Northwest UAV Facility | McMinnville, Oregon

We own the entire process. By keeping engineering, CNC machining, 3D printing, and flight testing in-house, we eliminate the risks of outsourcing. Our American facility operates under strict AS9100 and ISO9001 certifications. This vertical integration ensures every component meets rigorous requirements before it ever reaches the field. Reliability is our baseline.

Stop managing a complex web of vendors. We provide everything from off-the-shelf products to custom engineering under one roof. This streamlined approach reduces your costs and accelerates your timeline. You get dependable power systems built for mission success. We build propulsion that works.
