Military Defense
- Military Defense
During research and development of defense equipment, project managers and aerospace engineers interface with both internal and external teams to achieve optimal performance of the equipment. They rely on trusted, approved vendors to source materials and build custom components. These components must adhere to highly regulated manufacturing and performance specifications and standards such as MIL-SPEC, ISO 9001, ASA 9100. Materials also must conform to requirements such as shelf life, expiration date, country of origin, and specific quality standards. Components are rigorously tested to ensure that they perform within strict guidelines and tolerances to mitigate the probability of failure.
