GS Engineering welcomes Colonel Fred Dente, U.S. Army Retired, as Vice President for Strategy and Growth. Fred brings 30 years of operational leadership, modernization experience, and hands on integration work across the Joint Force. 

When a system specifies a custom component that requires specialized tooling and single-source suppliers, the design might perform perfectly in testing, but if that component has lead times measured in months or years, the program faces a difficult choice during production: accept

When a ground combat vehicle program needs to integrate a new sensor suite, traditional acquisition approaches can add years to the timeline.

GS Engineering is proud to announce that it has been selected as an awardee for the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. 

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is typically reserved for large defense programs where contract requirements mandate a full suite of models, diagrams, and traceability artifacts.

A technology is only valuable if it creates formation-level capability for the warfighter through proper integration, from inception to fielding.

When a vehicle stops moving in hostile territory, it becomes an easy target. Missions stall. Lives are at risk.

On today’s battlefield, mobility is inseparable from survivability.

Modern defense work doesn’t wait. Programs that used to unfold over years now need to produce results within months. Threats emerge and evolve rapidly, and the battlefield won’t pause for slow development cycles.

When Critical Systems Outlast Their Supply Chains

Across industries, from aviation and naval operations to specialized ground systems, many platforms remain in service far longer than originally intended.

Each year, the Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium (GVSETS), hosted by the NDIA Michigan chapter, brings to

In tactical ground platforms and defense vehicle systems, the delicate balance between survivability, mobility, and payload capacity has defined vehicle development for decades. As modern conflicts continue to evolve, the urgency to resolve this tension grows.

For GS Engineering, “engineering with purpose” is more than a slogan. It reflects a disciplined process built on technical rigor, systems-level insight, and a clear understanding of mission needs.

GS Engineering is proud to announce that it has once again been awarded a grant through the Michigan Going PRO Talent Fund, marking the 5th consecutive year of successful partnerships with the program.
