Design to Manufacture: Presco Engineering at AUSA 2025
Every October, the defense community gathers in Washington, D.C. for the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting — a forum where innovation meets mission. This year, as AUSA 2025 brings together leaders in defense, research, and advanced technology, Presco Engineering will be there connecting with partners who are shaping the next generation of mission-critical products.
At Presco, we believe the most effective defense products are built when design and manufacturing are seamlessly connected. That’s the foundation of our Design-to-Manufacture model — the same company that designs your system builds it, ensuring precision, speed, and reliability from prototype through production.
Design to Manufacture — The Presco Model
In traditional product development, design and manufacturing often exist in silos. That gap can slow timelines, create inconsistencies, and introduce risk — characteristics not suitable for high-reliability products. Presco eliminates that barrier.
Our multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams operate under one roof, sharing data, feedback, and insight in real time. The result: faster iteration, fewer handoffs, and systems optimized for performance and manufacturability from day one.
For defense innovators, this integration is what enables mission-ready hardware at mission-critical speed.
Five Capabilities That Power Defense Innovation
1. Integrated Electronics, Optics, Mechanical, and Software Engineering
Complex systems demand seamless collaboration across disciplines. Presco’s cross-functional engineering teams co-design electronics, optics, mechanical assemblies, and embedded software to ensure every subsystem performs together flawlessly.
2. Ruggedized and EMI-Controlled Design
Reliability isn’t optional in defense. Our engineers specialize in ruggedized architectures and low-noise PCB layouts designed for harsh environments — vibration, thermal stress, and electromagnetic interference included.
3. Prototype-to-Production Agility
From rapid prototyping to low-volume production, Presco helps customers move quickly without compromising quality. Our integrated design, testing, and assembly capabilities make it possible to accelerate time-to-field while maintaining full traceability.
4. ITAR-Compliant, U.S.-Based Manufacturing
Security and compliance are central to every program we support. Presco’s manufacturing facilities are U.S.-based and ITAR-compliant, providing control, transparency, and peace of mind for defense and government partners.
As a registered supplier in the federal SAM.gov database, Presco is qualified for government contracting and subcontracting opportunities — streamlining partnerships with primes and defense programs.
5. Design-to-Manufacture Integration
At Presco, the teams who design your product are the same ones who bring it to life. This end-to-end accountability delivers higher performance, shorter lead times, and a clear line of sight from concept to deployment.
Supporting Defense Innovators Across Sectors
Presco partners with organizations at the intersection of innovation and readiness — from startups developing dual-use technologies in quantum and energy systems to Tier-2 suppliers expanding their electronics and sensing capabilities.
We’re also collaborating with programs advancing power management and next-generation defense sensing, where ruggedized electronics and precision control systems are critical to success.
Wherever you are in your development cycle, our goal is simple: to help you move from concept to deployment with confidence.
