Torch Brings Products to Life
Torch provides end-to-end product design and development services. Within our Technology Integration and Prototyping Center (TIPC), our engineering teams are equipped with the tools and resources needed to create and produce innovative designs and prototypes.
- We assign multi-disciplinary engineering teams to develop solutions and equip them with design tools, configuration management systems, and in-house fabrication resources needed to ensure success.
- We rapidly produce, integrate, and test complex product prototypes across a multitude of manned and unmanned aviation, ground, and missile systems and subsystems.
- TIPC is equipped to assist our customers through low-rate initial production needs.
Research & Development Facilities
The TIPC consists of both primary and re-configurable laboratories. Our reconfigurable laboratories provide space to segment work, protect customer privacy, and facilitate special security needs. All laboratories meet minimum design specifications that allow us to segment and secure various customer projects, while maximizing shared resources. When combined with our software engineering and technical writing groups, the primary electronics, optics, and mechanical laboratories provide Torch with an in-house capability to design, prototype, integrate, and fabricate entire systems. All of our labs and design teams use state-of-the-art design tools and secure configuration management systems with off-premise disaster recovery capabilities.
