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.
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.

02
Prepare the design
Work through electronics, materials and manufacturing methods.
03
Check the prototype
Verify assembly and key functions.
04
Run a pilot batch
Establish the process and acceptance checks.
05
Manufacture the batch
Record the version and inspect production quality.
06
Label and dispatch
Kit the products and prepare for repeat orders.
