Defense.

Modernization in defense is mission-critical. Progress demands integrating design, tech, and human insight to gain a strategic edge.

Human-centered. 
Mission-driven.

In defense, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The next generation of products must do more than function—they must adapt to evolving threats, support rapid decisions, and fit into complex systems, all while meeting business goals.

Teague brings nearly a century of design expertise and deep tech fluency to mission-critical challenges. Our user-first approach improves adoption, reduces training time, and accelerates delivery—giving you an edge where it matters most.

BAE SYSTEMS

Modernizing battlefield GPS systems.

Redesigning a legacy battlefield GPS device, we worked closely with BAE Systems and warfighters to create a solution built for today’s operational demands. Through hands-on testing and iterative prototypes, we delivered a fully integrated design system—hardware, software, and GUI—that goes beyond requirements to meet real-world needs on the ground.

BOEING DEFENSE, SPACE & SECURITY

Transforming surveillance aircraft.

Redesigning a surveillance aircraft interior for Boeing and the U.S. Air Force, we created adaptable mission stations and consoles to enhance crew effectiveness in dynamic scenarios. The result earned praise from U.S. officials and informed future-ready designs across multiple military platforms.

Tier 1 Defense Supplier

Designing flexible large-scale fabrication.

Designing a 15-foot modular test fixture for a Tier 1 defense supplier, we delivered a precision-engineered solution for advanced antenna simulations. Built to withstand severe testing conditions, the fixture replaced an outdated system, expanded testing capabilities, and cut costs by 20%—accelerating innovation across the client’s defense programs.

Mission Critical Resource

Design for high-stakes missions.

In this collection of insights, we explore how mission-critical design is redefining the future of space and defense. We begin by examining the challenges facing today’s operators—how they interact with complex systems, where trust in autonomy breaks down, and why intuitive design is essential in high-stakes environments. From there, we dive into key innovations shaping the next generation of mission-ready solutions.
