Engineering & Sustainment Services

Integrated Engineering Support for Lifecycle Platform Requirements

Contract Services

Home » Aerospace Contracting Services

PAD provides engineering and sustainment services that span the full lifecycle of defense and aerospace platforms—from concept development through depot-level repair. Our engineering function is structured around PAD’s systems-level execution model, enabling us to manage both organic and legacy platforms, incorporate rapid technology upgrades, and support mission readiness objectives with embedded, cross-functional teams.

Core Competencies

Systems & Subsystems Integration

Mechanical, electrical, and avionics integration for upgrade and new platform applications

Sustainment Engineering

Engineering change orders (ECO), SLEP programs, and obsolescence remediation

Design & Analysis

Structural, thermal, and mechanical modeling using industry-standard tools (ANSYS, CATIA, SolidWorks, CREO)

Flight Test Instrumentation

Design, installation, and calibration of high-speed and high-temperature sensor arrays for propulsion and airframe systems

Reverse Engineering & Replication

Legacy parts digitization, modeling, and requalification for obsolete or undocumented components

Technical Documentation & Logistics

Development of IETMs, TCTOs, and provisioning for field and depot-level use

Program Scope

PAD’s engineering teams are embedded throughout the project lifecycle. Whether supporting depot maintenance for legacy fighters or integrating instrumentation into a next-gen propulsion module, we manage engineering scope within our broader project framework—ensuring that technical solutions are synchronized with cost, schedule, and regulatory constraints.

Notable Deliverables

  • Instrumented propulsion modules for U.S. government and Tier 1 defense primes
  • Avionics modernization and systems integration for U.S. Air Force fighter and ISR platforms
  • Custom test stands and GSE for commercial engine manufacturers and test labs
  • Structural repairs and stress analysis in support of Navy and Army aviation assets
  • Fieldable instrumentation kits for engine ground test and qualification

Certifications and Tools

  • Certified engineers across multiple disciplines including PE, FAA DER, and NAVAIR-qualified staff
  • Integration lab with rapid prototyping, cabling, and environmental testing capability
  • Familiarity with MIL-STD-810, DO-160, ASME Y14.5, and OEM-specific standards
  • Cybersecurity compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 protocols in place

Client Value
PAD delivers engineering not as a siloed service, but as a core element of its operating model. We ensure that engineering and sustainment functions are tightly coupled with manufacturing, inspection, and final delivery—yielding streamlined communication, reduced rework, and full accountability.
