Embedded supply
The platform OEM buys the qualified kit from A113 and integrates it on the production line, then sells the complete vehicle.
Best for volume programs at rate
Engagement
Three ways to contract with A113 Defense
Engagement models
Parallel supply
The OEM sells the platform. A113 contracts directly with the end customer for the mission kit under a separate instrument.
Best for retrofit, upgrade, and sustainment
A113 as prime
A113 holds the contract and subcontracts the platform OEM and subsystem suppliers. Small business and veteran-owned set-asides available.
Best for government prototype and development work
Commercial structure in all three: development is funded by the customer; the qualified configuration is licensed per unit; mission software is licensed annually. A113 background IP is never transferred.
How we work
Engineering discipline is the product. These are not aspirations.
Probe before build
Read the real platform data before writing a line of code or a page of the ICD. No assumed schemas, no assumed margins.
Sandbox before production
Every change validated in a representative environment before it touches a fielded or production system.
Configuration control
One documented baseline. Every change goes through a control board with recorded rationale and impact.
Nothing undocumented ships
If it is not in the ICD, it is not in the configuration. Integration that cannot be audited cannot be sustained.
Fixed price, gated
Each phase priced and accepted independently. No open-ended time and materials on integration work.
We do not overstate
No fabricated readiness levels, no market sizing dressed as engineering, no capability claims without a documented basis.
Applications
The architecture is platform-agnostic. The kit follows the mission, not the vehicle.
Protected mobility
Armored personnel carriers, tactical trucks, and infantry mobility vehicles requiring autonomy and mission systems.
Force protection
Installation and perimeter security with counter-UAS detection, persistent surveillance, and signature management.
Contested logistics
Convoy operations, resupply, and expeditionary power in degraded-communications environments.
Command & control
Mobile command posts with edge compute, mast communications, and on-vehicle mission software.
Border & homeland
Persistent patrol, remote sensing, and detection across wide areas with limited manning.
Critical infrastructure
Site security and monitoring for energy, port, and utility operators in the commercial sector.
Next step
Start with a scoping study
Six to eight weeks, fixed price. You receive the concept of operations, the Interface Control Document, the electrical and thermal budget against your actual platform, a safety framework, and a firm price for the build.
If the study does not earn the next phase, you have learned that for the cost of a study.
