Robust, dependable design
Complex hardware, built at pace. From avionics interfaces to secure surveillance systems, we work to defence-grade standards, move quickly, and stay involved until the product is in the field.
A product development partner built for this sector
Defence and security programmes demand technical rigour, speed to innovate, and a partner who understands the environment, not just the engineering brief. We work with primes, tier one suppliers, and defence and security technology businesses who need hardware developed quickly, to the right standards, with a team that stays embedded throughout.
“npd exceeded all expectations — delivering a fast, cost-effective and high-quality solution. Their innovation pushed the design beyond what we had originally envisioned.”
Robbie Watkinson, Typhoon Product Strategy, BAE Systems
Rapid prototyping & speed to innovate
In-house 3D printing, including large-format FDM, 16K resin, and a 25-printer fleet. Physical parts in hours, not weeks, with design files and components staying under our control throughout.
Secure product development
Physical security architecture, secure data hardware, tamper-evident design. Hardware, firmware and enclosure built together as one system, under Secure Innovation principles from day one of any engagement.
Defence FAQ
Yes. We’re also Cyber Essentials Plus certified and an NPSA Secure Innovation Exemplar. ISO 9001 and 27001 are in progress.
Fast. In-house rapid prototyping means physical parts in hours, not weeks. On Typhoon we delivered in 3 months against an 18-month industry benchmark.
We operate under Secure Innovation principles from day one, and hold a dedicated on-site studio within BAE Systems’ Warton facility under their security protocols.
Both, from early-stage R&D through to production-ready demonstrator.
