Precision CNC Machining for Defense Ground Support
Military ground support equipment requires repeatable precision, rugged construction, and exact interface dimensions to match the weapon systems, vehicles, and aircraft they service. A maintenance fixture with mislocated alignment pins can damage a million-dollar assembly. We machine 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 aluminum, 4140 steel, 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.
Fixture-Grade Materials
We source and machine 6061-T6 aluminum for lightweight tooling, 4140 steel for heavy-duty stands, and 17-4 PH stainless for corrosion-resistant fixtures — all with DFARS-compliant mill certs.
Precise Interface Geometry
Locating pins, alignment datums, and mounting interfaces machined to exact specifications. We verify critical dimensions on our CMM to ensure your GSE interfaces correctly with fielded hardware.
Full Documentation
First article inspection reports, dimensional data, material certs, and process records. We document to your program's quality requirements for GSE acceptance.

NIST-traceableServing the US Defense Ground Support Industry
Every weapon system, aircraft, and vehicle in the US military inventory requires ground support equipment for testing, maintenance, handling, and transport. From flight line tooling to depot-level fixtures, GSE keeps the force ready to operate.
Sustainment programs across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines drive continuous demand for precision-machined test stands, alignment tools, and handling equipment. As legacy systems get upgraded and new platforms enter service, GSE demand grows.
Whether your team is building prototype fixtures for a new weapon system or manufacturing production tooling for depot maintenance, we machine the parts you need with the documentation your program requires.
Lockheed Martin — Sustainment
F-35, C-130, and rotary wing sustainment programs driving demand for depot-level maintenance fixtures, alignment tools, and functional test equipment.
General Dynamics — GDLS Support
Abrams, Stryker, and LAV sustainment programs requiring precision-machined handling jigs, test fixtures, and component maintenance tooling.
Raytheon — Missile Support Equipment
Missile handling, loading, and test equipment for Patriot, SM-series, and precision-guided munition programs requiring custom machined fixtures.
Northrop Grumman — Aircraft GSE
B-21, Global Hawk, and E-2D support equipment programs driving demand for flight line tooling, calibration fixtures, and transport cradles.
Built for GSE Programs
Ground support equipment needs precise interfaces, repeatable quality, and complete documentation.
Precise Interface Geometry
We machine locating pins, alignment datums, and mounting surfaces to exact specifications. Your GSE interfaces correctly with fielded hardware because we verify every critical dimension on our CMM.
First Article Inspection
We provide full FAI reports with dimensional data, material certs, and process documentation. Reports formatted to match your program's quality requirements for GSE acceptance.
DFARS-Compliant Materials
We source aluminum, steel, and stainless steel from DFARS-compliant domestic mills. Full mill certs and heat lot traceability on every order for your program audit trail.
Fast Prototype Turnaround
Sustainment timelines do not wait. Prototype fixtures and tooling in 5 to 8 days so your maintenance schedule stays on track. Rush orders available for urgent depot requirements.
