Naval Ship System

Vital Systems differ from most other contract assembly businesses in the PCB assembly spaces. We specialize in manufacturing electronics, and most of all, we design and engineer new products, sometimes literally from napkin drawings to marketable products.

We helped engineer this complex Ship Self-Defense Systems for the navy, building and delivering these for 20 years. Then on following order we delivered systems to Lockheed Martin. This system was designed to withstand 85g shock and rated for EMI, RFI etc.

Designed for 120g Shock

Navy contracted Vital Systems to design a shipboard system to withstand 120g shock with EMI, RFI screening capacity. This system was designed and delivered on schedule with for navy’s Operational Evaluation meeting the shock tests. Vital Systems offered modularity to the design to configure the units to different platforms if needed. Navy added the modularity changes.

Rail Safety

Vital Systems designed a set of personnel safety devices for a global company in the railroad environment. Designed to meet specifications, Vital Systems made the design more functional and more capable than originally specified. The customer loved the changes. As a result, the units were able to operate in different countries and perform different functions without hardware changes. That is creative design implementation.

Rail Safety Transponder

Vital Systems designed, engineered, and manufactured this portable device for the rail industry. Now in use in the USA and Europe.

Production Machines

This Bed of Nails Full Function Tester was designed by our engineers and then fabricated to provide efficient consistent way to test this large, high voltage and high current PCBA.

We have implemented several simple and complex machines that automate the manufacturing processes, making manufacturing more efficient and products more consistent, thereby delivering the highest quality of our workmanship to our customers.
