Engineering services and program management for aerospace suppliers
RW Aerospace puts seasoned program managers, subcontract specialists and engineers inside small and mid-size aerospace firms, so you can win government work, run it on schedule and close it out clean.
Most small aerospace firms are excellent at the engineering and under-resourced everywhere else a prime will look: schedule, cost, flow-downs, deliverables and compliance. We staff those functions so your engineers can stay on the engineering.
A named program manager who owns the integrated master schedule, the cost picture, the risk register and the customer cadence. Someone who has sat on the prime's side of the table and knows what the review will ask before it asks.
You get
Flow-downs, negotiations, consent packages and supplier performance handled the way a prime's own subcontract managers do it, so your sub-tier never becomes the prime's problem.
You get
RFP shred, compliance matrix, win themes, volumes, basis of estimate and color team reviews. Proposals that answer Sections L and M in order, with pricing an auditor would accept.
You get
Systems, mechanical, propulsion test, GSE and mission assurance engineers from a vetted network of people we have worked beside on flight programs. RW Aerospace holds the contract and the accountability.
You get
DCAA-compliant timekeeping, accounting system readiness, CMMC 2.0 gap assessment, export control basics and a path to AS9100. Ranked by what a prime will check first.
You get
Ten questions a Tier-1 supply chain team asks before it issues a subcontract. Answer them as you are today, not as you plan to be. Nothing you enter leaves this page unless you choose to send it.
Every engagement follows the same sequence, because primes evaluate suppliers in the same sequence. The assessment tells you what they will find; the embedded support fixes it before they look.
What you are bidding, what you have won, and where the schedule or the audit is hurting. No slide deck.
Program, subcontract, compliance and engineering gaps, ranked by what a prime checks first. Delivered as a written roadmap you own either way.
A named program manager in your meetings, your reviews and your customer calls. Subcontract, compliance and engineering support brought in as the roadmap calls for them.
Processes documented, your people trained, contracts closed with the final invoice accepted. We work toward not being needed.
The customers differ. The expectation is the same: a supplier who can hold schedule, pass audit and answer the phone.
Flight hardware, ground support and test programs under the NASA FAR Supplement and NPR 7120.5 life-cycle reviews.
Department of Defense and Space Force programs where DFARS 7012, CMMC and ITAR shape every decision.
Fast-moving primes that expect supplier schedules to move as fast as their own.
Build-to-print and design-to-spec subcontracts with full flow-down matrices and supplier reviews.

NASA's Anil Menon and CSA's Joshua Kutryk spent 7 hours 11 minutes installing the seventh of eight iROSA arrays on the ISS's 2A power channel. It was the 100th US spacewalk from the station and Kutryk's first.
SpaceX reported $14.6 billion in Q3 revenue, up 161%, and $4.4 billion in net income, its first profit as a public company. Its Super Intelligence segment's revenue passed Starlink's.
JAXA's MMX lifted off on an H3 rocket from Tanegashima on October 19 and separated on a Mars-bound trajectory. It aims to be the first spacecraft to land on Phobos and return samples to Earth in 2031.
