Advanced Signature Reduction & Precision Manufacturing

MSM manufacturers signature reduction materials as well as a multitude of mechanical parts. Our products solve system issues such as radar cross-section (RCS), antenna isolation, surface wave-guide attenuation, thermal control, sonar detection and vibration damping. MSM has also delivered complex assemblies acting as dual program manager and integrator.  MSM fabricates a wide range of proprietary products, custom parts and built-to-print items.

Systems Integration & Sub-Assembly Kitting

We provide end-to-end systems integration and sub-assembly kitting services for managing procurement, inspection, fabrication, and delivery. By combining in-house manufacturing with program management expertise, we ensure cost savings, seamless integration, and rapid delivery of your capability.

End-to-end Kitting Solutions with In-House Manufacturing Capabilities

MSM delivers turnkey integration solutions by leveraging our in-house advanced material fabrication, CNC machining, assembly expertise and engineering.  We support our customer’s programs by supplying exactly what is needed, when it’s needed.  This includes custom sub-assemblies with applied signature reduction materials, as well as materials required for end-point installation such as electronic components, fasteners, gaskets, adhesives and more.  Our approach streamlines operations, reduces costs, and gives customers confidence that critical systems are built-in and mission-ready.

Services

Procurement

Procurement

Parts List components are sourced or manufactured in-house depending on schedule and quality requirements. Program Management software and Quality Inspection Plans are established based on specific contract flow downs.  Low overhead rates result in customer cost savings.
Inspection

Inspection

State-of-the-art inspection tools and processes are used to ensure conformance with applicable drawings and specifications.  First Article Inspection Reports are created in-house using optical recognition software to reduce cost and human error.  All data and records are stored electronically for reference.
Package

Package

Parts lists are packaged based on defined military, customer or commercial specifications.  Being a manufacturer ourselves, MSM understands the importance of receiving items undamaged to prevent delays or quality failures. All packaging is designed to reflect positively well on our customers when drop shipped.
Buy Off

Buy Off

Completed kits are routinely presented for on-sight source surveillance or first article inspection.  All data is available for immediate review, and buy-off is conducted by the Program Manager most familiar with the requirements. Signed off kits can then be stored or dropped shipped for immediate install.

Case Studies

Hypersonic Weapon Environmental Barrier

MSM designed, tested, fabricated, qualified and delivered multiple elastomeric environmental barrier systems for a hypersonic weapon program.  Extremely demanding performance requirements were met by utilizing in-house materials and engineering expertise.  Prototypes and testing were expedited to achieve final design within customer’s defined program constraints.  MSM immediately transitioned to production unit fabrication and delivery.  

Missile Sub-Assembly Kitting

MSM has supported a major missile program for over 15 years by supplying multiple sub-assembly installation kits.  The bill of materials (BOM) covers a wide array of commercial, MIL-STD and custom components fabricated in-house using advanced materials.  We have supplied thousands of sub-assembly kits to this vital program.

System Integration & Sub-assembly Kitting for Advanced Radar System

MSM fabricates, assembles, and delivers multiple assemblies and kits to support a next-generation radar system.  We have fully integrated multi-tiered BOMs to provide our customer a low-cost and streamlined solution.  These program deliverables include machined metallic assemblies and advanced materials requiring stringent process controls.
