Defence & Military Engineering Consultancy
DOCAN works with organisations across the defence and military sectors to help develop equipment that performs reliably in tough, high-stakes environments – whether on land, at sea, or in the air.
Our team of highly skilled engineers specialise in designing, testing, and optimising mission-critical systems and components to ensure the highest levels of reliability, quality and performance.
Our expertise in defence engineering
DOCAN’s engineers bring years of experience working in high-integrity industries, where performance, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable. Within the defence and military sectors, we’ve worked with a wide range of organisations – from major OEMs to niche suppliers to tackle their most complex engineering challenges.
From vehicle modifications and sat-comms integrations to airborne electronics and naval systems, we provide technical expertise that spans the full lifecycle – from initial concept through to validation and deployment.
Some of our projects include:
- Modification of OEM off-road vehicles for military sat-comms usage
- Design and assessment of military comms equipment on Frigates
- Electronics thermal management and packaging for military applications
- Thermo mechanical design of electronics and sat comms equipment (SABIT, Manpack, Paradigm)
Engineering & simulation services for defence and military systems
As a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, DOCAN offers a full range of advanced engineering services, using state-of-the-art simulation tools to model, test, and optimise components.
Whether you’re developing complex military vehicles, designing high-performance aerospace systems, or engineering naval platforms, our team integrates structural, thermal, fluid dynamics, and vibration analysis to deliver reliable, high-performing solutions.
By using state-of-the-art simulation methods like FEA, CFD, and multi-physics analysis, we help you understand how your components will behave in real-world conditions. This approach not only ensures that your designs are fit for purpose but also cuts down on costly prototypes and expensive iterations, ensuring your project remains both time efficient and cost-effective.
How we help our clients
We support clients throughout the entire lifecycle of a project – from concept design and validation to optimisation and post-deployment analysis.
Whether you’re a large OEM or a specialist supplier, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs, helping you get your systems into operation faster and more efficiently. This includes:
- Mechanical systems design and development
- Stress analysis covering all aspects of mechanical and structural engineering.
- Vibration and shock analysis, including implicit and explicit FEA and rotating equipment
- Structural and fatigue life assessments
- Thermal and fluid dynamics simulations, covering 0D, 1D and 3D CFD and Fluid Structure Interaction problems
- Multi-physics modelling for complex interactions
- Manufacturing systems design and analysis, including production plant design services.
These core services are integral to our operations as an engineering consultancy. With this transferrable expertise across multiple disciplines, we’re able to provide tailored engineering support that addresses the unique demands of each defence and military project, ensuring the design and development of reliable, mission-ready equipment.
