Vigilance Engineering
Mission-Driven Innovation.
Operationally Proven Results.
Vigilance Engineering takes a systems approach to tactical mobility and survivability management, optimizing signatures, performance, and mission effectiveness. Our goal is to enhance tactical mobility through development of multifunctional composite structures with low-cost, high-volume production capabilities to increase end-user access to a broad span of overmatching material solutions spanning air, land, and maritime applications.
Our expertise spans small boats, UAVs/USVs, aircraft, ground vehicles, and dismounted systems, delivering mission-driven material development, multifunctional composite integration, and platform optimization to maintain a decisive operational edge.
Our Services
Vigilance offers a a wide range of services across all phases of solutions development. Whatever your product, we can bring your objective to reality.
Requirements Development
Your vehicle design and material solution trade space starts with an understanding of mission objectives, operational realities, and emerging and evolving threats. We have decades of experience translating real-world requirements into objective, measurable, and testable engineering requirements. We work with our partners to examine your requirements and use a systems engineering approach to tailor our customized material solutions.
Integrated Mobility Solutions
Signature management and tactical mobility are inseparable components of platform survivability. Vigilance integrates Formable Electromagnetic Structures (FEMS) directly into military vehicles and systems, imparting a signature management capability while maintaining full operational capabilities of the platform.
Multifunctional Composite Design & Production
We specialize in advanced composite material solutions that merge structural performance with other functional capabilities. FEMS are a broad family of customizable electromagnetic composite structures which include high-strength, lightweight laminates with tailored constituents for electromagnetic property optimization. Combined with Vigilance’s rapid prototyping and in-house production capabilities, we create high-end components for some of the most demanding military applications.
Vehicle & Platform Integration
Vigilance delivers comprehensive solutions from concept development to FEMS vehicle integration and testing, enhancing performance across UAVs, ground vehicles, maritime platforms, and dismounted operators. Our approach combines rigorous prototype testing, field trials, and computational modeling to ensure effectiveness in real-world operations and we routinely support our customers with testing and evaluation planning, execution, and reporting.
Advanced Manufacturing for Lower-Cost Production
We specialize in advanced manufacturing techniques, including RTM, SMCs, and Compression Molding, for scalable FEMS fabrication. Our expertise in precision layups and rapid prototyping streamlines development, while automated production reduces costs and ensures repeatability from prototype to full-scale production.
Your Tactical Advantage
End-User Driven Design
Our solutions are informed by operational realities and developed using a collaborative, integrated team approach.
Optimized Performance
We exploit emergent, cutting-edge composite material technologies to ensure operational success.
Seamless Integration
Our comprehensive approach ensures that material technology capabilities and vehicle performance are optimized together for maximum impact on the battlefield.
Scalable Solutions
We design for low-rate initial production and high-volume manufacturing compatibility to maximize probability of transition from concept to combat-ready systems and ensuring access to operational end-users.
At Vigilance Engineering, we are redefining tactical mobility by fusing multiple advanced material capabilities into a single, optimized solution. Partner with us to equip the warfighter with the next generation of material technology solutions.
“Vigilance Engineering brings a level of operational understanding rarely seen from a technology partner. From day one, they worked closely with Flintlock Marine Group to translate abstract mission needs into tangible, high-performance maritime solutions that excel in real-world environments. Their systems-level thinking, technical depth, and responsiveness have made them a true force multiplier for the Department of Defense and defense industry partners alike.”
