Engineering
We hold one thing paramount – The User. Functionality, Durability, Human Factors, Serviceability and Simplicity and are all essential design elements, but if a product doesn’t serve the user’s needs, little else matters. Whether we receive an urgent request from theater or are planning to market a clean sheet design, our engineering team follows strict design, analysis, prototyping, test and pilot run protocols to insure that our products are delivered quickly and exceed customer requirements and expectations. We view our customers as our essential partners in product development. Video and web conferencing, universal CAD viewers and conventional drawings are just of few of the tools we utilize to communicate with our clients during the design process.
Design and Development
-
Short design cycles
-
3D CAD exclusively used for all our designs
-
Design for part count reduction, ease of manufacture, assembly and field serviceability (DFMA)
Analysis, Measurement and Optimization
-
Linear and Non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) - COSMOS and ANSYS
-
Strain gauge test measurement
-
Weight reduction and strength-to-weight optimization
Prototyping
-
Utilize latest in both conventional and rapid prototyping technologies
-
Bring new designs to market faster
-
Fewer redesign cycles
Testing
-
Products independently tested to appropriate MIL Standards for land, sea and air (i.e. - Composite Wheeled Vehicle Profile, MIL STD 810-G for vehicular mounted)
-
In-house live fire testing
-
Random vibration, gunfire vibration and fatigue
-
Test through US arsenal facilities as required
Pilot Production Runs
-
Insures that products are mass-producible
-
Guarantees smooth transition from prototype to full production
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
SA10 Shaker Test
Live Fire Sikorsky Test
