About Jankel Tactical Systems

Jankel is a partner built for mission-critical performance.

Since 2009, Jankel Tactical Systems has supported the U.S. Department of War, government agencies, allied nations, and leading OEMs through engineering, manufacturing, and survivability solutions for mission-critical applications. From complex welded assemblies and integrated systems to occupant protection technologies and specialty vehicle solutions, Jankel helps customers solve difficult engineering and manufacturing challenges while maintaining the quality, responsiveness, and execution demanded by defense programs.

Today, Jankel serves as a trusted manufacturing partner supporting programs from prototype and low-rate initial production through full-rate production.

With 17+ years of proven defense capability, Jankel delivers engineered solutions that meet the tightest mission constraints, on time, on budget, and to specification.

Why Choose Us?

Because Mission Success Demands the Right Partner.

Human-driven

Defense-Grade Discipline

Quality systems, weld certifications, and traceability built for military programs — not adapted to them.

Performance

Engineering-Driven Manufacturing

We engage at the drawing, not just the PO — DFM, producibility, cost reduction, TDP development, reverse engineering.

Consistent Quality

Prototype to Production

We carry difficult programs from first article through LRIP to full-rate — including the quantities high-volume suppliers won’t prioritize.

Agile

Surge & Capacity Support

Committed capacity and rapid spin-up when your program is behind and your primary supplier is saturated.

Our Values

Eight principles shape every decision we make.

People

Everything we do begins with people. We protect those who rely on our products and invest in those who build them.

Respect

We treat colleagues, partners, and customers with the respect that builds lasting relationships.

Ownership

We take accountability for our commitments and see every program through to delivery.

Team

We succeed as one team: engineers, fabricators, and partners working toward a single mission.

End-User

We design around the person who depends on the product in the field, not the spec sheet alone.

Customer

We listen, we devise, we deliver. Every solution is shaped around the customer’s mission.

 

Trust

We earn trust through reliability, doing what we say, every time.

Solutions

We solve hard problems with engineered solutions, from rapid prototype to full-rate production.
