Stanchion builds the subsystems, payloads and ground software that primes need integrated and would rather not staff. Non-kinetic C-ISR, counter-UAS and uncrewed platforms across air, ground and sea — designed to your interface, sourced outside China, delivered as a subcontractor who already carries the compliance.
We are a small R&D shop, and we say so. The scope below is what we can actually deliver against a schedule — not a catalog of everything adjacent to drones.
Modular airframes and ground vehicles built around a published mechanical, power and data interface, so the customer can reconfigure after delivery without coming back to us.
Detection, signature management and deployable shelter concepts. Nothing we build carries a warhead, which keeps our customers clear of ordnance-class export and equity restrictions.
The layer most platform vendors treat as an afterthought. Fleet state, maintenance posture, mission data and the reporting a program office actually has to file — built on a decade of data-engineering work, not bolted on.
If you hold a contract over $900,000 you filed a small business subcontracting plan, you set an SDVOSB target in it, and you report against it in eSRS. We are certified, registered, insured and already through CMMC Level 1. One purchase order books the credit.
The statutory government-wide goal for SDVOSB prime and subcontract dollars. Missing it is a documented finding at contract review. Material and subsystem supply is the cleanest way to close the gap — no on-site labor coordination, no licensing, no schedule entanglement.
We respond inside one business day, carry documentation ready for your eSRS filing, and hold NAICS coverage across four codes so one supplier relationship serves several lines.
Spares, repair, battery management, firmware currency and field support on fielded systems. The work primes most want to hand off and least want to staff.
Operator and maintainer courses, courseware development, and the certification records a program office needs to see.
Test planning, instrumentation, data capture and analysis for flight and ground test events — run to your test plan, reported in a form a program office can file.
Component and subassembly manufacture against your drawings, with TAA-designated sourcing and full component traceability.
Two funded internal prototypes. Both non-kinetic. Concepts are pre-decisional and posted at a level appropriate for public release.
Rapidly emplaced protective structure for vehicles, equipment and personnel against small-UAS observation and attack. Passive and non-kinetic throughout — the design premise is being a hard target, not shooting back.
Airborne gateway bridging P25, LTE and SATCOM for search-and-rescue and disaster response, with a secure data layer that keeps custody of what the aircraft collected. Phase one is the integration bench; the flight article follows.
Our sourcing posture is a deliberate design constraint, set before the first BOM rather than remediated after an assessor opens the box.
Tell us the scope, the schedule and the interface. We will tell you inside one business day whether we can hold it — and if we cannot, we will say so rather than learn on your program.
