What Springfield Defense Buyers Should Know
Westover ARB C-5 Galaxy parts are oversized
C-5 structural components can be very large. Confirm your supplier has large-envelope CNC machines capable of handling outsized parts.
General Dynamics Pittsfield submarine electronics need ESD-safe handling
Electronic warfare enclosures for submarine programs require ESD-controlled manufacturing and packaging. Verify your supplier's procedures.
