About Us
Z-Division Technologies is a Huntsville-based small business located near Redstone Arsenal and the Marshall Space Flight Center. We provide high-end engineering analysis, test and evaluation, and technical support services to commercial partners and U.S. Government customers.
Z-Division Technologies is a next-generation engineering firm built to solve the missions nobody else can. We operate at the intersection of space, RF systems, weaponeering, and advanced sensing—where the technical terrain is unforgiving, timelines are aggressive, and failure is not an option.
Z-Division was founded on a simple belief: The hardest problems demand precision, velocity, and absolute ownership. We partner with government and industry to rapidly design, prototype, field, and scale systems that close capability gaps—whether that’s RF propagation modeling, transparent antenna research, SDR architectures, weaponeering support, or end-to-end mission engineering.
Core Competencies
- Systems Engineering — architecture definition, trade studies, requirements flowdown, interfaces, and CONOPS development.
