Modern fighter jets contain hundreds or even thousands of sensors. Some of those sensors collect data every second, others every nanosecond. For the engineering teams building and testing those jets, all those data points are hugely valuable—if they can make sense of them.

Nominal is an advanced software platform for engineers building complex systems such as fighter jets, nuclear reactors, satellites, rockets, and robots. Its flagship product, Nominal Core, helps teams organize, visualize, and securely share data from tests and operations. The company’s other product, Nominal Connect, helps engineers build custom applications for automating and syncing their hardware systems.

“It’s a very technically challenging problem to take the types of data that our customers are generating and get them into a single place where people can collaborate and get insights,” says Nominal co-founder Jason Hoch. “It’s hard because you’re dealing with a lot of different data sources, and you want to be able to correlate those sources and apply mathematical formulas. We do that automatically.”
