Tactical Retrofit & Cert Support

Defense Retrofit Engineering

From rotorcraft STCs to ISR pod integrations, we help defense teams adapt existing platforms with certifiable upgrades. Whether it’s bonded joint verification or cleanroom interface planning, we deliver mechanical confidence in mission-modified aircraft.


 With nearly 300 FAA STC programs completed, we now apply that cert-aligned rigor to tactical platforms. Our support spans structural mods, fatigue tracking, and DER documentation—built for warfighter needs and field deployment schedules.


Ready to make your system fly smarter—and survive longer?
