ITAR-Registered Defense Electronics Manufacturing, 100% Made in the USA
DEM Manufacturing is a 100% U.S.-based domestic defense electronics manufacturer building rugged, mission-ready hardware for defense and tactical programs. As an ITAR-registered manufacturer (code M47849) with a CMMC posture and CAGE code 52CQ1, DEM keeps controlled articles and technical data on U.S. soil throughout production, inside a compliant, traceable chain of custody.
Our heritage in military electronics manufacturing reaches back to the early 1990s, when DEM began building communications accessories for military and law enforcement. Today, as a trusted defense electronics manufacturer, we combine design, engineering, and production under one roof, giving primes and program managers one accountable partner instead of a fragmented, offshore-exposed supply chain.

Ruggedized Military Electronics That Survive the Field
As a MIL-SPEC electronics manufacturer, DEM builds repeatable conformance into the process rather than onto it at inspection. Our defense electronics assembly is engineered to endure vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, submersion, and rough handling, often years after the production line has moved on. That understanding shapes design decisions, component selection, and test protocols in ways a purely commercial shop will not anticipate.
Mission-Critical Communications Hardware
DEM specializes in military communications hardware built for the environments where failure is not an option. Our push-to-talk devices, custom cabling, and connectors support mission-critical communications and battlefield communications across a wide range of OEM radio platforms.
Ruggedized by Design
Overmolded protection, heavy-duty switches, RFI and EMI resistance, and submersible operation up to 20 meters, validated against MIL-STD-810 benchmarks in-house.
Radio and System Compatibility
Communication communications hardware and cabling compatible with OEM radios and MOLLE-compatible field setups used across the services.
Secure, Traceable Production
Lot-level traceability, authorized-channel sourcing, and ESD-protected handling protect military electronics against counterfeit parts and keep quality defensible.

FAQs
1. Does your defense electronics engineering support MIL-STD durability requirements from the design stage?
Yes. Our defense electronics engineering builds MIL-STD-810 durability into design decisions, component selection, and test protocols from the start, so ruggedness is engineered in rather than added at final inspection.
2. What credentials should we verify before awarding defense contract manufacturing work?
For defense contract manufacturing, verify active ITAR registration, a CAGE code, MIL-STD testing capability, and lot-level traceability. DEM holds ITAR registration M47849 and CAGE code 52CQ1, backed by a documented quality system.
3. How do you confirm rugged defense electronics will survive real field conditions?
We confirm rugged defense electronics through in-house environmental and durability testing, including IP ingress and submersion testing, verifying that products survive vibration, shock, moisture, and temperature extremes before they ship to your program.
4. As an ITAR electronics manufacturer, how do you protect our controlled technical data?
As an ITAR electronics manufacturer, we segregate and access-control controlled technical data, secure our data systems against unauthorized foreign access, and keep all controlled work domestic under registration code M47849.
5. What tactical communications hardware do you build for field operations?
We build tactical communications hardware including rugged push-to-talk devices, custom cabling, and connectors, compatible with a wide range of OEM radio platforms used by military and first-responder teams across the services.
6. As a MIL-STD electronics manufacturer, do you test in-house or use outside labs?
As a MIL-STD electronics manufacturer, we conduct environmental and durability testing in-house, including IP ingress and submersion testing, so ruggedized hardware is validated against MIL-STD-810 benchmarks before it leaves our facility.
7. Is DEM ITAR registered for defense electronics work?
Yes. DEM is ITAR registered under code M47849 and CAGE code 52CQ1. We are also CMMC-certified, keeping controlled defense articles and technical data domestic throughout production inside a compliant chain of custody.
8. What defense electronics does DEM manufacture?
DEM builds ruggedized communications accessories, push-to-talk devices, custom cabling and connectors, PCB assemblies, and complete electro-mechanical builds for defense and tactical programs, all through a 100% U.S.-based supply chain since 1993.
