ATRT Originates from the SBIR Program
Innovative Defense Technologies’ leading-edge solutions are based on Automated Test and ReTest (ATRT), a U.S. Navy initiative originating from the SBIR program. ATRT is a patented methodology that enables the rapid and affordable delivery of higher quality software.
ATRT incorporates a sophisticated digital approach to Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Continuous Integration (CI), and Automated Test and Analysis. Using these innovative technologies, IDT is transforming the fielding of large, complex, mission-critical systems–dramatically increasing readiness and lethality while decreasing time and cost.

Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT) engineers utilize ATRT, digital engineering, and advanced technologies to conduct exceptional capabilities-based testing and mission engineering for its customers in the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). These advanced enabling technologies include:
- Virtualization
- Automation
- Fuzzing
- Visualization
- Big Data Analytics
- Image Recognition
- Machine Learning
- Artificial Intelligence
ATRT is an automated capability that can be applied across the entire system lifecycle, resulting in broader testing coverage, increased efficiency and improved quality. It supports the functional, interface, longevity and performance testing of legacy systems, systems being modernized and new systems under development.
IDT employs ATRT methodologies to efficiently deliver disruptive innovation to the warfighter. This patented technology has helped transform the development of many complex systems for the DOD. Read more about IDT’s capabilities here.
