FORCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS, INC.

Force Measurement Systems, Inc. specializes in the design, calibration, and refurbishment of high-precision thrust measurement systems used in aerospace and defense propulsion testing. Their core capabilities center on the development and validation of force measurement instrumentation, including sensor integration, data acquisition configuration, and system calibration for extreme environmental conditions. The company demonstrates deep technical expertise in thrust measurement system (TMS) architecture, head/aft end load cell validation, and the modification of legacy measurement hardware to meet evolving test requirements. Their work ensures traceable, NIST-referenced accuracy critical for rocket engine qualification and propulsion system validation, setting them apart through hands-on engineering of measurement chains under dynamic, high-vibration operational conditions. The contractor has delivered mission-critical measurement solutions to the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For the DoD, they have supported propulsion test programs by configuring and calibrating thrust measurement systems for missile and engine test stands. For NASA, they have performed refurbishment and upgrade work on existing thrust measurement infrastructure, ensuring continued operational readiness for launch vehicle and propulsion research. Their relationship with these agencies reflects a pattern of trusted, repeat engagement on technically demanding hardware lifecycle support. Force Measurement Systems operates primarily under NAICS 541715 for research and development in physical engineering sciences and 334519 for manufacturing specialized measuring devices. This dual focus positions them at the intersection of R&D innovation and precision hardware production, serving the aerospace propulsion and defense test infrastructure markets. Their niche is the engineering of force measurement systems—not just sensors, but complete test-ready assemblies—making them a specialized supplier for agencies requiring validated, field-deployable measurement hardware. As a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Anaheim, California, the company leverages its certification to compete in federal small business set-asides. Their geographic presence in Southern California aligns them with key aerospace and defense test centers, reinforcing their role as a responsive, technically agile provider to the federal government’s propulsion testing ecosystem.
