Mission

Island Defense was formed in response to the call for increased domestic fabrication and restoration capacity within the U.S. Defense Industry. 

We provide a full range of metal and composite design, fabrication, and restoration capabilities.

From heavy metal casting and forging to high-precision alloy milling and alternative materials production, Island Defense seeks to play a significant role in strengthening our nation’s industrial base. 


Approach

We work collaboratively with our clients to understand and identify areas where our fabrication and refurbishment capabilities can best support a program.  Our team can accept a Technical Data Package (TDP) and provide Build-to-Print (BTP) or Build-to-Specifications (BTS) products.  We excel in early engagement with design & engineering teams, as a resource / solutions provider – to ensure optimal production outcomes.
