Structures, simulation & support equipment

Defense & Simulation

Structural components, enclosures, and assemblies for defense platforms and simulation or training hardware. Werco is ITAR-registered and works with government and prime contractor teams to review program requirements.

WHY WERCO

Build around the program requirements.

Discuss structural components, simulator enclosures, and training hardware with our team. We review the manufacturing scope alongside drawing revisions, inspection, traceability, and delivery documentation.

Our Broken Arrow operations span 130,000 sq. ft. across three active facilities. Fabrication, machining, finishing, and assembly can be coordinated as one package. Review current credentials and the requirements that apply to your program; NIST 800-171 remains in progress.

INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING

Define the manufacturing scope for your program

Bring machining, fabrication, finishing, and assembly into one scope for review, from individual components to simulation structures and training hardware.

Bring to the first conversation

  • General program scope, prototype or production quantities, and target dates
  • Applicable quality requirements, contract flowdowns, and requested qualification documents
  • Whether an NDA or a separate controlled-data transfer must be arranged before technical review

Use general project information online. Arrange a separate transfer before sharing controlled technical data.

Prepare your project brief

Discuss Your Defense or Simulation Program

From prototype through full-rate production, our team operates with the security and precision your programs require. Let's talk about your requirements.
