Defence
Empowering movement – ensuring protection
Engineering expertise for defence applications
The security and defence industry demands the highest levels of technology, processes, reliability, and integrity. As a German engineering partner with over 30 years of experience we transfer proven development approaches from the automotive industry to defence applications. We focus on providing robust, scalable, and industrially feasible solutionsfor applications that require high reliability, system integration, and traceability.
Our strength lies in our long-standing teams who can efficiently scale projects and implement complex development scopes in a structured manner — from the conceptual phase to series production.
Our work is characterized by:
- Robust and traceable development processes
- A comprehensive understanding of systems and products throughout the entire product lifecycle
- Reliable requirements and interface management
- Expertise in dealing with standards, quality specifications, and regulatory frameworks
Design and Simulation
We have our roots in developing technically sophisticated vehicle and system structures. We focus on robust structural design, efficient load paths, and targeted optimization of weight, installation space, payload, and performance.
Engineering Scope:
- Concept development, variant analysis, feasibility studies
- Parametric 3D design and development
- Stiffness and strength analyses, structural and durability assessments, NVH, CFD, and thermal management
- Lightweight construction and payload optimization (multi-material design, simulation-based design, and topology optimization)
- Structured quality and tolerance management using established methods, such as DMU or FMEA
- Consistent creation and maintenance of technical product documentation, as well as manufacturing and assembly documentation
Electrics and Electronics
The E/E architecture of modern military and government systems is a key element. Sensors, communications, power supplies, and software functions are closely interlinked, forming the foundation for reliable, robust, and operationally capable systems.
We develop and integrate E/E systems, focusing on robust design, robust system integration, and reliable operation under demanding conditions, from architecture definition through validation.
Engineering Focus Areas:
- Electrical and electronic system architecture and electrical logic, taking military requirements and standards into account
- Wiring harness development and electrical integration for robust, maintenance-friendly systems
- Embedded hardware and software development for mission-critical functions
- System integration of electrical, electronic, and software components into complete mechatronic systems
- Design of redundant power supplies and safety concepts to ensure operational readiness
- HiL and SiL test benches, integration, and system tests for structured validation
- Comprehensive test and system documentation for traceability and compliance
Systems Engineering
Developing complex systems requires an in-depth understanding of requirements, architecture, and system behavior.
We adhere to established systems engineering standards, such as the V-Model and ISO 15288, to ensure consistent derivation, implementation, and verification of requirements. To this end, We use an integrated toolchain to ensure transparency, consistency, and traceability throughout the development process.
We focus on:
- Requirements and interface management
- System architecture and integration
- Verification and validation
- Traceability throughout the entire product lifecycle
Project Management
We provide comprehensive support for defence projects with our project management—from defining capabilities and bidding to development, integration, acceptance, and operation. We combine engineering expertise with methodical project management within public procurement frameworks
Projects have complex stakeholder structures, high confidentiality, documentation, and compliance requirements, as well as long durations. Our methods address these challenges by combining classical, hybrid, and agile approaches.
We focus on establishing robust project structures, implementing clear decision-making processes, and consistently managing quality, time, and costs.
Focus Areas:
- Project and program management in regulated environments
- Schedule, milestone, and synchronization management
- Stakeholder and committee management
- Risk and configuration management with traceability
- Reporting and documentation
- Supplier and subcontractor management
Digital Engineering
Digital technologies extend and accelerat development processes by creating new, efficient, and rapid opportunities for analysis, validation, and decision-making.
We develop connected digital twins, real-time 3D applications, and customized software solutions that support development, operations, and training.
Additionally, we use automation and AI approaches to streamline and clarify development processes.
Our Focus Areas:
- Digital Twins
- Mixed Reality Environments
- AR-assisted maintenance and inspection
- Real-time design reviews and virtual approvals
- Engineering Automation
