CMMC compliance for avionics suppliers
CMMC Compliance for Avionics Suppliers
Avionics suppliers produce the embedded electronics that fly defense aircraft. We bring your firmware, FPGA, and PCB operations to CMMC Level 2 while respecting DO-178, DO-254, and export control obligations.

Avionics suppliers handle some of the most sensitive unclassified data in defense. Flight-control firmware, FPGA HDL, PCB schematics, and mission-system software are all typically CUI, and much of that data is also export-controlled under ITAR. A compromise is both a CMMC failure and a potential export violation.
The engineering stack in an avionics shop is wide: embedded C/C++, Ada, VHDL and Verilog, DO-178 software lifecycle evidence, DO-254 hardware evidence, Altium and Cadence schematics, and mechanical enclosure CAD. Every one of those assets lives on engineering seats that must be protected at CMMC Level 2.
Primes including Collins Aerospace, Honeywell, BAE Electronic Systems, L3Harris, and RTX Avionics are flowing CMMC Level 2 on every new DoD avionics award. Small and mid-size avionics subs cannot wait to start.
We build CMMC programs for avionics suppliers that integrate with DO-178 and DO-254 processes, protect firmware and HDL as crown-jewel IP, and satisfy ITAR access controls alongside CMMC.
CUI We Protect for Avionics Suppliers
Firmware Source Code
Embedded C, C++, and Ada source for flight-control, mission, and weapon systems.
FPGA HDL (VHDL/Verilog)
HDL source for safety-critical and mission-critical FPGAs.
PCB Schematics & Layouts
Altium, Cadence Allegro, Mentor Xpedition designs for defense avionics.
DO-178 / DO-254 Artifacts
Requirements, design, verification, and certification artifacts tied to CUI systems.
Flight-Control Algorithms
Algorithmic designs and MATLAB/Simulink models.
Test Procedures & Data
Verification test procedures and results tied to CUI systems.
What CMMC services do we provide for avionics suppliers?
End-to-end CMMC consulting, fixed-price. See how CMMC compliance works.
Gap assessment
A full review against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, with a documented SPRS score and a clear picture of where your CUI lives.
Readiness assessment
A mock assessment that mirrors the official methodology, with objective evidence collection and interview coaching.
Policy and documentation
SSP, POA&M, incident response plan and the supporting policy set, written in plain English for how you operate.
Technical controls
Network segmentation, FIPS-validated encryption, MFA, audit logging, vulnerability management and endpoint hardening.
Managed compliance
Log review, vulnerability scanning, quarterly evidence refresh and annual SSP updates between assessments.
Assessment support
Scoping, scheduling, interview coaching and on-site support during your formal assessment.
Avionics Suppliers: CMMC questions
When do avionics suppliers need CMMC?
Primes are flowing Level 2 onto new awards now. Flight-safety-critical programs may move to Level 3.
What CUI do we handle?
Firmware, HDL, schematics, DO-178/254 artifacts, algorithms, and test procedures.
How do we protect source?
Isolated source repositories, MFA, signed builds, SBOMs, and audit logging.
How long does it take?
Seven to twelve months for most avionics suppliers.
How does ITAR interact?
Every CMMC control that governs access must also satisfy ITAR US-person rules. We design for both.
