins to engineer bridges and towers.
- Rock Science Discovery – With magnifying glasses, scales, and rock kits, participants inspected, weighed, and matched different rock types.
- Snack Station – Children created their own custom snack mixes to enjoy or take home.
- Hot Wheels Speedometry – Using cars, tracks, and recording sheets, kids measured weights, timed runs, and experimented with added paperclip weight to see how it changed speed.

Throughout the night, drawings were held for SPA Matchbox cars, and the Kona Ice Truck made a special stop to keep everyone cool.

Thank you to all the families who joined, and our volunteers who made the evening so memorable.

Getting new technology into mission use can be harder than developing it, especially when authorization and software delivery move on different timelines and access decisions must keep pace with changing risks.

Recent WashingtonExec articles from SPA technology leaders Raj Badhwar and Steven Hernandez look at this challenge through Zero Trust and platform engineering. Our latest SPA Perspectives article draws out the connection between their ideas and what it takes to build a secure path from development to deployment.
