Orbis is a veteran-owned engineering solutions company founded in 2000 and ISO 9001 certified, employing nearly 300 professionals across seven U.S. locations. The company provides technical and consulting services exclusively to the U.S. Department of Defense, covering the full program lifecycle from acquisition and program management through delivery, modernization, and certification.
The company's core work spans naval ship modernization, automated test systems, and cybersecurity solutions. Engineering capabilities include mechanical and electrical engineering, systems integration, test engineering, IT and software development, logistics engineering, and radiation detection. Orbis supports critical Navy programs, including SEA 21 and NAVSEA.
Orbis has expanded its reach through two notable developments: the acquisition of Canopy Design Lab to advance product innovation, and selection as the first U.S. AUKUS capability collaboration partner for ASC, Australia's submarine company. These moves extend the firm's involvement in allied submarine programs under the AUKUS trilateral security agreement.
As a veteran-owned small business (VOSB), Orbis operates across defense, naval shipbuilding, cybersecurity, and test and measurement domains. Its distributed workforce and multi-disciplinary engineering depth position it as a specialist contractor within the U.S. defense industrial base.
