Manufacturing of Complex Hardware & Assemblies

With vertically integrated capabilities in composite, metallic, and polymer manufacturing, Applied leverages decades of expertise building complex mission assemblies.

Bonded Metal & Composite

Compound structures and assemblies with honeycomb core materials bonded to metal or composite surfaces. Products are oven or autoclave cured depending on the application.

Metal Machining

Large format hard and soft metal machining of aircraft-grade titanium, aluminum, steel and other alloys using a variety of precision 5-axis machines, lathes, and computer numerical controlled (CNC) systems.

Composite Lay-up & Winding

Full range of composite fabrication including laser projection assisted lay-up, compression and bladder molding as well as, filament wound manufacturing techniques. Products are made from aerospace grade carbon, glass, and astro-quartz fibers and resins, with oven or autoclave curing depending on the application.

Advanced Polymer Films & Resins

Specialty polyimide based thin film and resin products available with a range of optical, thermal, and electrical insulating or conductive features for aerospace, and comparable applications.

IP-Enabled Processes & Dynamic Scalable Production

Intellectual property enabled processes are developed through years of experience and investments in specialized equipment that ensure production is on time, on spec, on budget, and at scale.

In-house Testing & Inspection

Testing and inspection whether offered as a stand-alone diagnostic service or part of an overall quality assurance program are critical to ensuring that the product performs in even the most extreme operating environments.

RF Chamber Testing

In-house Radio Frequency (RF) chamber for testing communications and radar antenna systems up to 4 meters in diameter across a range of frequency bands. Testing services include set-up, chamber time, diagnostics, specification variance and performance analytics.

Environmental Inspection & Testing

Comprehensive inspection and testing services, including in-house ASTM material testing, advanced 3D metrology, and thermal cycle and distortion testing. Our NADCAP-certified non-destructive testing (NDT) services ensure component integrity, while structural load testing capabilities support high-demand aerospace applications.

Advanced Materials & Testing Services

Space and defense missions often require advanced materials to perform in extreme operating environments. Our extensive expertise in material science allows us to develop both field proven polymer film and resin products, as well as custom formulations.
