Our Capabilities
Design & Analysis
Our engineering team specializes in developing high-performance aerospace structures, combining innovative design with manufacturing expertise. From concurrent engineering support to structural analysis and custom tooling, we collaborate with customers to optimize designs for efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness.

Concurrent Engineering
We offer concurrent engineering services, working with customers to optimize designs for manufacturability and cost-effective production.
Structural Design and Analysis
Our design and analysis engineers specialize in solving complex structural challenges, particularly for precision aerospace components such as antenna reflectors and optic benches.
Tooling, GSE and STE
With a skilled engineering team, we design custom tooling and support equipment for the manufacturing and testing of metal bond and composite structural assemblies.
Fabrication & Assembly
Our fabrication and assembly services encompass the full spectrum of aerospace manufacturing. From Nadcap-certified metal bond preparation to precision machining and composite fabrication, we handle every aspect in-house. With advanced curing systems, component detailing, and specialized painting capabilities, we ensure high-quality results for complex assemblies, all supported by a dedicated clean and prime center for optimal bonding conditions.

Composite Layup
Certified for composite fabrication, we offer dedicated rooms equipped with laser projection systems, ply cutters, and freezers, some of which are designated for fiberglass and astroquartz to maintain a conductive-free environment.
Oven and Autoclave Curing
With five autoclaves and eight ovens, we handle large parts, with maximum dimensions of 16′ diameter by 30′ long, for curing.
Clean and Prime Center
On-site Nadcap-certified chemical processing and large processing tanks prepare metallic parts for bonding. Ensuring thorough cleaning and priming of parts before bonding.
Precision Machining
Our extensive in-house machine shop, including CNC lathes, mills, waterjet cutters, and large 5-axis CNC routers, eliminates the need for outsourcing bonded assemblies.
Component Level Detailing
A skilled team of technicians provides detailed work on bonded assemblies, including installing inserts, rivets, fittings, and ground straps.
Painting
Equipped with multiple paint booths, we apply primers, paints, and specialized coatings, including tight tolerance applications using a paint robot.
Inspection & Testing
We offer comprehensive inspection and testing services, including in-house ASTM testing, advanced 3D metrology, and thermal cycle and distortion testing. Our Nadcap-certified NDT services ensure component integrity, while structural load testing capabilities support high-demand aerospace applications.

Work-in-Process (WIP) Testing
Material qualification and acceptance in our composite and metal ASTM testing lab.
3D Metrology
Our Nadcap M&I Certified metrology services include a range of 3D systems such as Laser Trackers, Photogrammetry, Faro and Romer Arms, and CMM’s.
Thermal Distortion Testing
Using photogrammetry, we evaluate structural distortion at extreme temperatures, ensuring precision for communication antennas with strict surface tolerances.
Non-destructive Testing
With Nadcap NDT certification and level-3 certified inspectors, we perform dye-penetrant inspection and Through Transmission Ultrasound (TTU), including both C-scan and A-scan.
Thermal Cycle Testing
Multiple thermal cycle chambers simulate environmental conditions for hardware qualification and acceptance testing.
Structural Load Testing
A large reaction frame supports structural load testing, capable of up to 500 data channels, 40 load channels, and 1 million pounds of vertical load within a 15’x15’x18′ envelope.
Fabrication & Assembly
AASC employs experienced engineers, analysts, and designers to support “build-to-specification” requirements. We are also uniquely qualified with a large staff of manufacturing engineers that provide key producibility feedback on our own designs and can provide the same feedback as part of “concurrent engineering” efforts with our customers.
