    New call-to-action

    Understanding What's at Stake

    Every component we manufacture could be the difference between mission success and failure. Whether it's an RF shield protecting sensitive navigation equipment, a custom gasket ensuring environmental protection of critical systems, or a complex assembly that needs to perform flawlessly in extreme conditions – we understand the gravity of our role in your mission.

    This isn't just manufacturing. It's about:

    • Protecting service members in the field
    • Ensuring mission-critical systems perform flawlessly
    • Safeguarding sensitive electronic systems
    • Maintaining aerial platform reliability
    • Supporting national security objectives

    The Engineering-First Advantage

    At Modus Advanced, engineers make up more than 10% of our staff – a ratio that sets us apart in the manufacturing industry.

    This emphasis on engineering expertise means we:

    1. Speak Your Language
      Our engineers understand the complexities of aerospace and defense applications, from material requirements to regulatory compliance

      When you talk about galvanic compatibility in RF shields or compression set requirements in extreme environments, we don't just follow specifications – we contribute to the conversation.
    2. Solve Problems Proactively
      Our engineering team identifies potential manufacturing challenges before they impact production. This proactive approach has helped partners avoid costly redesigns and accelerate their development timeline.
    3. Optimize for Manufacturing
      Through our Design for Manufacturability (DfM) review process, we help ensure your designs are not just theoretically sound but practically producible at the quality levels aerospace and defense applications demand.

    Security and Compliance: More Than Checkboxes

    In aerospace and defense, security isn't optional. Our certifications and compliance standards reflect our commitment to meeting and exceeding industry requirements:
