Reliability Discipline
We are building our quality systems to AS9100 alignment. Every program includes full build traceability, material certification, and documentation delivered with every shipment — not as an afterthought.
Mission Critical Systems
We Build What Failure Isn't an Option For
High-stakes defense equipment has to work straight out of the box and continue performing throughout its service life. That's not a goal — it's the requirement we take seriously on every program. At Fixyte, we build precision instrumentation, electro-optical systems, and mission-critical sub-systems for defense OEMs and tier-2/tier-3 suppliers who need a technically credible domestic manufacturing partner.
Our background in precision capital equipment means we approach defense programs with the rigor they demand: milestone-gated SOWs, full build traceability, first article validation before production release, and complete documentation delivered with every shipment.
The Manufacturing Challenge
Defense OEMs and tier-2/tier-3 suppliers face a persistent sourcing problem: the programs that matter most are often too small for large defense contractors to prioritize, and too technically demanding for generalist CMs to execute without risk. A 20-unit EO/IR sensor program or a 50-unit UAV payload build requires domain knowledge that most contract manufacturers simply don't have.
Fixyte was built for exactly this gap. We bring the technical depth to understand what you're building, the process discipline defense programs require, and the right-sized capacity to give your program the attention it deserves — from first article through final delivery.
What We Build
| Program Type | Details |
|---|---|
| EO/IR Systems | Electro-optical and infrared sensor assemblies, detector integration, and precision optical housing builds |
| Targeting & Sighting Instruments | Precision opto-mechanical assemblies for targeting, fire control, and sighting systems |
| UAV & UGV Payloads | Sensor payloads, gimbal subassemblies, and mission system integration for unmanned platforms |
| Airborne & Ground Instrumentation | Ruggedized optical and electro-mechanical instruments for airborne and ground-based defense applications |
From supply chain through final acceptance testing, we build mission-critical products as if everything depends on them. Because it does.
Why Defense & Aerospace OEMs Choose Fixyte
Mission-Critical Experience
Our founders have designed and shipped systems for applications where failure consequences are real. We understand what reliability-critical manufacturing looks like in practice, not just in specifications.
Precision Optics Expertise
Defense and aerospace systems routinely require precision optical integration with mechanical platforms. We have the capability to handle sub-micron alignment, environmental stability, and performance validation.
Right Volume Range
Defense instrumentation and sensor programs typically run 10–150 units per year — the range where large primes are disinterested and generalist CMs lack the technical depth. Fixyte is built specifically for this gap.
