NVG-Grade Materials
Al 7075 and titanium with MIL-spec hard anodize capability.
Tube Bore Precision
±0.0005" on image intensifier bores and lens seats.
Defense Docs
Inspection reports and material certs for your NVG program.
Connecticut's Submarine Supply Chain Hub
New Haven sits at the heart of Connecticut's submarine defense corridor — Electric Boat in Groton builds Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarines, while Pratt & Whitney and Sikorsky (Lockheed Martin) drive turbine engine and rotorcraft machining demand across southern Connecticut.
RivCut gives Connecticut defense suppliers pursuing ITAR registration machining with instant quoting and the documentation rigor your Electric Boat or Pratt & Whitney submarine and engine programs demand.
Electric Boat — Groton
Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarine construction driving machined hull, valve, and reactor component demand.
Pratt & Whitney — Nearby East Hartford
F135 and F100 military engine programs with turbine blade and compressor machining needs.
Sikorsky (Lockheed Martin) — Stratford
Black Hawk and CH-53K helicopter programs requiring flight-critical machined components.
Connecticut Defense Manufacturing Corridor
Dense Tier 2 supplier network feeding submarine, engine, and rotorcraft programs statewide.

What New Haven Defense Buyers Should Know
Electric Boat submarine parts require SUBSAFE documentation
Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarine components need SUBSAFE/SOC quality documentation. Your supplier must understand these requirements.
Pratt & Whitney engine parts need Nadcap special processes
F135 turbine components flowing through Connecticut's supply chain require Nadcap-certified heat treat, NDT, and surface treatment.
Connecticut defense corridor shops fill up during submarine production surges
When Columbia-class production accelerates, local machining capacity vanishes. Have a backup supplier with fixed lead times.
When Your Local Shop Can't Keep Up
When a prime contract surges volume, smaller buyers get pushed back. We give you fixed lead times, ITAR compliance, and mil-spec documentation — every time. New Haven's defense sector demands it.
