First delivery: RF connectors for F-16s
■ Engineering Services / Aerospace Manufacturing
Five companies under shared management, building the simulation products, software, field services and flight-critical hardware that make forces ready — for the U.S. Army, the Marine Corps, NASA and allied partners worldwide.
We don't just build the training system. We build the environment it runs in.
Phoenix Defense, LLC is a group of companies working together under shared management and ownership to solve complex problems cost-effectively. Two divisions — Engineering Services and Aerospace Manufacturing — define our capability today.
Our roots reach back to 1991 and a first delivery of radio-frequency connectors for F-16s. Since then we've grown through innovation, quality and strategic acquisition into a provider of engineering, manufacturing, medical simulation, software, live training, IT, logistics provisioning and live, virtual and constructive combat simulation.
Our mission: to enhance the success of our customers, employees and suppliers by delivering unrivalled value, service and quality to global aerospace and defense markets.
■ Capabilities
Deep subject-matter expertise, an agile software culture, and the ability to manufacture what we design — under one roof.
Scalable, affordable training and simulation products and field services; advanced Agile and DevSecOps software design and development; information technology; logistics provisioning; targetry and other mission components — delivered to government customers at their point of need.
Our deep bench of subject-matter experts thrives on applying innovative technology to hard problems, and on lifecycle management for legacy, modernization and evolutionary programs alike.
Live, virtual and constructive solutions for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, delivering collective, individual and crew training at bases and training centres in the U.S. and overseas — often with our SMEs supporting on site.
As prime and as critical subcontractor, our teams deliver technical and operational expertise for live training and simulation across CONUS, Germany, Korea, Japan, Kuwait and the UAE.
Software and hardware services for multiple DoD programs, from architecture through site management.
Specification and procurement through storage and delivery, including vendor management, inventory options and real-time component tracking.
Design, installation, setup and instruction across the full range of medical simulation systems.
Ranges deployed for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps — and now the targets to go on them, produced by our own Aerospace Manufacturing division.
■ Certified quality — Engineering Services
Over three decades serving the aerospace industry, known for lean manufacturing that delivers standard-setting products with efficient pricing and lead times. The advantage is pairing component manufacturing expertise with engineering and project experience — we don't only make products, we design them.
Rapid prototyping through Low Rate Initial Production and on to Full Rate Production, in temperature- and humidity-controlled facilities.
An array of components for military and commercial industries.
A wide variety of data bus components built to the exacting MIL-STD-1553 standard for military and civil aircraft, space systems, ground combat systems and other equipment.
A proven one-stop shop for customers including Honeywell, Boeing Defense Systems, Raytheon and Gulfstream.
Leveraging Engineering Services' work with the military, we now produce targets for the U.S. Army.

■ Products
Phoenix IP, written this decade. Each product carries an honest status — running means we will show it to you today.
Status is marked because we would rather lose a sale than be caught overstating one. Running means you can see it work today, on the stand or on a screen share. In build means engineered and funded, not yet something we will demonstrate. Prototype means it has been flown in front of a customer but is not yet a product.
■ System legend
Separable components, each with one job. Read it the way you would read any other legend on a map sheet — symbol, then what it means.
Components are individually addressable. A programme that needs only adjudication and federation is a supported configuration.
■ Programs
Prime and subcontract work across the simulation and training spectrum, much of it in support of the Army's PEO STRI.
■ Pulling together
Distinct entities, common ownership, one set of values — structured so past performance and qualifications compound rather than fragment.
■ Growing with expertise
Facilities and workforce grown through a commitment to innovation and quality — and acquisitions that dovetail with mission and values.
■ Our leadership
Decades of experience in defense, aerospace, IT and engineering. Select any name to read more.
■ On the floor and in the field
■ Our workplaces
East Valley to Central Florida to worldwide deployment — our professional services teams sit at the customer's point of need, CONUS and OCONUS.
Corporate offices and manufacturing facilities for wire harnesses, precision machined parts, mechanical and electromechanical assemblies and other aerospace components.
Three offices in the UCF Research Park area running software and military simulation development, training, IT provisioning and logistics management. Home of the Riptide software programs.
Phoenix Defense Germany, GmbH supports the U.S. Army training mission alongside teams collocated with customers across the globe.
■ Do the right thing
Putting values into words is simple. Living up to them is the challenge. When we get deep in the trenches, these keep the focus on the mission.
Conducting ourselves honestly, ethically and morally in every action and interaction, and building trust in all our relationships. Everyone we deal with deserves dignity and respect.
As a company and as individuals we have a responsibility to lead — in our industry, in our workplace and in our community.
We own our actions and accept full responsibility for them, and for our performance in every decision we make.
Best practice and the highest quality in everything we do. Right the first time, with processes that keep it right every time after.
Genuine concern for customers, and a commitment to always respond with a sense of urgency.
Every action we take must create value — for customers, associates, suppliers or shareholders.
Our mission. Your career.
We're an agile company built on small teams and collaboration. The structure is streamlined and leadership is accessible. Whatever the role, we set out to educate, grow and engage each team member — working with current technology and state-of-the-art automated tools to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions.
And every day, we recognise that our mission supports the national defense and other critical industries. We aren't making blue jeans. The work is mission-critical.
