MARINE
Marine MAnufacturing
With oversized CNC vertical mill capabilities and certified welding cells, Hawk provides in-house custom and production precision manufacturing. Supplying directly for defense maritime surface vessel programs, as well as supporting verticalized prototype manufacturing for innovative new concept watercraft, Hawk is equipped to serve the marine industry.
Established sourcing for marine-grade materials, our team strives to bring the best value while minimizing lead times.
Our experienced team of engineers and technicians innovate manufacturing processes on the fly, while also providing valuable design-for-manufacturing (DFM) support for cost and lead time savings in prototype as well as production runs.
Detailed Design for maritime
Hawk Technologies brings proven shipbuilding experience from U.S. Navy and Coast Guard programs—including FF(X), FFG(X), MMSC, LCS, and Cutter classes—demonstrating our expertise specifically in marine engineering and ship design solutions across HM&E (structural, piping, HVAC), outfitting, and joiner systems. We provide precise modeling, drafting, and quality checking from concept through detailed design and continuous change support (MCRs, ECNs).
With advanced skills in ShipConstructor, NavisWorks, AutoCAD, BlueBeam, Creo, Inventor, and Solidworks, our team develops and integrates automation routines into workflows to ensure efficiency, compliance with DoD and shipyard standards and procedures, and on-time delivery in mission-critical environments. Our adoption of AI has armed our team with a wide array of AI ‘skills’ to help us automate at the speed of thought. Hawk has greatly reduced the time to automate detailed design and drafting, paving way for the next era of human/machine interaction in drafting and design.
From requirements through production, we provide engineering support including CDRL support, test procedures, CAE analysis (structural FEA including static, vibration, shock, transient response, thermal, fluid), drafting, detailed design, prototype manufacturing, prototype-to-production support, and qualification support (shock per MIL-S-901E, vibration per MIL-STD-167). Our proven process improvements and expert systems ensure optimal results in high-profile programs such as the U.S. Navy surface combatants and Coast Guard Cutters.
vertical engineering for shipbuilding
engineering support + Continuous Improvement
Hawk Technologies transforms engineering support into a true engineering partnership. Our specialists embed directly into our customer’s team, delivering immediate results while capturing micro-processes (carefully documenting each step in development), communicating risks/opportunities, and optimizing workflows in real time. This approach not only fills talent gaps but also strengthens junior engineers, preserves critical knowledge, and builds scalable management systems. These are critical steps required to enable engineering and CAD modernization.
Smarter Decisions. Standardized Solutions.
Hawk Technologies is revolutionizing the approach to standardize products by mastering qualifications and compliance while reducing risk in shipbuilding design. By leveraging advanced risk management and legacy approval data, our bespoke systems deliver informed insights that cut costs, save time, and break down supply chain silos. The result: greater efficiency in marine engineering, naval architecture, and shipbuilding standardization.
