Applied research and digital engineering company Integer Technologies plans to expand its operations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The investment will include additional office space to support advanced research and development activities, conducted through the company’s partnership with Louisiana State University, that will focus on developing software and systems that improve the intelligence, autonomy, and decision-making capabilities of distributed maritime autonomous systems for U.S. defense applications.

“The excitement and traction we are receiving from our federal customers based on the joint research team’s performance since partnering with LSU is extraordinary,” said Duke Hartman, CEO and Co-Founder of Integer Technologies. “Our partnership with LSU has created a unique environment where industry, academia, and government can work shoulder-to-shoulder to bring innovations from the lab to the warfighter.”

Integer Technologies is an engineering and technology company that develops software, modeling, simulation, and data-driven solutions for defense, aerospace, energy, and industrial applications. The company works with government agencies, research institutions, and commercial customers to advance autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and decision-support technologies.

“Integer Technologies’ expansion underscores the momentum Louisiana is building in defense and advanced research,” noted Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois. “By bringing together federal partners, top-tier research institutions and a workforce built to execute, we are creating an environment where innovation translates into opportunity, strengthening our economy and supporting critical national security priorities.”

“Integer was originally drawn to the Baton Rouge area by LSU’s world-class research capabilities, a strong pipeline of highly skilled talent, and the region’s strategic proximity to Gulf Coast maritime and energy infrastructure,” added Jayson Newell, Senior Vice President of Business Investment for the Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership. “This expansion validates that original investment and reflects the strength of the ecosystem that supported Integer’s growth.”

“Louisiana is the new frontier in energy, maritime, and national security research, and LSU is leading the way in discoveries and talent development. We are thrilled to have Integer Technologies working directly with our researchers, hiring our graduates, and building upon LSU’s legacy of supporting our national defense,” LSU President Wade Rousse said. “Integer Technologies’ Baton Rouge presence proves LSU’s research and talent is a powerful engine for recruitment and innovation, and we’re proud to work with them on next-generation technology for the nation.”
