Built for the programs where documentation is the product.
Defense programs don't take quality claims on faith — they audit them. ProForge's compliance posture is designed to be inspected.
NDAA-compliant assembly
Assembly performed entirely in US facilities — Charlotte and Dallas–Fort Worth — with documented supply chain controls. Built to support DoW programs, federal contracts, and Blue UAS requirements.
ITAR-compliant
Operations are ITAR-compliant: controlled technical data and defense articles are handled under documented access controls by US persons in US facilities.
CMMC Level 1
Cybersecurity practices meet CMMC Level 1 requirements for safeguarding federal contract information across our systems and production environment.
Chain of custody
Components are tracked from receiving dock through assembly to delivered unit. Sourcing documentation is maintained and available for program compliance review.
Audit-ready process
SOPs are documented, reviewable, and built for audit readiness. First article inspection against your quality criteria precedes every production ramp.
Documentation as a deliverable
Unit-level records ship with the program — not as a custom request, but as the standard output of every production run.
Five fields. Every unit. No exceptions.
Unit-level traceability is the baseline deliverable on every ProForge program. When your program office asks for the paper trail on a specific aircraft, it exists — complete, current, and reviewable.

Compliance questions, answered directly.
Is ProForge's drone assembly NDAA-compliant?
Yes. Assembly is performed entirely in US facilities — Charlotte and Dallas–Fort Worth — with documented supply chain controls, audit-ready QC processes, and chain-of-custody documentation that meet DoW and federal program requirements. Component sourcing documentation is available for program compliance review.
Can ProForge support DoW or defense contractor programs?
Yes. Our CEO is a U.S. Army Special Operations Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) — military-grade process discipline is built into how we operate, not bolted on. We understand hard delivery windows, documentation requirements, and what program compliance means at the production level.
Is ProForge ITAR-compliant?
Yes. ProForge operations are ITAR-compliant — controlled technical data and defense articles are handled by US persons in US facilities under documented access controls.
Does ProForge meet CMMC requirements?
ProForge meets CMMC Level 1, covering the safeguarding of federal contract information. Programs with higher CMMC requirements should raise them in the initial assessment so we can scope accordingly.
How is quality documented for defense programs?
Every unit carries traceability at the unit level: serial number, component lot tracking, firmware version, QA sign-off, and test results. This documentation is a standard deliverable on every program.
How are firmware loading and testing handled?
Assembly lines include integrated stations for firmware loading and software verification. We execute your testing protocols and document results for every unit, so each aircraft ships fully configured and QA'd.
What does onboarding look like?
Typical programs move from initial assessment to first production units in 2–4 weeks. Onboarding covers work instructions, first article inspection, and quality criteria — timeline depends on product complexity and documentation readiness.
