Precision CNC Machining for Defense Communications
Military communications equipment requires precision enclosures, tight RF sealing surfaces, and EMI shielding features. A waveguide flange that is off by 0.002 inches can cause signal loss and degrade comms range. We machine 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum, copper alloys, and 17-4 PH stainless to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. Every order ships with CMM reports, material certs, and DFARS-compliant traceability.
RF-Grade Materials
We source and machine 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum, copper alloys for waveguides, and 17-4 PH stainless — all with DFARS-compliant mill certs and full traceability.
EMI Shielding Features
We machine gasket grooves, finger stock channels, and conductive coating-ready surfaces. Tight tolerances on shielding interfaces for proper RF attenuation.
Full Documentation
Dimensional inspection reports, material certs, and process records. We document to MIL-STD requirements for communications program acceptance.

Thermal managementServing the US Defense Communications Industry
The US military depends on secure, reliable communications across every domain — land, sea, air, space, and cyber. Every tactical radio, satellite terminal, and electronic warfare system requires precision-machined enclosures and RF components.
Programs like JADC2, JTRS, and next-generation SATCOM are driving demand for machine shops that understand RF enclosure requirements, EMI shielding, and MIL-STD environmental specifications.
Whether your team is developing prototype communications hardware or manufacturing production enclosures, we machine the parts you need with the documentation your program requires.
L3Harris Technologies
Leading provider of tactical radios, satellite communications, and electronic warfare systems. Massive supply chain demand for precision-machined RF enclosures.
Raytheon — Communications Systems
Advanced radar, electronic warfare, and communications systems requiring precision-machined waveguide components and RF enclosures.
Collins Aerospace — Avionics & Comms
Airborne and ground-based communications systems. Radio, data link, and network equipment requiring precision-machined aluminum enclosures.
General Dynamics Mission Systems

Built for Communications Programs
RF enclosures and communications hardware need a shop that understands EMI shielding and mil-spec quality.
EMI Shielding Expertise
We machine gasket grooves, finger stock channels, and shielding interfaces with the tight tolerances needed for proper RF attenuation in military communications enclosures.
DFARS-Compliant Materials
We source aluminum, copper alloys, and stainless steel from DFARS-compliant domestic mills. Full mill certs and heat numbers on every order.
CMM Inspection on Every Order
We verify every critical dimension — flange flatness, connector port locations, and gasket groove depths — before shipping. CMM reports included.
Fast Prototype Turnaround
Program timelines do not wait. Prototype communications enclosures in 5 to 7 days so your development schedule stays on track.
