Digital Logistics
Accelerating decision-making, automating sustainment, and providing real-time LOG COP across echelons, we fuse real data with next-gen computing to stay ahead of the culminating point.
Technical Services
In an increasingly dynamic defense environment, system failure is not an option. Detroit Defense provides full-spectrum engineering support — from DevOps to systems engineering and program management to global product line management. We meet programs where they are, delivering results under pressure and performance that endures. Whether fielding new technology or sustaining foreign fleets, our teams bring clarity, speed, and certainty when and where it matters most.
Engineered for the Extremes
From battle-tested platforms like the Stryker to new builds like the XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle, our engineers design systems that perform in heat, cold, mud, or combat. We’ve supported ground vehicle programs through all phases of acquisition, from prototyping and safety testing to fielding support in austere conditions. Whether it’s integrating ruggedized electronics or solving EMI issues under tight timelines, we deliver when performance is non-negotiable.
Developing Software to Maintain Readiness
Our work on the Navy’s Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) spans the full spectrum — from program leadership to DevOps engineering. We manage and maintain the critical software that ensures secure, real-time logistics message traffic flows from tactical platforms to enterprise systems. The JTDI backbone supports supply chain continuity across Navy and Army platform systems — making our role vital to readiness. Our engineers build, refine, and secure this digital bridge every day, ensuring it stays operational, scalable, and trusted across the joint force.
Program Management that Evolves with the Platform
On complex vehicle development programs like the Abrams SEPv3, our program management teams coordinate across a diverse mix of government personnel, prime contractors, and subsystem vendors. As the program pivots from production sustainment to advanced development, we’re now helping lead efforts to integrate next-gen propulsion and cutting-edge situational awareness capabilities. That shift requires our teams to move in sync with evolving technology while maintaining schedule, budget, and cross-stakeholder alignment — no matter how fast the ground shifts beneath them.
Platform Systems
Detroit Defense brings the capabilities of next to the platforms of now. We modernize legacy systems with breakthrough technologies that extend operational life, enhance lethality, and improve survivability — without the cost or delay of full replacement. As an OEM-agnostic integrator, we ensure seamless fit and mission-aligned performance across fleet types, enabling faster fielding and greater force flexibility.
Accelerating Transformation
We’ve fielded safety and performance upgrades to tens of thousands of vehicles — adding rollover protection, enhanced braking, and new digital interfaces that dramatically improve safety while enabling digital upgrades like 360-degree situational awareness. We provide smart upgrades that deliver modern capability and performance in months, not years, at a fraction of the cost.
OEM-Agnostic by Design
For the U.S. Army’s most forward-leaning organizations, we’ve delivered integrations involving components and sub-systems from multiple suppliers, avoiding the delays and cost penalties of proprietary lock-in. Our platform-agnostic approach has enabled interoperability with Army, USMC, and FMS customer configurations across various mission sets.
Failure Is Not an Option
When the Army needed rapid support to create safety-critical upgrades to the M88 Recovery Vehicle, we delivered a complete solution with industry-leading partners. Our integrated wireless communication system ensures that the entire crew can remain connected both inside and out of the vehicle, keeping soldiers safe, and empowering them to complete the mission.
Integrated Logistics & Sustainment
We don’t just support the mission — we sustain it. Detroit Defense synchronizes logistics, maintenance, and supply chains across domains and echelons. From depot planning to forward execution, we keep systems mission-ready by pairing technical depth with digital precision. The result? Less downtime, greater predictability, and sustainment at the speed of relevance.
Sustainment That Scales
We provide end-to-end logistics lifecycle sustainment to keep warfighter equipment mission-ready. For the HMMWV, we’ve supported ILS for the ABS/ESC retrofit kit—from MWO development and provisioning to validation, verification, and technical documentation. We also serve as the sole source for ABS/ESC sustainment support.
Downtime, Eliminated. Anywhere on Earth.
From Ft. Bragg, NC to Joint Base Lewis–McChord, WA and overseas in virtually every hotspot, our sustainment teams are embedded with the warfighter ensuring that the team is ready when duty calls. These professionals are dedicated — day in and day out — ensuring that commanders always have the systems they need, ready to roll.
Total Alignment
On programs like the ISV and AMPV, we’ve integrated logistics planning with system engineering and training, creating full-spectrum solutions that keep parts, tools, and technicians aligned. The result is synchronized sustainment that ensures every mission can move forward — no bottlenecks, no breakdowns.
Digital Logistics
In the modern battlespace, information is as decisive as firepower. Detroit Defense delivers digital logistics tools that transform raw data into actionable intelligence — automating fault detection, predicting sustainment needs, and optimizing readiness across domains. Compatible with legacy and next-gen systems alike, our platforms give commanders real-time visibility, total fleet awareness, and the power to act fast and finish strong.
Decision-Grade Data
In TiC efforts with TACOM and PEO CS&CSS, we’ve demonstrated logistics data transfer and dashboards that reduce information latency and give commanders at all echelons visibility into fleet readiness in near real-time. It’s not just information — it’s intelligence, with the power to move missions forward faster.
Legacy-Compatible, Future-Proof
We’ve successfully integrated our digital logistics into platforms new and old, preparing them all for future AI applications like predictive resupply. With an Authority to Operate already in-hand, our tools are market ready, field tested, and evolving with tomorrow’s technology — ensuring that the warfighters’ advance will be slowed by no one.
Automation That Delivers
For a DoD logistics initiative, we implemented automated part tracking that reduced manual data entry by over 60% and enabled remote fault monitoring across geographies. Our systems deliver automated sustainment insights that keep operations moving — even when human bandwidth is stretched thin.
