Engineering Capability That Keeps Programmes Moving

KDC Projects delivers technically led engineering work packages across design, analysis, systems and safety, providing the capacity and capability needed to maintain programme momentum.

Our teams apply sector-specific expertise and proven delivery discipline across the full product lifecycle – from early concept development through certification and into in-service support.

We work with aerospace and defence primes and OEMs to execute complex engineering tasks with accuracy, traceability and consistent technical rigour.

Proven in Aerospace and Defence

KDC Projects is the engineering services and consultancy arm of KDC Group, delivering technically led work packages for major aerospace and defence programmes.

Since 2003, we’ve supported primes and OEMs with fixed-price, lifecycle-focused engineering delivery, strengthening capability, accelerating technical output, and maintaining programme momentum as priorities and workloads evolve.

Our clients, including BAE Systems, Airbus, Eaton and Northrop Grumman, trust KDC Projects to deliver technically robust engineering work packages, frequently under fixed-price arrangements.

We assemble bespoke, multi-disciplinary teams that slot directly into customer programmes, adding specialist capability and assured capacity to maintain delivery pace and technical quality.

With deep aerospace and defence experience, we focus every engagement on the outcomes that matter: stronger programme integrity, reliable delivery cadence, and engineering outputs that meet certification, performance and mission requirements.

Testimonials

See what our clients have to say about KDC Projects.

KDC work co-operatively with the BAES team. Adapt with flexibility to the changing landscape, re availability of dependencies, successfully continuing to discharge the work and achieve the deliverables.

Martin Nash, BAE Systems

The KDC team supporting our programme are very capable and adapt to the ever changing needs of the programme technical team. They bring innovative suggestions to the problems encountered on the programme, not only with the design activity, but also with the tools and ways of working.

Mike Ward, Northrup Grumman

KDC Projects responded rapidly to our need and brought a level of knowledge and experience to the project, which ensured our design met the static and fatigue stress requirements of the end customer platform and allowed us to optimise the mass and design of our actuator. They were always at the end of the phone and were happy to guide us through the process and analysis results. Their dedication to delivery allowed us to go through CDR and into manufacturing against a tight customer schedule. We were delighted to have discovered KDC Projects and will use their engineering services again.

Adam Bargh, Olsen Actuators

Very supportive when asking questions and are keen to keep in contact to make sure their staff are performing. If the staff aren’t they are quick to offer/take action.

Dennis Cooper, Draken

KDC deliver work to a high standard and it always comes in on time. They respond quickly and are always happy to re-scope or adjust when the inevitable direction change comes from Eaton IPTs. If we want something done quickly with minimal guidance/management we know that’s what we get at KDC.

Nicholas Richardson, Eaton

I have found KDC to be open, honest, professional and flexible in their approach which has aided in building an excellent working relationship between ourselves at BAES and the team from KDC.

Ian Marne, BAE Systems
