NAML Mission

To optimize products and systems in the hands of the warfighters by incorporating UX into our engineering lifecycles. UX ensures products and systems are designed around the users' strengths & weaknesses; their environments, and missions. Our customers don't have the luxury to select the best from many options like we do in our daily lives. They must trust their success and even their lives on what we provide them. Therefore, it is our duty to design the best, the first time around. UX provides the rigorous design process to make this happen.
