Defense Hardware Experience
Two decades of complex electro-mechanical production, applied to the mission.
Supporting the companies building America's low-cost drone capacity.
The Drone Dominance program is pushing the defense industrial base toward faster, cheaper, higher-volume production of small unmanned systems. ProForge helps drone manufacturers meet that moment with scalable US-based assembly, kitting, packaging, and fulfillment capacity — the skilled industrial workforce and surge capacity the FY27 NDAA's Rebuilding the Arsenal of Freedom calls for.
“Every nation ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of national supply.”
What a nation can build, it can defend. ProForge exists to make that capacity real — US-based drone and defense-hardware production, at the scale the mission requires.
Production operations for drone and defense-hardware programs.
Electronics contract manufacturers build boards. Traditional 3PLs move boxes. Defense programs need something in between: precision final assembly, lot-controlled component handling, in-line firmware and functional test, and delivery against hard program windows.
That is what ProForge operates. Factory-grade process discipline without the overhead or lead times of a traditional CM — and the documentation defense programs actually require.
“Hard delivery windows are non-negotiable. Our operations are built around hitting them.”
From assessment to production in weeks, not quarters.
Assess
We review your build, documentation, volumes, and compliance requirements. You get a unit-rate price — fixed cost per assembled, tested unit.
First article
Work instructions, line setup, and first article inspection against your quality criteria. Typical time to first production units: 2–4 weeks.
Scale
Production ramps with your program — hundreds to tens of thousands of units — with unit-level traceability documented on every unit delivered.
