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.
The Navy's East Coast Stronghold
Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads region host the world's largest naval station — Naval Station Norfolk, along with NAS Oceana's fighter wings, Newport News Shipbuilding (Huntington Ingalls) building aircraft carriers and submarines, and BAE Systems' Norfolk Ship Repair.
RivCut gives Hampton Roads defense teams pursuing ITAR registration machining with MIL-spec marine finishes and the fixed lead times your carrier, submarine, or surface combatant program requires.

What Virginia Beach Defense Buyers Should Know
Naval Station Norfolk shipboard parts need SUBSAFE-level documentation
Carrier and submarine components require SUBSAFE/SOC quality documentation. Confirm your supplier understands Level 1 versus Level 2 requirements.
Newport News Shipbuilding quality audits take months
Huntington Ingalls supplier qualification for carrier and submarine programs requires extensive on-site audits. Start 12 months early.
Marine-grade finishes are mandatory for Hampton Roads parts
Every machined part going aboard a Navy vessel needs passivation, anodize, or MIL-spec coating for saltwater corrosion protection.
