Mission-Ready Manufacturing
Defense & Simulation
From rotary wing components and fixed wing structures to full flight simulator hardware and specialized training devices - ITAR-registered, AS9100D-certified manufacturing for programs that demand zero compromise.
// WHY WERCO
Why Werco for Defense & Simulation
As an ITAR-registered facility with 100,000 sq ft (9,290 sq m) of secured production space, we maintain strict access controls and security protocols required for defense manufacturing programs. Our team supports rotary wing, fixed wing, ground systems, and simulation & training programs with NIST 800-171 compliance and a CMMC roadmap in place.
We combine CNC machining, fiber laser cutting, AWS-certified welding, composites and honeycomb fabrication, and complex assembly under one roof. This vertically integrated approach gives defense OEMs and simulation primes tighter quality control, faster lead times, and a single point of accountability from raw material through finished, inspected assemblies.
