In 2008, the U.S. Navy PMA-209 Program Manager awarded a Letter of Appreciation to GBL personnel for "exceptional engineering support," and development of "exceptional and effective solutions" that enabled the Navy "to meet civil/military interoperability requirements for access to civil airspace worldwide." This award secured GBL's foothold as one of very few small defense contractors that continue to provide technical engineering support to the local Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, California alongside larger providers such as Northrop Grumman, L-3 Titan and others.

In 2003, GBL received the NAWCWD Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, Commander Achievement Award, and a Letter of Appreciation from the U.S. Navy PMA-241 Program Office for its work supporting the F-14 fleet in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

In partnership with the U.S. Navy, GBL had developed multiple patented/patent-pending technologies in the area of electronic combat automation, including:

• Aircrew aid to assess jam effectiveness (U.S. Patent 7,427,947)
• Aircrew display aid to assess jam effectiveness (U.S. Patent 7,511,657)
• Program to generate an aircrew display aid to assess jam effectiveness (U.S. Patent 7,515,096)
