What Wfss, Inc. does

WFSS Inc. (Warfighting System Solutions) is a private, Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business founded in 2019 and headquartered in El Paso, Texas. The company provides military training, leadership development, and operational support services to U.S. military and civilian government agencies, with deep specialization in air and missile defense systems including C-RAM, C-UAS, Avenger, Maneuver Air Defense, Patriot, and THAAD. Its service portfolio is organized into four categories — Operational Support, Training Support, Exercise Support, and Logistical Support — packaged and delivered through flexible Training Support Packages (TSPs) tailored to specific operational and developmental requirements. The underlying technology stack is human-instructor-led, augmented by TADSS operations, simulations, and exercise/AAR tooling, with website references to cloud analytics modernization and data science acceleration that remain more aspirational than evidenced as shipped capability.

The firm's go-to-market is direct federal contracting. WFSS holds SBA 8(a) certification (effective February 1, 2023) and SBA WOSB certification (November 14, 2022), granting access to set-aside and sole-source procurements. Named customers are concentrated in the U.S. Army air defense community — Army Air and Missile Defense units, the 32d AAMDC, the 31st ADA Brigade — alongside a DHS engagement with Customs and Border Protection for logistician support. The team is led by Co-Founder, Owner, and President Lisette Wyno-Brough, with an Executive Vice President (Chris Brough, 23-year ADA officer) driving business development, and a bench of retired senior Army personnel serving as instructors, LNO representatives, and program directors.

Revenue is generated through professional-services contracts under federal contracting vehicles; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is assumed to be quote/bid-based. The company has positioned itself as a community organizer in the C-UAS domain via the FISTA-hosted C-UAS Forum 2023, drawing participation from primes (Raytheon, Northrop Grumman), C-UAS specialists (Fortem Technologies, Blue Halo, Berry Aviation, Torch Technologies), and academic institutions. Geographic footprint is domestic-only, with one isolated international signal (Dubai Airshow 2019). No outside investment, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed.
