About Us

Acceleration Engineering (dv/dt) was originally established in 2003 starting life as a performance engine machine shop and through progression of our careers has formed into a team of experienced United States Defense Subject Matter Experts in the fields of contracts, engineering, compliance and quality.

Together we have supported bid, proposal, execution, design, manufacture, test and delivery of complex critical systems such as life support systems onboard the US submarine fleet to parachute manufacturing and qualification for the U.S. Special Forces and drivers for such programs as the US MK18 unmanned underwater vehicle program.

Collectively, we have contributed to the development of some of the most technologically advanced defense systems our nation has to offer, shaping our professional life experience within the defense industry. With a deep sense of gratitude, we aim to give back by coaching others, sharing our lessons learned, and applying our proactive approach to complex and critical design efforts.
