Aerospace Facilities Engineering

Introduction

Sec 1

From concept to operational readiness, JRC delivers mission-critical facilities that safeguard national security, enable cutting-edge testing, and advance space research initiatives.

JRC provides Aerospace Facilities Engineering services to our nation’s most critical defense programs, integrating world-class testing of critical guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) technologies. These unprecedented testing capabilities of extreme acceleration conditions and modernized missile systems, directly support both our strategic deterrent mission and the government’s national security and space initiatives. JRC’s Aerospace Facilities Engineering team specializes in integrating advanced technology systems beyond typical infrastructure construction.

Engineering Confidence Into Every Mission

003

When the U.S. Navy required a next-generation Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) test facility to qualify modernized flight and shipboard systems, including those supporting the COLUMBIA-class submarine, JRC engineered and operated a mission-critical environment where systems are validated under real-world conditions—ensuring confidence before deployment.
