Engineering & Manufacturing Solutions
We team with Lockheed Martin approved sources to offer a number of engineering and manufacturing solutions designed to reduce
traditional replacement costs and lead times of aging airframe components.
Our experience on the F-16 platform encompasses both knowledge and capability across many of the airframe elements of the aircraft
including the manufacture of numerous airframe components. This has afforded us substantial experience working within the parameters of
the OEM’s quality and technical documentation, and enabled us to provide solutions for challenges unique to the F-16’s lifecycle.

(MRO) facilities across multiple sites and employs an alliance of certified and licensed partners.

with maintaining operational readiness are faced with critical supply chain deficits.
