Meeting the mission of secure, reliable manufacturing solutions for defense technologies

Making reliable yet cutting-edge defense technology requires a commitment to quality, security, and precision. When radar systems are tracking threats, avionics are guiding military aircraft, and missile systems are ensuring national defense, every component plays a critical role in the product’s effectiveness. These systems must be built in a secure, ITAR-certified environment with strict compliance and on-time delivery.

As a trusted partner to the world’s largest defense companies, Jabil specializes in high-reliability PCBA, electro-mechanical subassemblies, and full system integration. Our secure operations, advanced cybersecurity, and proactive risk management ensure supply chain integrity — so mission-critical technology is ready when and where it’s needed.

Supporting every branch of defense, our solutions power technologies across land, sea, air, and cyber domains. From advanced missile guidance systems to secure communications and next-gen avionics, Jabil enables the solutions defense companies depend on.
