Engineering Capabilities | Defense Engineering Services

DES carries programs through every phase of the life cycle, finite element analysis and systems engineering on the front end, complete vehicle and system builds inside our own four walls, and a track record of scaling a single concept into hundreds of fielded units. About 80% of that work is defense; the rest is commercial dual-use. The process is the same either way.

Design. Develop. Deliver.

Design It

From concept to CAD, we solve the hard problems first.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) — Linear, modal-vibration, non-linear, thermal analysis, design optimization.

Multi-Physics Simulation — High strain rate, crash and blast, penetration mechanics.

‍Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) — Aerodynamics, cooling.

Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) — Vehicle dynamics, mechanical systems.

Systems Engineering — Requirements-based design, TDP and configuration management, interface control.

Develop It

Armor and survivability built for real threat environments.

‍Survivability — Ballistics and armor, underbody blast protection, crew survivability.

‍Biomechanics — Blast, ballistic, and crash survivability; Hybrid III ATD injury assessment; injury correlation to PMHS.

Deliver It

Production-grade fabrication on demanding timelines.

‍Precision Manufacturing — CNC machining, waterjet, fiber laser, press brakes.

‍Certified Welding — AWS D1.1 (steel), D1.2 (aluminum), D1.6 (stainless); NIWC/Boeing-certified specialty welding.

‍Facility — 53,000+ sq. ft. AS9100D-certified production facility with shipping, warehousing, and material storage.
