Capabilities Summary
RC Elite Systems, LLC (RCES) designs and manufactures advanced electronics for DoD weapon and mission-critical systems. RCES supports the full product life cycle from requirements inception through design analysis, implementation, integration, verification and validation, qualification, production, and support, delivering high-reliability solutions for harsh operational environments.
RCES brings extensive experience in the design and realization of advanced weapon systems, with strong depth in torpedo guidance and control systems, sonar and data acquisition systems, factory test equipment, and launcher interface electronics. Core capabilities include systems engineering, ruggedized electronics design for harsh mechanical and environmental requirements, mixed-signal electronics (analog + digital), high-speed digital and FPGA/HDL development (VHDL/Verilog), embedded processing (SoC, bare-metal and Linux), interface modernization, and backwards compatibility with legacy weapon and test system interfaces and protocols. RCES also provides test equipment design and develops technical documentation for DoD programs.
RCES maintains JCP and DDTC registrations and employs DCAA-compliant job-cost accounting practices, enabling support for export-controlled and sensitive defense work. RCES operates in a NIST SP 800-171–aligned environment for CUI and maintains a CMMC Level 2 Final Self-Assessment in SPRS. RCES has successfully performed a U.S. Navy SBIR Phase I under Topic N241-024, High-Speed Communications for the MK 41 Vertical Launch System, demonstrating the ability to execute federal research and development with rigorous technical deliverables and schedule discipline. RCES is an SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB).
