Engineering and contract manufacturing for miltech teams

We take products from technical requirements to production batches. Our work covers electronics and enclosures, printed components, cable assemblies and finished assembly checks.

We work with companies and sole traders and are VAT-registered. We do not accept private household orders.

Capabilities

How we can support your project

We can join a project at any stage, from defining technical requirements and developing the design to building prototypes, testing and starting repeat production.

01

Technical product development from the ground up

We turn an initial idea or set of requirements into a technically feasible product design. Our work can include product architecture, electronics, enclosure components, cable assemblies, component layout and system integration.

02

Prototyping and validation

We manufacture development prototypes, check assembly and key functions, refine the design and develop the required test equipment. The validation scope and test conditions are agreed for each project.

03

Production engineering and launch

We establish the approved design version and prepare manufacturing documentation, tooling, assembly procedures and acceptance criteria. We produce a pilot batch and prepare the process for repeat orders.

Manufacturing capabilities

01

Serial FDM printing

We manufacture enclosures, mounts, tooling and other functional parts in small and medium batches.

Serial FDM →
02

Vacuum forming

Enclosures, protective covers, panels and technical shells formed from thermoplastic sheet.

03

Silicone and polyurethane elastomers

Moulded seals, gaskets, dampers and other elastomer parts made to agreed geometry and operating requirements.

04

Cable assemblies

We manufacture to drawings, samples or specifications. We label assemblies and check length, continuity and pinout.

05

Finished assembly production

Our contract assembly work covers fitting electronics and cable assemblies into enclosures. We check functions, label and package units.

06

Test equipment

We develop fixtures and electronic test devices, prepare test scenarios and record results.

Experience

Experience relevant to miltech production

The ARKA26 team has worked with Ukrainian miltech companies on UAV components, electronics, cable assemblies, enclosures and test equipment. We understand how design decisions affect manufacturing, assembly and testing.

Our experience also includes serial FDM printing, contract assembly, field trials and UAV test flights.

NDAs limit the customer names and technical details we can share. We discuss relevant examples in a working meeting.

Production

How we organise production

Over 100

pieces of equipment allow us to run several production orders in parallel.

Sample before production

We record the approved model and specification versions.

Batch inspection

We check materials, assembly and agreed parameters.

Labelling and packaging

We prepare products for acceptance and dispatch.

One project contact

A designated person handles questions and changes.

VAT invoices

We supply companies and sole traders.

Examples

Examples of work the team has handled

These are types of tasks the team has worked on, including work before ARKA26 was established. Customer names and sensitive details remain confidential.

01

UAV components and electronics

Contributing to UAV development projects for miltech companies.

Work involved

  • Developed electronics, enclosures, production tooling and test equipment.
  • Prepared designs for manufacturing and built prototypes.
  • Manufactured component batches, assembled units and checked their functions.

The team’s role and scope varied by project.

02

Cable assemblies for electronic systems

Manufacturing assemblies from drawings, samples or specifications.

Work involved

  • Worked with JST SH, JST GH, Molex families, D-Sub, Dupont contacts and housings, and other signal connectors.
  • Cut, stripped, crimped, soldered and labelled assemblies.
  • Checked length, continuity and pinout.

Assembly methods depend on the connector, wire and operating conditions.

03

Field trials and UAV test flights

Testing UAVs under conditions close to their intended use.

Work involved

  • Developed electronic test devices and prepared test scenarios.
  • Conducted field trials and test flights.
  • Automated selected checks and analysed deviations.

By separate agreement, we can help arrange field testing and user feedback. The format depends on the product, permissions, safety and site availability.

Procurement

Commercial terms for companies and sole traders

VAT invoices available. We provide the contract, specification, invoice and delivery documents needed for procurement. Where required, we sign an NDA and agree acceptance criteria before starting.

  • VAT invoices
  • Bank transfer
  • Contract and specification
  • NDA and acceptance criteria

Process

How we start production

  1. 01

    Define requirements

    Clarify the task, documents and expected outcome.

  2. 02

    Prepare the design

    Work through electronics, materials and manufacturing methods.

  3. 03

    Check the prototype

    Verify assembly and key functions.

  4. 04

    Run a pilot batch

    Establish the process and acceptance checks.

  5. 05

    Manufacture the batch

    Record the version and inspect production quality.

  6. 06

    Label and dispatch

    Kit the products and prepare for repeat orders.
