Case Study: Aurora Flight Sciences

Aurora Flight Sciences is using Understand by SciTools to analyze and reverse engineer their mission management software.

Mission management system · Unmanned aerial drone · Significant time and cost savings

An MQ-25 unmanned aerial vehicle.

“Understand™ can take existing code and basically generate any design information or view you would want to see, in addition to performing several useful types of analyses.”

— Jason Bold, Sr. Software Engineer, Aurora Flight Sciences

Customer Overview

Aurora Flight Sciences focuses on agile and innovative development to create the next generation of advanced, autonomous flight systems. Creating new systems often requires learning from other advanced projects and reverse engineering them for specific applications. This process can be very challenging and may require developers to work with many, often unfamiliar, code languages.
